Eye muscle surgery in my right eye yesterday went great.  I have some bloody tears but that is very normal.  The doc put a punctum plug in the lower lid during my surgery so hopefully i tear better. I have double vision worse than before but he said it should be better in a few days. Already happy i did it although it's so damn early in the morning today. I must be excited and wanted to look at my eye in the mirrior to wake up this early!   ;)

Taylor,

   I am so happy things went well. I'm sure you are feeling better having the stress of going in to have it done behind you. Now it's time to rest and recover from the surgery. Please take your time about the Welbutrin. research it and discuss it with the doc. You may find that the results from this surgery help you to feel better about things. No question all of this have been life changing, and I think from time to time we all will go through bouts of depression. But if at all possible, I think it's a good idea to try and stay off of the emds that might make us feel mind altered (since the An surgery already makes us feel that way) If you still are having difficulties, I would look into therapy too.

Take Care, God Bless
