Happy Birthday to me. I woke with a horrible case of chemosis, the whites of my right eye is so swollen it bulges out of my eye. It is yellow and red and hurts like a mother. It looks like my eye has turned into a blood and puss filled jelly marble.

Notice how the whites of my eyes are so swollen it is beginning to flop over my pupil.  I took this picture last night, my eye is so sensitive this morning that I can barely open it and the whites are swollen even more.  I am going to call my surgeon today and ask for the steroid eye drops because this is bad.  

I wanted to let you all see what can happen with this type of eye surgery.  It happens in 10% of the people and i'm a lucky 10.



But notice how nice the eye looks, the surgery is barely noticabe,  I put the tape back on the corner of my eye because it's kind of raw still and all the tearing stings.  LOL.

Gross as the swelling looks it reminds me of a really bad case of allergy eyes.  I still can't see where you had your eyes done.  Hope the drops clear it all up.

Happy birthday!

The steroid drops should help and keep on the ice packs as well.

Becca is picking up the drops and I have been icing the eye every 2 hours.  It looks ike a freaking bee stung me in it.   It won't close a the way water is pouring out and my vision is blurry.   LOL.  Happy Birthday.

  This youngin is going to have a great birthday.  My eye will take about a month or two to heal she said, so I just have to deal with it.

Sorry your eye looks like that on your b-day, but on the a good note.  I can't tell if you had any eye surgery.  Happy Birthday Lee!
