For the last couple of days, my right eye has been getting redder and redder. I don't know what happened to it. I haven't worn my contacts for a few days. This morning I suspected I was getting pink eye and so not wanting it to get worse, I spent a couple of hours this afternoon in the ER. I hate going for such trivial things - but I am so glad that I did. It turns out that somehow my cornea is scratched, and was only getting more and more irritated everytime blinked my eye. A numbed and dyed eye, a special light, some ointment, an eye patch and a referral to an ophthalmologist - and I look like a pirate. I think I should get some sort of award for posting the ugliest picture of myself on my blog. Or at least some ice cream.

Patch the Pirate

Hope your eye heals up soon! That is a spectacular picture. A little scary!! You deserve at least a scoop or two of ice cream. :o)
ReplyDeleteOh Thank you for posting that pic- it made a pathetically sick Canadian girl laugh out loud! ( I wouldn't have laughed if you hadn't had made fun of yourself first- I was laughing WITH you.) I would totally share my Nanaimo Bar Gelato with you if you lived closer. Hope your eye feels better soon- i did that as a child and remember it being quite painful.
ReplyDeleteI've got about 247 boxes of Girl Scout cookies sitting in my dining room. Would some of those help? So sorry about your eye but I'm glad you were able to get it taken care of.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds painful!
ReplyDeleteYou do deserve an award for posting this. What kind of virtual ice cream would you like?
Someone there will have to get you the real stuff :)
Better yet have a glass of wine.
Boy are you gonna be upset when you get that patch off and can see the picture of yourself you just put on the Internet! :) Hugs & ice cream.
ReplyDeleteSending a [[[[[[[[[[ HUG ]]]]]]]]]] full of healing. Not a fun thing to go through although I pray God's blessings upon you for this too shall pass. Expecting quick healing, rilda *U*
ReplyDeleteOUCH!!! Praying it will be OK and heal swiftly! You are very brave (or else delirious with pain) to have posted that picture! LOL!
ReplyDeletePoor baby.
ReplyDeleteYUKE! Speedy recovery. Glad you did loss your great sense of humor.
ReplyDeleteAWE, Julie, what a BUMMER. Glad that you found out what was causing the problem and hope you are all better again real soon. I haven't been around the Blogs for a while, I have been working part-time at Liberty Tax for the tax season (what a TRIP this has been) and I just stopped in to see how you all were doing.

Oh, my gosh. I sure hope that starts to heal soon. It looks like it would be painful and itchy all at the same time. I could give you a scoop of vanilla or coffee with a pb choc. chip that Carly made for Luke yesterday.
