Sidelined again...damn it.
So...I'm having to stay home from work again today.
This time, the trouble's my eyes. When I went to the eye doctor last month, he said that what I had thought was a persistent eye infection was actually something rather different. Since I have apparently been dehydrated for a while, my corneas have been sticking to the insides of my eyelids as I sleep. Naturally, when I either open my eyes or my eyes move in my sleep, little tiny chunks get ripped from said cornea. This makes it feel like I have something in my eye that simply will not go away. For whatever reason, it also makes me very photosensitive as well. He gave me some mineral oil-based drops to use, and I applied them for the prescribed 3 weeks to help heal the damage. All was well.
Till I got woke up at 5:20 this morning by a recurrence of said eye pain. And discovered that I can't keep my eyes open comfortably long enough to be safe to drive. I felt really rotten about having to call in sick yet again.
I'm tired of having all these little things wrong with me. I'm tired of this eye problem especially. Back to drinking mroe water and using the drops again, I suppose...but ARRRRGH! So. Very. Frustrated.
