Dr. is hoping I won't need a weight. Since the ligament he 'adjusted' wants to contract as it heals, I have to keep 'stretching' my upper eyelid by closing my eye and massaging the lid upwards towards my eyebrow. It hurts right now, but will get better as it heals. If I don't keep checking how well it is closing and keeping the ligament stretched out, the contraction will undo the surgery. If I can keep the ligament loose enough to continue closing the eye completely, I will not need a weight in the eyelid. I guess time will tell.
Right now, I'll be glad when the stitches are out on Friday. They dry out and pull. The skin is pretty sore around them. I look like I got in a fight with a rainbow. My upper lid is shades of blue and purple. My eye itself is red. The skin around my eye, underneath it, and next to my nose is bright orange with a touch of yellow. Too bad I have brown eyes instead of green. If they were green, I'd have every color of the rainbow...lol
