One Eye Wont Open After Eyelid Surgery? (photo)

Surgery Date 1/03/2013 My right eye is still not opening and its vision is blurry. The doctor put a drop in the eye to stimulate the muscle and it opened for about 5 minutes :) However, I neglected to ask him what that might mean for me! Does this reaction to the eye-drop mean I have muscle damage rather than tendon damage? Is the damage likely to repair itself over time? How common is this kind of complication? And is there anything I can do to help strengthen that muscle but wait?
