I'm a lot better now but three days ago I was in bad shape, at least from the mirror's prospective. The past couple of days I had a considerable amount of swelling in the forehead that I could see slooowly moving down my face, from the upper forehead to the eyebrows, then around the eyes and temples. By the time it got down to my eyes I realized the swelling was partially blood from surgery, which seems to have shown up around my eyes. By day 3 post-op, I looked like I went 5 rounds in the boxing ring and lost to a knockout. As of today the swelling has gone down and much the black and blue around my eyes has dispersed, partially thanks to warm compresses and light massage I think and I look a lot better than I did the past two day. I will say that I may have been partially to blame for the amount of blood in the swelling. Or maybe not according to my Dr, who I talked to right after posting a Hello to you. Apparently some have more blood than others. But I did have to deal with a busted hot water heater that evening after surgery, then two days later when a plumber installed a new one. I was moving around too much I think. But its all good now thank God. What a week! Hope yours has gone well! Cheers.

Hi Shuriken. Like you on this Christmas Eve, I'm sitting here in my comfortable computer chair with a swollen forehead and eyes. I washed my own hair last night for the first time too. I think I made the mistake of sleeping a little too low, well probably a lot too low ... basically flat last night and of course that's probably why I'm so swollen today. My right eye looks like I took a left hook in a boxing match that I lost. Oh well. Merry Christmas to you all!
