How should I handle addressing my black eye at work?
I got a really bad black eye last week right before Thanksgiving, and I haven't been to work since it happened. I texted my boss about it after it happened, and he encouraged me to work from home until it got a bit better.
After about a week of being swollen shut, it finally opened up yesterday afternoon. While working from home is an option, it's not super productive. On top of that, I saw a doctor yesterday who told me that the bruising is so bad and deep that I should expect it to last until 2025. Given that information, I don't think it makes much sense working from home anymore because I'll have my shiner for a while.
What's the best way to address it with my coworkers? How should I handle giving presentations with it? Any advice would be really appreciated.
For those curious, this is what my eye looks like this morning.
Edit: For those concerned, my black eye was not the result of anyone hurting me. I was just clumsy and slipped in the shower.
