lucky emeralds
I'm starting to feel like all my weeks are long.
Honestly. It's Tuesday; feels like it ought to be Friday.
I'm pretty sure it's the stress, but anyway...
So I went back to see the docs yesterday. Dr. R, the glaucoma doc who did my laser procedure, and Dr. M who did the lens implant surgery this past summer. Aaand...
They say I'm doing better.
The laser channel looks good to them, they say it's doing its job, has healed up nicely, and all that good stuff. Also my eye pressure is way down- it was 25 or 26 three weeks or so ago, yesterday it was 14. That's phenomenal.
I had to ask to hear that one twice, just to be sure.
So far, so good.
Also good: the 'blob', as Mom's calling it- the membrane thingy that gave me that trouble a couple weeks ago- seems to have found itself a new home, someplace in my eye where it's not clouding my vision at all. I hope it either stays there or gets flushed completely out of the eye.
And that's my biggest worry right now, and the main reason I'm not saying I'm out of the woods entierly yet. It moved once; it could move again, and go somewhere where it'll be in my way. And nobody wants that to happen; me because it's a pain in the ass, the docs because, frankly, they're still not one hundred percent sure how they'd go about getting rid of it for me if it came to that.
Right now we're not worrying about it too much, just keeping an eye on it- it, and the eye pressure, just to be sure.
I go back in three weeks. You have no idea, really, how much of a vacation from doctors that feels like right now.
I think my lucky earrings must have something to do with it, because it was a surprisingly good Monday.
(Yes, I have lucky earrings. My grandparents gave them to me for my birthday the year before last; emeralds, my birthstone. I love them.)
I got my Algebra test back. It was a scary moment, but it came out alright in the end- I got an 80%! I'd worked out the math, how many points I got out of the points that were possible, and the percentage. I asked my teacher to check my math real quick, and she told me not only had I done the math right (yay me!) but I have a 'B' in the class overall.
A B. In Algebra. Me!
It's possible that between one thing and another, my relations are going to throw some kind of party.
