I had ptosis surgery (blepharoplasty) this morning. I look like I was dug up from my grave! It's not painful, but somewhat annoying.
I have to ice for 20 minutes every hour (for 24 hours) and my husband is a strict taskmaster. Vision is blurry, so I'm listening to a Sedaris audiobook and tonight I think I'll be able to watch a show on the BIG teevee.
Bad timing in that my new wig arrives today and it's going to be pretty difficult to judge how it looks with red swollen eyes. It's my first venture into a slightly lighter color than my usual dark brown.
