In the next few days I hope to get a call from an ophtamologist about an appointment.

Those who know me are familiar with the somewhat sardonic look I have. But my right eyelid droops as it does naturally, and is not an expression. However, of late it's drooping too much. It's interfering with my vision. Now and then over the last year or two its done this, and cleared up shortly, leading me to think my lid was swollen that day, for unknown reason. But the condition has persisted for a week now. It's more pronounced as well. The lid covers my pupil, and since I can't see out of it, the eye wants to close altogether. So I saw my doctor.

It isn't a problem with the eye. If I hold it open with my finger, I can see fine. But this would not only look stupid, it would be impossible to do all day. It isn't how I look that matters... but how I see.
