As for my retina detachment surgery itself, everything went well, but recovery has just been a bit slower than anticipated. The surgeon fixed all the holes in my eye and inserted a gas bubble to help everything heal. My depth perception has been severely affected, and all I can see is light and dark out of that eye, so my other eye has to strain like crazy to compensate. I've been getting tired really easily and sleeping a lot throughout the day. Over the next week, the gas bubble will reside, but luckily, in the meantime, I have these two to keep me company while I listen to way too much SVU and Food Network.
Don't worry, I have made it out of the house all of twice. On Thursday night, I went with Erika (who also gave me those beautiful orange tulips) to the Charleston Blog Society pre-opening party at Arhaus. This place was amazing, and I cannot wait to go back when I can actually see more of their interior design work.
We also went to Easter Sunday Service yesterday morning at St. Matthew's. We had never been there before, but I can definitely see us going back. Easter was just the two of us, but we did have a nice dinner yesterday, cooking one of our absolute favorites, lasagna rolls. They were so good!

Oh wow, Arhaus is gorgeous! Definitely need to check it out the next time I'm in Charleston! Sorry to hear your recovery hasn't been going as quickly as you'd like. At least you get unlimited ice cream! :) <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes
i love Arhaus - there's one of them in Louisville where my parents are and I want to always buy all the things! i'm glad you're resting and recovering but i'm sure it's frustrating! at least you have a good nurse and some cute fur babies :)

Glad to hear you're doing better after the surgery! Enjoy the ice cream and a little down-time!
I'm so happy to hear that your surgery went well and hope recovery speeds up for you!! There is an Arhaus in Jacksonville and somewhere near Boston but I haven't been to this one yet!! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston
Kudos for surgery going well. Best of luck on the recovery, one eye has got to be hard.
So glad the surgery went well, I hope recovery gets quicker as long as you stay healthy. <3
So funny, I just stumbled on to Arhaus's instagram the other day for the first time and am in such lust! We don't have one here, so I was perusing online. Glad your surgery went well!
Im glad that you're feeling better, even if the recovery has been slow. Hopefully it speeds up and you're back in business soon! That Arhaus trip looked like fun--and SO MUCH pretty stuff!!
Glad you have a good nurse who is loading up the ice cream for you :)
Hope that healing just picks up for you. I hate when my vision is off a little.
St Matthew's is my favorite church in all of Charleston! If we lived there, that's definitely the one that we would join. Glad that things are going well with your recovery - hope you're back to 100% soon! In the mean time, enjoy alllllll the ice cream :)
Wow the Arhaus is absolutely gorgeous! Glad you were able to go to the event and make it to church on Easter Sunday. Sorry the recovery is taking longer than expected, but yay for a great "nurse" and ice cream. Sending *hugs* <3

I'm so glad to hear that your surgery went well and you are recovering. It's the best to stay in bed when it's rainy, anyways ;)
Hope you continue to recover and get better smoothly! We recently got an Arhaus and I love going to browse. And then I see the prices...Have a good week!
Hope you feel better soon! Sounds like Mike is taking good care of you!
I like the way your husband thinks, lots and lots of ice cream! Hopefully you'll make a speedy recovery, but no matter what it looks like you have great company during the recovery process, including some Law & Order SVU!
Happy Healing! Your surgery sounds painful. But the ice cream looks delicious! Take it easy :)

I am really glad that your surgery went well!
Love the pictures :) Glad you had a great weekend!
Although slow at least your eyes are healing!
Ice cream, SVU and food network sounds like the best way to recover.
