I can't tell. It doesn't seem to be getting worse. One side seems to be a little more swollen and another side seems to be a little less swollen. He didn't tell me how long to keep the compress on. I do it til it is no longer warm. I hope that is right
bobby

That seems right to me.

I think the bump is going down a little with the swelling. I have another week to soak the eyelid with a warm compress. i am hoping he doesn't have to cut it.

I'm glad it looks like the bump is going down a little bit. I hope another week of warm compresses does the trick!

thanks so much...I don't think it is my imagination. i just looked a few minutes ago after i applied another compress.
bobby

Sending healing thoughts.
I hope it continues to go down.

i looked at it again and now i am not sure if it went down. he gave me instructions in case i need an operation. he would use eye drops and then an injection..didn't make me feel like a happy camper with the injection part.
I am definitely not brave

I'm going to tell you the absolute truth, Bobby:

I'd probably be in the BR every hour or so staring at my eye, and I would be re-reading the surgery instructions he gave me over and over. By doing this I would be driving up my anxiety, and driving myself nuts.

If you're inclined to do it, please don't do it to yourself. You might not notice it's getting better if you're looking at it too often.

The surgery is an IF. Keep up with the warm compresses. Just because it hasn't gone away doesn't mean he won't be satisfied with the progress you've made by the time you get to the office.

Hi
cecilia looked at the eye and said it is almost all right now. I will diligently do the compresses.
bobby

It's great to have another perspective

Keep up the good work.
