I had orbital decompressions on both eyes in 2007, before I lost all medical coverage. I am glad my daughter insisted I do this; other than the prednisone fat pads in my cheeks, I almost look normal. The doctor who treated me said I was the worst case he’d seen. What a blessing those surgeries were.
Your doctor will give you a scrip for pain meds–my best suggestion is to fill the scrip and have the person helping you (your ride home) bring them so you can take them as soon as possible–before you leave the hospital.
Also, your eyes will be so sensitive to light that you need to wrap them when you leave the hospital. I suggest a couple of big black towels.
