The Eye

On Saturday night, after I got done doing the dishes, I noticed that my right eye hurt. I got a flash light and Hubby looked at it, but couldn’t see anything.

An hour later, I passed by a mirror and noticed my eye lid was swelling and blotchy red. Hubby checked it out again, but could not find anything that looked like a bug bite or any kind of injury.

By midnight, the eye was weeping, and all night long I woke with an very uncomfortable eye. By this morning the eye was just about swollen shut. I used a warm compress to get the eye to open. I popped more Benedryl and that seemed to help the swelling.

By dinnertime, the swelling began again. I need to do warm compresses, take more Benedryl and then if it is the same in the morning, call my eye doctor.

After the surgeries I have had on both of my eyes to repair my retinas, I am a bit alarmed by this. A call to my retinal surgeons office to run my symptoms by him, will probably make me feel better.

Currently I look pretty aweful! But there is not much I can do, but ride it out.
