Almost First and Definitely Last Today

I had an appointment with the eye doctor this morning...third to sign in...everything seemed fine at that appointment. Came home and didn't do much as I still couldn't see all that well. I went upstairs around noon to do my eye drops and decided to close my eyes for a few minutes. I think I may have dozed a bit. But when I woke up my eye that had cataract surgery yesterday was really hurting...like something was in the eye. I used eye libricating drops on it hoping to solve the problem. We ate lunch and it was still hurting. So I called the eye doctor's office. They told me to put in a lot of the lubricating drops and to put a cold compress on my eyes and promised that it would feel better. Well, two hours later with lots more lubricating drops and lying with the cold compress on my eyes for most of that time, their promise was not fulfilled! At this point tears were running down my face on that side and if I opened the other eye it hurt the eye that I was trying to keep closed. I called again and they said to come in since we lived close. When I got there, I was met with the tech telling me that the doctor said that I probably just needed to do more steroid drops, but since I was there, that they wanted to see me. Well, in the end, good that I went in as I had some abrasion...or something on my cornea which he sceaped off and has put a contact lens over to protect it for the moment. I am to keep putting in the drops...just in the corner and let them roll in to not dislocate the contact. My eye is quite swollen. He said that this would set back my healing some, and that it was good that I had come in...for their last appointment of the day! Already my eye feels much better...of course, the numbing drops may have not worn off. But I can finally see better...though neither eye sees all that great...yet! Patience! I will go back to see him on Friday morning. Looks like the last week of Cheryl's visit is going to be spent going back and forth to the eye doctor...eye surgery yesterday, eye check today, eye fix this afternoon. Hopefully no eye appointments tomorrow! Cheryl finished one of our projects while I rested my eyes this afternoon. She got the wheelchair, etc. stored in the upstairs hall closet. Big job done. It has rained off and on today so no outdoor jobs accomplished today. To be continued! Be safe! Be well! Be cautious!
