I need to get out and exercise, but cannot honestly say that I will. Monday was a crazy day finishing up the Swedish Weaving convention, helping out my friend, and getting the puppy back home. I could have got up early to run, but I hate to disturb the other three ladies that I shared a room with. Tuesday was back to work. I had a nice lunch with Leslie and was jealous of her running the 50 miler this weekend. My right eye has been bothering me for a few weeks off and on and it started getting really bad that afternoon. I thought I had something in my eye, but the irrigated it and work and couldn't see anything. I finally was able to get the worst of the pain to go away by wadding up a paper towel behind my sunglasses to force my eye to stay shut. The pressure helped. I finally went home early to rest the eye. It eased up long enough for me to run some more running stuff to Leslie's, but on the way home it started getting painful again. Taped gauze on the eye, but it was still a tough evening and felt wasted because I had things I wanted to do, but could only watch tv. The eye was still hurting this morning, so called in for an emergency eye exam. The doctor took one look at my eye through the scope and announce my Recurrent Corneal Adhesions had gotten very bad and my eye was totally irritated. As she put it - I can see bubbles and oozing and several tears in the cornea. They put in a contact lens to keep pressure on the cornea (which has lessened the pain a lot) and I am on numerous eye drops to keep the irritation down and keep it moist and keep infection away. I see the head eye doctor from the Moran Surgical Center on Friday to see if I possibly need to have PRK surgery done on that eye to fix this issue for good. So - to make a long story short - I can't run because of pain and because it might dry out the eye. I will probably just lay around watching tv and reading because that is not too painful. UPDATE! They found the car! Golf clubs are gone, radio torn out and a screwdriver in the ignition. Other than that, it is fine! PM - walked 3.5 miles with the dog. At least I was moving. :(
