Life has its twists and turns, ups and downs, good and bad. In the last three months, I’ve experienced it all.
It started in mid-October with a routine mammogram on the day before I was scheduled for a brow lift. I had been diagnosed with “hooded eyes,” where my eyelids had started to droop over the outside edges of my eyes, making me resemble a hound dog and negatively affecting my peripheral vision.
The surgery worked as expected. The procedure removed the creases in my forehead and lifted the droopy eyelids so that my peripheral vision has been restored.
The night before the surgery, I was nervous about the procedure, which required a lengthy incision across my forehead at my hairline that would take 24 staples to close.
I couldn’t sleep as a result.
