Sorry I didn't update yesterday. Not much changed yesterday anyway!
The bruise under the right eye is healing but still there. The left lower is a little tender if I rub it but is otherwise fine. The right upper is as if nothing happened there. It was only a tiny dot anyway!!!
The left upper, where the flap and moat are continues to heal. I got it wet for the first time yesterday and it appears to have done it some good. It actually looks like its sliding into place now. The moat is still there but after it got wet, the new "scab" looks a lot better. It's going to take it's time, just like the raw spots but it is healing.
On the photos, you may be wondering about the red dot under my left eye. Remember with the last surgery how those 2 bumps came up? Well, this bump had been there since that time but never looked close enough to the surface to do anything with it. Over the past few days it has come up a little closer to the surface so, since I'm totally incapable of leaving well enough alone, I decided to fool around with it. It's definitely just like the other two but is still too deep to get out. It even has a little blue tinge to it. Strange that any remnant stitch would still be there but I cant imagine its anything else. One thing I have to say, after playing with it, my eye doesn't twitch nearly as much as it had been twitching. Connection of some sort?? Possibly. As I said, it appeared to be coming to the surface more over the past few days and that's when the twitching started getting worse. Hopefully over the next day or so I can get what ever is in there out. If not, I see Dr. T on Tuesday...maybe he can get it out.
On another note, I spent some time looking at my eyes and previous photos. There are still 2 areas that I think need work.
1) Right lower lid: Dr. L removed the entire lesion in S1. Within 4 months it was back in its entirety. Dr. T removed the lower 3'rd of the lesion in S2 and after 6 months, it has not returned. In S3, he only took a slither off from the top 3rd. I'd like to see more of the body of the lesion removed using what ever technique he's using that keeps them gone.
2)Left upper lid: Now that the swelling has gone down and the flap is falling into place, I can see what he did and what still needs to be done. There is a piece of xanthie above the flap that is part of the reborn xanthie on that lid. Dr. T took about half or maybe 2/3'rd off but there is still a piece that I would like to see removed.
It looks like he may have used a laser on the right upper, right lower and left lower. I'll have to ask him. I had originally thought there were actual incisions on 2 of them but I'm starting to doubt that. It just isnt the same as previous incisions and looking closely at it, it looks like laser to me. Add that to the list of questions for Tuesday!
Here are tonight's photos. Sorry I didn't take the time to get the clear shots I normally get. It's kind of late and I'm tired but since I didn't update yesterday, I didn't want to update without photos. Besides, this blog is not just for you guys, it's for me too! I think somewhere down the road I'd be upset with myself for skipping 2 days of photos at only 10 days post op!
Have a great Memorial Day weekend!!
