My Eye
I've had some nagging pain in my right eye for about 3 days now. It technically started before that, but as soon as I took out my contacts it went away. After a few days in these awful glasses, I tried my contacts again. That's when the nagging pain began. I took the contact out two days ago and the pain has only gotten worse. It's been itching/burning/watering and sealed shut when I wake up. I skipped out of work early today to see the eye doctor at the WalMart Vision Center since I know they are open late and cheap. I was hoping for Pink Eye or something easy/simple like that (and something to get me out of work! lol)...
The eye doctor flashed the light in my eye- it watered so bad!- and said "Oh dear! Let me look again..." That didn't sound good. He told me that I have an ulcer in my eye. That means that bacteria permeated through my cornea. Had I waited any longer to see an eye doctor it could have caused permanant blindness in my periphral vision. I have antibiotic eye drops that I have to put in my eye every 2 hours and an anti inflamatory every 4 hours. I'm hoping to not be quite so miserable in 24 hours or so. A follow up appointment tomorrow and Saturday. UGH!
The great thing about going to WalMart for this is, I only paid a one time office visit fee of $29 and my follow up care is included. My prescriptions only cost me $12. This is my YAY Tricaremoment because they would have cost me $94 without insurance.
I still have to go to work tomorrow since my eye junk isn't contagious. But I'm going to try to avoid light. It hurts soooooo bad!!!
I need prayers for quick healing!!! I'm miserable.Thanks ladies!

I've only put the antibiotics in 3 times... I'm hoping for good news at my follow up today!
