WHAT A DAY!!!

I swear I will write a book someday...

This morning, I woke up and my left eye would barely open. I put some warm water on it and it felt a little better. I was even able to put my contact in. As I was driving my eye became more and more irritated, to the point where I even had to pull over! It was burning and itching and watering and it was VERY sensitive to light! I made it home and I immediately took out my contact. I started to get ready for work and my eye felt better again. I really need my contacts to drive and I didn't have my glasses since Juno decided to eat them as a snack one day... So, I put my contact back in. Everything was fine for about 5 mins or so. My eye started to water and burn again. I made it to work but decided to have the clinic doctor take a look. She suggested I go see my eye doctor immediately.

Really? Immediately? I don't have time to just skip to the doctor in the middle of the day!!! However, by noon my left eye was pretty much shut. I called the doctor and went. I guess this was a sign... I got to the doctor's and during my exam he says, "Which eye is it?" I was like uh, hello, the one that I can't open!!! He said, "Well it's actually both eyes that are infected!" What!?!?!? Apparently, both eyes have spots on the corneas or retinas or something. It's a big deal but not a huge deal as in it causing blindness. I have some kind of infection in both eyes that can be caused in various ways...

RESULT - No contacts for 1-2 months!!!!! No big deal except that I don't have any glasses!!!!!

So off I go, trying to drive without contacts and dilated eyes... I get back to school because I needed to get the after school program going. On my way I called the 1 hour glasses place and they said I had to have my glasses ordered by 6pm. Well problem is I had to teach from 4:30-5:30pm. So I ran to the mall during the 1st hour of program picked out my glasses and quickly got back to teach.

Now, I haven't had contacts in for at least 3 hours and I'm getting a migraine from straining my eyes trying to see! I get to school and can barely teach. I'm having the kids read everything for me because things were THAT blurry...

I get back to the mall, pick up my glasses, and get home around 8pm. Needless to say I went straight to bed... (Hence the late posting...)
