I have to use my eyedrops four times a day, so I took them to school and got someone else to put them in for me because I simply CAN'T do it myself. It ended up with Pauline holding my eye open, Aoife holding my hands down, Michelle putting the eyedrops in and me wriggling and shrieking.

My mother was worried about the pain in my eye, so I had to go to the doctor's in the town where my parents' pharmacy is. The doctor doesn't know what the hell is wrong, so I have to go to Eye Casaulty in Dublin tomorrow. Yay, no school. The downside is I have to get up at six to get the train. Gulp ( Read more... )

Last night I had to take painkillers because of the pain in my left arm. I have no idea what causes this pain. It's like a deep pain from my shoulder to my fingers. One time the ache was only in my index finger. Weird. Anyway, it wasn't as if I was in horrible pain or anything, but I knew it would keep me awake ( Read more... )

I slept in until half eleven this morning and it felt absolutely luvurly. Not that I plan to do this for every day of the summer holidays. The day goes by way too fast when I get up so late ( Read more... )

The doctor said that my spine might be slightly curved, which is probably causing the muscle-knotting-up problem. So next week I have to get an X-ray. Fun ( Read more... )
