LUG:

I think some of you guys are eye guys.  I tripped over the dog's leash on
September 18th and hit my face on the wooden arm of a chair on the way
down.  It has continued to bother me so I had a CAT scan today which showed
that I fractured the orbital floor under my eye.  They are making an
appointment for a consultation with an ophthalmologist.

This is my left eye - the one I focus my camera with.  I don't have double
vision or any problem with my vision - just pain, swelling and a headache.
My GP has me on an antibiotic in case there is an infection.

What is my prognosis?  What should I ask the doctor?  I have Googled and
there is way too much information to absorb.

Anything to do with my eyes scares me to death.

Tina
