More Complicated Than I Imagined

I was not prepared for the way I looked after surgery. My surgeon left the sutures long and then taped them to my face above and below my eyes as I had upper and lower blepharoplasty. I was not told about the blurred vision and that is what scared me the most. So if it is any consolation and you happen to have the same problem you will know from me that it will clear up eventually, 4 days for the left eye, 5 weeks for the right eye. The mornings will be your worst time and sometimes it would take 30 minutes for my vision to clear and be able to see anything so be prepared. Use the frozen peas to assist in clearing the blurriness in the mornings. I only took 4 days off of work plus the weekend and I should have taken another few days. Looking at a computer screen was hard for 8 hours and I had to use cold compresses every 3 hours. By the way, bags of frozen peas were a god send for me. Sleep elevated for about a week.
