Goings on

Last Friday the wife came home complaining of discomfort like there was something lodged under her contact lens. We flushed her eye out and I put some silver drops in it in case it was infected. The drops helped for a while but after a couple hours her eye was swollen shut and she was in tremendous pain.

Luckily the eye doctor she uses was open early on Saturday so I took her in, by this time she couldn't see out of the eye at all. The doc found two large ulcers on her cornea cause by some infection. We got some eye drops and the doctor arranged two more appointments through the memorial day weekend on his own time.

So every hour on the hour I put two sets of drops in her left eye. Gradually her vision came back but she couldn't read or drive. Now we are using steroid drops to take down the swelling and prevent scarring.

Luckily by Monday she was well enough that she could go to the family barbecue. I just brought my signature salad and some bratwurst. I had to skip the beer unfortunately but it was still a good get together and the kids got to go swimming.

Tuesday the wife sneaked off to work before I woke up even though she still couldn't see. I was pissed. Thankfully, her co-workers sent her home but she still shouldn't have been driving. I'm happy to say she is almost back to normal.
