Yes, you all are very correct. I have to follow his orders and just chill.

Thanks for the dose of common sense and HD thanks for the support. I want this recovery to go as seamless as possible

HonnyBrown - I just went thru 2 1/2 weeks of letting a sprain heal and I work out HARD 6 days a week (take one day off) I do weights (heavy weights, I curl 25's & 30's) and use my machine and run my Labs, I talked to a friend that is all about nutrition and she told me to just eat VERY clean, no cheating, no sugar and just do what I can, Abs and such and thats what I did. I dont' think I have gained anything and my muscles actually look a little better since dropping so much of the cardio. So, just my advise - REST, your body will love it and keep your nutrition clean and watch the calories just during this time frame, It's not forever sweets! Smiley Happy

I'll have to look up what you had done, I've never heard of it before?

I'll take that problem over the knee issues and groin strain I've had for the past few months. I feel like a caged animal. Pain pills don't even help.

Just be smart. I would think an eye cyst would not take 6 weeks but then again, I am no M.D.

sandgirl, my most recent attempt at eating clean ended with me eating a half a big bag of my son's M&Ms and a block of gouda cheese at 4am. That was after 2 days!

When a stye doesn't respond to warm compresses after 2 months, the immune system kicks in and isolates it by "building" a fibrous cage. This is the chalazion.

STOP READING IF YOU GET QUEASY

The eyelid is sliced open vertically from the lash line to above the lump, the fibers are cut, the chalazion is removed and the lid is stitched.

I asked to see it afterwards and it's larger than a pea and lumpy. It's going out for a biopsy. I'm curious to know what it's made of.

Get your flu shot...because I didn't.

I was prescribed Vicodan! One of my faves!

Gross. I hope you tossed every bit of makeup (everything). Every sponge, brush, applicator, powder, liner, shadow, every single bit. I'd toss the entire vanity out.

Hope you feel better.Smile I don't understand why you can't do many of the things you listed, but then again, I'm not your doctor!

((( glmama )))

Thank you!

The main issue was the bruising and swelling. There's no pain; I stopped taking the Tylenol Extra Strength yesterday and was fine today.

Today, there was a little swelling and no bruising.

The ophthalmologist is also a plastic surgeon, so the stitches look like eyelashes Smile

I go back to work tomorrow.

While you are on your walks, exercise your mind. Use books on tape (or IPod or such) to walk with you. Challenge yourself to learn a skill or language or subject. Create something meaningful to you.
