when strep just isn't enough
DIagnosed on Thursday afternoon. 'No kissing until Sunday' says the doc.
Right.
Of course, this compared not at all to waking up at 3 AM in more pain than I can consciously remember being in since my last surgery... just in my left eye. Jeff was calm and sweet while I spent an hour flushingmy eye with water, saline, and allergy drops, and finally begging him to drive me to the ER. The pain was so bad I was beginning to panic just from the constant intensity.
As the ER doc put it, and I quote, 'The entire surface of your cornea is scratched to hell. How you made it to 3 AM is beyond me.'
Me too. Apparently, all this occurred in the 3-4 hours I was wearing a new contact. I mean, opened it that day, new. I thought it was a little uncomfortable, but it's also allergy season, so itchy, watery eyes are not exactly unusal.
*insert eye roll here*
It was a pain, but we had a great weekend anyway, but not without it's parental drama moments. Oivey. More on this later.
I CAN say that perhaps my birthday isn't too early to be expecting a ring! he let a little something slip that leads me to believe he may have already picked it out. :-)
le squeeeee!!
