I was able to work in light duty tasks at the office from 7:30 until about 4:00 when I finally ran out of steam and Mary came to pick me up and take me home. I got a lot accomplished and it was nice to feel productive again.
Two of my assistants early in the day examined my face noted that my eyelids didn't touch when I thought I was closing my eyes--that would explain why my tear film seemed to be inconsistent and my vision somewhat blurred once I started being able to see out when the swelling let me actually open enough to see. My eyelid swelling had reduced enough more by the end of the day that my eyelids could touch each other. Once that happened, my vision cleared remarkably.
This morning it is a little cloudy again--probably overdid it a little yesterday and am swollen in the eye a bit more today, but I am encouraged at the progress. I have a followup appointment with the surgeon tomorrow and have a whole page of questions for him about when I can resume more activities, work my mouth to open wider, eat more than soft foods, drive again, and a host of other questions.
I am very grateful for the thoughts and prayers many have offered on my behalf. I feel greatly blessed in consequence of your love and faith. I thank you.
