Eyelid Operation

I'm actually writing this with one eye open, one eye closed under an eye patch. Why? Cause I had an operation on my eyelid!


On Australia Day this year my mum noticed a lump on my left eyelid. We went to a doctor about 2 weeks later, and followed his advice to do warm compressions- warm water on a towel and hold it on my eyelid for about 10 mins 3 times a day. 
That didn't help, so a few weeks after that, we went to another doctor. He said it was a cyst, and referred me to an eye doctor. 
Which brings me to this morning. I thought it was just a regular appointment at 9:30 am. Just a little look at what the problem was, and MAYBE, just MAYBE, if the doctor was up to it, the operation. 


First, I got called to see a doctor who just asked me lots of questions, and we talked about school and subjects because he was also a tutor. He got me to do a few eye tests (and I found that my right eye was the dominant one). Then we went to another room and there was an assistant who just checked out my eyelid. Then the doctor who'd do the operation came and we were like, ok, we'll do the operation please so it's done during the school holidays. 


It was kinda weird, but fun anyway. They flipped over my eyelid and made an incision and drained it and stuff. Yummy, right?
