Now my new thing today stinks!!! In fact, it was horrible. I was up until 3 am last night because of my eye. We decided this morning I needed to see an eye doctor. This is not how I planned on spending my day.
Well, I will say that the doctors were great, friendly, and nice. They tried to be as comforting as possible as they poked my eye and flipped my lids looking for something in my eye. After a good 20 minutes and 2 doctors later, they came to the conclusion that I have a scratch on my eye and that I have a swollen gland under my eye lid. They are not connected, just happened to happen at the same time. Are you kidding? Guess what else? There is nothing in there, it just will feel that way for a week. A WEEK? I was getting ready to take my eye lid off myself last night. My eyes have been killing me all day, I am wearing a warm compress aka pirate patch, and I am on the verge of puking, but there is not a dang thing in there.
All kidding aside, I have lots of eye drops to apply every hour that really help, and I did get to spend the after noon with my husband which was very nice, so I am very glad I went. I haven't been to the eye doctor since right after high school. There is something about someone getting that close to my eye that freaks me out, but I realized with a quick eye test she gave me, that I probably need some reading glasses too.
So there you have it, my new thing for the day was the stinking eye doctor. Lets hope tomorrow will be a lot more fun.
