I just got back from my follow-up eye appointment. This one went much faster than yesterday’s appointment, and I much preferred today’s student/doctor combination over yesterday’s.
My eye is better – no need for the contact lens, therefore no more blurry vision. I also don’t need to use the gel antibiotic anymore (there’s $10 down the drain – I only used it TWICE). He recommended I use the drops the rest of today and then twice tomorrow and twice Saturday use a thick gel version of Visine that he gave me for free. But he said the contact lens helped the eye heal more quickly than if I didn’t wear it, and it’s pretty much healed at this point. The extra drops today will just “seal the deal” (his words, not mine).
So I’m back at my desk, able to work, and sweating like a pig because it’s frickin’ hot and humid here in NYC today. Stupid summer pregnancy.

So sorry to hear about the eye trauma. I meant to post yesterday that when I experienced a scratched cornea years ago, the pain was the most intense I have EVER experienced, like having a nail driven into my eye. Labor pain was nothing compared to what I endured for 24 hours. Praises to Him that you didn’t have that kind of trauma,had good care immediately, and are recovering nicely.
Phew! Glad to know you are feeling better today and that you are on your way to a full recovery. I was nervous that you wouldn’t be able to read your poker hand this weekend. Of course we would have given you the poker name of “One Eyed Jack (of clubs)”. Boo hiss.. bad joke!
*lol* regarding the line of “Stupid Summer Pregnancy”.
Glad to hear it’s better.
Ace, poker next weekend? I’m up there, so let’s play!
