You know what I said about being done with hospitals? Well, that turned out to be untrue!
Over the past week, my eye had been getting increasingly sticky during the day. So much so that I was pulling green gunge out of it. In the end, yesterday morning I phoned up the eye ward and they said to come down to eye casualty for a check-up.
Went down and the consultant (a different one to who did the surgery) did lots of peering in it with lights and mirrors, lots of different eye drops, and eventually said that he would try and take the stitches out that were at the top of my iris.
"Let me just find some tweezers..." is possibly the worlds worst eye-related sentence.
Anyway, cue more drops, some poking around and he whipped them out and showed it to me. A nice black string about a centimetre long. Apparently there are more stitches in the lower corner by my nose that are lying awkwardly, which are causing the bulk of the irritation. But he can't get that one out because it's under the surface. So that one I will just have to wait until it dissolves.
This morning my eye does feel a bit better for having got the stitches at the top out, but I'm frustrated by the irritating one still left behind! Little f**ker.
So... An appointment on the 2nd October still. THEN I hope to be DONE WITH HOSPITALS! TA DA!
