lagophthalmos...

...the inablity to fully close the eye. (hopefully this is behind us)

in addition to getting his first IMPLANT he also increased his intrinsic worth by getting a GOLD weight inserted into his eyelid today.

i requested to be in the room during the procedure-very cool!!!!! he is now home and resting. it was a bit stingy and a little uncomfortable but other than that he said it wasn't too bad. the eyelid is now pretty swollen and will turn a pretty purple over the next day or so.

you would be amazed how much skin is actually on an eyelid...and how much it smokes when cauterized. poor tim...i am sitting here totally in awe of modern science and he feels crappy. sorry.

well...pretty much going to rest today.

thanks for checking in. the central line comes out on friday-yeah!!!
