Day 2 post surgery : Sat 9th July 2005

Last nite was a rough nite - my left eye started getting more and more red as the nite went on; even though I used ice packs and was slowly shutting. I was getting impatient doing nothing but sitting on the recliner and attempting to watch tv with my one good eye. It has made a big difference though in having one good eye as opposed to before having both eyes feel *blind* from the bleph.

Thankfully sleep was constant and uninterrupted and unlike my original upper/lower bleph surgery and ptosis repair, my eyes did not go dry during the night - could be because I used artificial tears and also lacrilube, though I also did not have the hot watery eyes I also had after my original bleph, of which I am thankful. Lacrilube helped a lot; and that's the stuff you can still see on my left eye in the pix above.

Eyesight is very blurry this morning and it's been a couple of hours since I woke and eye is still blurry - so is the right eye though that could be from the stuff the plastic surgeon put in both my eyes. Strangely I had gunk in my right eye that the ps said I'd have in my left eye.
