Mamarati

Hardly any redness left and it’s feeling better, too. It’s less scratchy and no more shooting pains since yesterday. I’m still completely aggravated by light, though, and even walking across the room causes enough of a breeze across my eye to make me wince.

You can’t tell very well in this picture, but that eye is still dilated, too. It’s so weird looking to have one pupil gigantic and the other just a dot. He said that would last about 4 days.

I’m still really tired. I don’t know how or why an eye injury can make one so tired, but I am truly exhausted and have been napping once or more per day. I’m about to take a little cat nap right now, even.

Tomorrow the contact lens gets peeled off. I’m nervous about it and feel myself getting a little light-headed just thinking about it. I worry so much about him taking layers of my eyeball with him or worse, going back to eyelid sticking to eyeball in the morning.

I’m a total wussy when it comes to pain, don’t you know?

Other good news is that my actual vision is starting to come back up to par. Though it comes and goes. Last night I could read stuff on the onscreen channel guide with the good eye closed. Now, however, I can’t even read this text that way. At least I know the potential is there.

I tried not to work today and just rest, but ended up doing a little bit. I have kind of liked just sitting around, sleeping and watching TV. I had a Law and Orderthon yesterday, which I haven’t allowed myself to do for years and years. Kinda fun.
