Not trich free, but doing better

I doubt, unless I find a good behavioral psychologist, that I will ever be completely trich free. Having said that, I will finish the title's thought, it has been over a week since I had arthroscopic surgery to correct my hip issues and so sitting, walking and triching are difficult to do still. I have to hop behind my walker since I cannot put any weight on my left leg for 4-6 weeks, hooray. With some shame, I asked my husband to bring my triching mirror, lamp and tweezers into the bedroom. I have sat on the side of my bed in the most comfortable position possible and pulled. I mostly kept to the straggling eyebrows that grow in the oddest of places. I have also pulled some eyelashes from the outside corners of my eyes, but I am trying not to.
I am much more aware of exactly how much stress affects my trich. I had almost no eyelashes, and now many are growing. I don't have scabs above my eyebrows from digging out eyebrows. It will always be a work in progress. I'm also on pain medication, so I'm not exactly lucid all day. Napping while the motion machine works my joint helps. I hope to be able to wear mascara again, to feel Ok no matter how many eyelashes or eyebrows I have.
Enough "confessions" for the night. Thanks for reading.
