These things happen to me?
It's 3 days (more or less) till I leave on the first leg of my trip.
I'm not packed, or have the house clean (my mother will lecture me), or caught up at work, or finished writing all my lists for my mother and the little guy.
In my head, today was supposed to be catch up day at work. I spent the first 3 hours of my work time at the little guy's school swimming carnival (school forgot to tell me about it until yesterday) and the last 3 hours at the optomertrist's and the doctors.
Somehow I'd picked up a 'foreign body' in my eye. Since it's only 2 months since the laser surgery, panic ensued. The optomertrist couldn't get it out, so he rang my doctor, who managed to make room for me straight away. After a fair bit of fiddling, the aid of a needle and lots of flinching on my part, I'm just no good with folks touching my eyes he did remove the dumb thing.
Now I have a small hole in my eye with lots of potential for infection. So I'm back on antiseptic drops and have to go see the doctor again Monday morning just before I go. Cross your fingers that nothing else happens...
