So I went to see the oculoplastics a couple of days ago. He measured and checked. The incision is completely healed already. He said I could keep doing the exercise to see if the lid will go down a little bit more. He wants me to go back to the optometrist to see if I can be refitted for new contacts. He thinks that maybe the lid is in a different position now and this is causing the contacts to pop out when I put them on. I sure hope it will get resolved soon. I can only put them on for an hour or so before they 'pop' out and I still have a hard time seeing from the left. He said that the eye has not 'stabilized' yet but its not retracting as fast as prior to surgery and my taking meds for Graves. So, that's good news for me :-) I hope that things will stabilize very soon. The eye lashes are still poking the eye and this is causing some redness and dryness. He said the only way to really deal with this is to have surgery but he does not want to do until everything has stabilized. I pray that things settle down soon so I can see better again.
Today I got a wonderful surprise. Carol and her husband Roger came over and changed the spigot of the outside faucet. That was so nice of them to do that. I told Carol that I wanted to plant some flowers outside but didn't coz I had to haul water from inside the kitchen to the front just to water the plants. She told Roger and they came over today to fix it. I hope it will work. I am so blessed to be surrounded by people who help even in the minute details of life. I hope you're having a great week :-) Take care of yourself and hope to talk to you soon.
