Dad's eyes

Dad is home now after having the surgery on his eyelids this morning. We were over there for about 3 1/2 hours---he was gone from his room for about 2 1/2 hours of that but I am sure the actual surgery didn't take that long!! They didn't put him completely out for it but he is mostly completely out now. He looks like he has been playing in the make-up & over did it on the blue & purple! He has more stitches than I will take time to count, both over the eyebrows & on the lids. He was having anxiety over the whole ordeal so he started last night with anxiety pills, took another one this morning + a pain pill for his back, he got over there & they gave him Valium plus whatever else they had to give him to do the surgery, then when they brought him out they told me they had give him more pain med. after surgery bacause it hurt his back having to lie there, then when we got home he needed another pain pill. He is sleeping now & I don't think he will be awake much the rest of the day.
