Thank you Jamie! I like the change there a lot, too. I think there is still *quite* a bit of swelling to go down before the final result shows... It's almost like a lot of the swelling coming down from my forehead & brows is getting caught there and it's still really spongy.
I am very excited to see the final result, and so far I feel really good about where things are heading.
Day 13:
So I rediscovered my old glasses last night, they seem to help my eyes while recovering from the lower eyelid stuff. I had been avoiding them for a year because they always made my face look so masculine and I didn't really need them. Anyway, the surgery was done through an incision inside my lower eyelid, and no sutures are necessary... it just kind of heals on its own. My eyes have been a little dry and blurry so the glasses do fix it (my eyesight hasn't changed at all with glasses on).
As far as how the glasses look, well, they look completely different to me now. I don't mind them at all anymore. Actually in this pic they did a pretty good job of hiding almost all of the remaining bruising. Earlier this morning right out of bed, no makeup (bruising doesn't count
)
Bruising and swelling are going down down down and super fast the past 24-48h. I realized if I elevate my head a little bit higher during sleep it is draining out almost twice as fast. Also I've been drinking probably 3 gallons of water a day and eating a high calorie no sugar diet (candida cleanse).
Things are going well, I just can't wait to have full energy back. Today I took a 4hr snooze during the afternoon!
