Another Sickie in the House!

This posting is not for faint-of-heart! Carl's upper eyelids had so much excess "stuff" in them that they were pushing his eyelids onto his eyeball, so the doctor recommended surgery. Carl figured since they were messing around with his eyes anyway, he would have them remove the bags under his eyes while they were at it. The result is a bit scary now, but in the end we're hoping for an even more handsome Carl!!

So, at this point, Pat hobbles around on her cane taking care of her sickie, then lays down on the couch until the next round of eye drops and pain pills are required for him. Ahhh...what would we do without each other!

Here's what is under that white ice pack...

I love that Cameron didn't mind how his grandpa looked. He fell asleep on his lap while being babysat. Cute! Mom, you should take a picture of dad every day and post it. That would be cool!

Upper and lower blepharoplasty! Ahh, this brings back the good old days when I worked at the plastic surgeon's office. LOL I don't know how far post op you are, but you actually look great in that pic. You'll LOVE the results!
