My wife experienced severe itching and tearing in her left eye today. I scooted down to Walgreen's to buy some Visene for her, but that didn't work. Her eye got progressively worse. Her eye appeared to have a faucet attached....water poured from it. Finally, we got a fit-in appointment to see our ophthalmologist, with a 3:00 pm appointment time. We were warned that we'd have to be fit in whenever he had a chance. She was his last patient at 4:30 pm.
As it turns out, she had a new rogue eyelash growing in wrong on her lower eyelid. Its location and orientation had done considerable damage in terms of scratching her cornea. But, the good news is that she should be just fine in a few days, provided she puts in all the drops she's supposed to...I'll see to that.
All of this hubbub caused me to miss the birthday celebration at my office for one of my staff. Fortunately, we'd bought the cake last night and got the staffer a card, so the remaining people pulled it off without us. I'm terrible at getting cards, remembering birthdays, etc. My wife is wonderful at that. Good mix.
I'm worn out just thinking about what I have to get accomplished next week before the holidays. We'll close the office for the entire following week and the first two days of the succeeding week. Hot damn, I'm going to have some time away!
I hope you enjoyed (or will enjoy) my two Leonard Cohen YouTube videos from yesterday. I'm going to load more.
