the nose eyes knows

So my eye problems are far from over. You see by the time I had identified the foreign object in my eye (left one) it was a bit infected. As luck would have it I managed to move the infection from my left eye to my right. So I spent a chunk of the weekend with my right eye almost swollen shut. Since I've been back to work I've been less than diligent about putting the eye drops in so it's still been pretty irritated and a wee bit red and swollen this morning. Of course I keep touching my eyes and rubbing them so I'm really my own worse enemy. Even now my eyes are telling me they are tired. They are sick of being open. They are watery, slow to focus and just plain being difficult and yet for some stupid reason I keep sitting here trying to piece together a post that's been floating around in my head all day. Which is stupid, right? Of course. Why do I do this to myself? I'm really not sure.

Okay, have you gone to the doctor? I ask because my sister gone a "foreign object" (dust particle) in her eye last year and it caused an ulcer, yes an ucler!, in her eye. She got to the doctor just in time to avoid serious damage. Just a word of caution to get it checked out if you haven't yet...

Thanks for the concern and the note of caution Karen, I do appreciate it.

I have to say today my eye has been 100% better. You see I'm my own worse enemy. I spend my work day looking at a computer monitor and then I come home and spend even more time looking at a computer monitor and completely ignoring the fact that my eyes are tired. They don't want to read anymore. So I push my luck and start rubbing my eyes and it just snowballs from there. Today has been a huge improvement, but then I only worked for a few hours this morning.

Thanks again!
