Yesterday my awesomely awesome cousins came by the house to keep me company. They brought a load of DVD's to watch, as well as Lou Malnati's pizza, pie and boba shakes. They're the best! We just hung out, watched a movie and made fun of my eye. It was nice to have them over, I've really missed all of them.
I'm a big worrier, and I was a little out of it after the surgery and during my post-op visit, so I didn't ask too many questions. Something I've been noticing lately is some swelling in the tissue surrounding my eye and some bloody discharge (sorry for being gross). I've debated on whether or not this is normal, but finally I called the doctor today. He was really great and patiently answered all 1001 questions I had, and totally put me at ease. However, it turns out that I'm having an allergic reaction to the eyedrops, but nothing major, it happens to a lot of people. The doc wants me to keep up with the eyedrops until my appointment next Wednesday. It's good to know that there isn't anything freakishly wrong.
Since I'm semi-complaining, let me rant on about the trivial hardships that plague me. Yesterday I had a fitful night of sleep. I had dreams of trying on different skins on different parts of my body, but everything I tried on was itchy and irritating. It was driving me crazy. I woke up to find bug bites all over my body. There must have been a spider or something in the bed last night as I slept, which just crept along my body, chomping and biting away.
So not only am I blind in one eye, I'm also itchy all over the place!
...and a Happy Birthday to Dave's brother Justin!

Glad to hear the latest development with your eye wasn't something really bad. Maybe the doctor will change the eye drops after your next appointment.

This entry reminds of a bad time that I'll remember forever. I was about 6 or 7, really sick with a very high fever and I was sleeping on the floor in my parents' bedroom so my mom could keep an eye on me overnight. And every time I closed my eyes I saw bugs. Everywhere. She'd turn on the light to prove there were no bugs, but they just sank into the carpeting when she turned on the light.
Okay, you're not hallucinating. That was me. Lol. And your sense of humor is still intact. So I know you're on the mend. Hang in there!
