I'm like that as well, I hope you're doing okay, and the swelling goes down quick xoFarmers Wifeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03108216621628520756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-60876356539281003952013-06-18T19:39:48.508+08:002013-06-18T19:39:48.508+08:00Stitches out this morning and a 95% improvement al...Stitches out this morning and a 95% improvement already although have to wait till all swelling goes down to see full effect. Dr reckons when I look in the mirror in a couple of weeks time I will definitely want the other one done although it is nowhere as bad yet. I have reached the Medicare safety net so not a bad idea to get in done before year's end. Told to continue with ointment till tube empty.<br />I feel so for the elderly who fall so often. I have always been fortunate in being steady on my feet and apart from the unusual accident a couple of years back when I dislocated my shoulder I don't think I've had a fall for 10 or more years, probably much longer. <br />My glasses seem to be keeping clear now so much more reading and my new Reacher book is "Without Fail". Was on special at Big W last week and is one I'd missed getting from the library which pleased me no end.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-48046247345425887472013-06-17T19:59:10.420+08:002013-06-17T19:59:10.420+08:00The eye doesn't look too bad at all, I've ...The eye doesn't look too bad at all, I've seen much worse in my days at the checkout. Many elderly people come in with swellings and bruises from falling or bumping into things. One lady was so bad I was really concerned for her, I asked was she alright and what had happened. Her walker had stalled in a crack in the footpath and fallen over taking her with it. Her face was black and blue and hands all skinned and scraped. Anyway, back to you, you look like the eye will heal really well and I bet you'll be glad to get back to reading without having to clean your glasses every few minutes. You may still need the ointment for a day or two to keep the skin flexible after the stitches come out.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-68964086116169767502013-06-17T12:24:39.908+08:002013-06-17T12:24:39.908+08:00Not real troubles Rae....just old age I guess.

I find sometimes it is too easy to do something of the kind without realising that. Hopefully you will be able to get it all back to 'normal'. Good luck. xxxMimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-64373841170012192342013-06-17T12:22:40.430+08:002013-06-17T12:22:40.430+08:00I'm glad too and the next not till 8 August. ...I'm glad too and the next not till 8 August. Stitches out tomorrow (Tuesday) and hopefully no more ointment!!! I get frustrated at not being able to read but the specs just keep getting gunk on them but have managed to read in bed for about 10 mins each night. Perhaps I should try reading laying down? No not during the day.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-31022548348239386562013-06-17T12:20:25.658+08:002013-06-17T12:20:25.658+08:00Thanks Buttons....it does look pretty awful doesn&...Thanks Buttons....it does look pretty awful doesn't it?
