All eyes on Us
I was thinking about one of surgeries I have had the other day. I had a bump in my eyelid. According to Wikipedia it was a chalazion. ”A chalazion, also known as a meibomian gland lipogranuloma, is a cyst in the eyelid that is caused by inflammation of a blocked meibomian gland usually on the upper eyelid. “ I was 17 years old and I had senior pictures around that time. The photographer said we should wait until chalazion was gone. I needed to have it removed. When I finally did, I went to a doctor I will never go to again. He was not very patient friendly. I held my breath while they were burning the cyst out and the pulse oximeter went off. They thought I stopped breathing. I actually was on the phones at work last week and someone called in for coverage for the removal. It was nice to be able to tell someone not to worry, but what to expect in the surgery.
