EYE DROPS ARE THE DEVIL. When I was a baby my mom was all strung out and my dad was at work...so left unwatched I managed to crawl under my playpen and get crushed by the bar. I was under there for about 5 min when my mom found me and pulled me out...unfortunately the entire side of my face got crushed and paralyzed. SO there in started the trauma of my face. I developed a "paulsy" thing (it's SO not something to laught at...but I do because it is funny) and I had something like 8 surgeries before I was one...nothing worked. I am even in the Harvard Medical Journal because my nerves gave off no responce to electrical stimulation...which is supposidly the only case of that ever...I am techincally not supposed to be able to talk and my face should be halfway to the floor.
My parents kind of gave up until I was 6 and I went to a chiropractor...all the sudden her work was starting to have results and she got me to look completely normal...her and a few more surgeries. Anyways when all was said and done the dead nerves grew back, but they grew to my mouth and not my eye...like normal people...so I kinda wink when I talk sometimes...something no one notices but I do and I never smile because of it...my mouth and my eye are like 98%, but the 2% kills me...I used to get made fun of for it so now I just dont like smiling and blah blah blah...Robyn didn't even notice until I told her. ANyways THE POINT OF ALL THIS...until a week ago I figured there was no damage done besides the eye weirdness, however my right eye doesn't blink all of the way...which causes my eye to have no tears which means that when I blink I scratch my eye. I have lost some vision in my right eye but I never thought it was that, I figured I just had blurred vision...so the eye doctor gave me these milky eye drops that I need to use all the time...twice a day forever but I always miss the one at night. I always seem to fall asleep on my couch and always miss the night drops...which I am thinking is a bad thing, plus I never wear the glasses she gave me to wear all the time. I guess I am just a lazy bitch, but I mean I am worried about losing all my vision in that eye..ahhhh I suppose this was a senseless post considering that solution is jhust to put them in before I go downstairs, but it has been on my mind so I figured I would post it...alright well thanks for reading that pointless story...:-D
