Well, my eye has been hurting for a few days, so I made an appointment at the eye doctor's, thinking that I had some sort of eye infection.
My normal eye doctor was not in today, so I saw a little Greek guy who was about a head shorter than me.
I sat down in the big chair and he asked me a series of questions.
"Does it hurt?"
"Yes."
"Is it blurry?"
"Yes."
"I can see that it's red."
"Very."
He sat down across from me, made me put my chin in the little chin-holster, and started looking into my eye with that blinding little gamma ray. I flinched.
"Well, when you do something, you do it right."
"What?"
"You have three ulcers in your eye."
"What?!"
"Holes. You have three holes in your eye."
"WHAT? Why?"
"Have you been sleeping in your contact lens or not changing it out in time?"
I am so fastidious about my contact lens that it's insane. "No!"
He totally didn't believe me.
"I swear!! Really!! I'm so careful with my contact!!"
I could tell that he still didn't believe me.
He wrote me a prescription for some drops that I have to take every few hours, and I have to go back in a couple of days to get it checked again.
Holes. In my fucking eye. Plus I can't wear my contact and have to wear my dorky glasses.
Good lord.
And how was YOUR day?
Weird, I so have that too.
I was working retail during the holidays and my eye just started hurting. I wound up in emergency having them remove my contact. I still can't wear contacts.
um, hows your eye now?
Apparently babies dry you up. I can't even wear my lenses at all anymore. :(
Look on the bright side, at least you are one of the fashionable ones who was smart enough to pick out cute glasses in case of an emergency such as this; your glasses look great on!
Man, I feel for you... I have had no less than FIVE corneal ulcers in my eyes over the years. It's painful as hell, but with some steroid drops and some rest, you should be fine. That sucks. I hope you feel better soon!
My day was pretty good... I enjoyed the surf lessons Shawn and I took this morning, despite swallowing about 20 gallons of ocean water and eating more than my share of sand. Sunset was beautiful...
Sorry about your eye! I'll send you lots of *~*~*~*~*quick healing vibes*~*~*~*~*!!
Oh, surfing, I am jealous!!!
Ha Ha Ha!!! Dorky glasses dorky glasses!!!!!
