Ouch
My left contact lens has been irritating a bit the last few days.
Today it was a lot worse, so I got an emergency appointment with the optician.
Ouch.
Ulcerated cornea.
Can’t wear my contact lenses for at least a week. I can’t see well enough out of my glasses to drive. Getting to and from work shouldn’t be too much of a problem, as I can get a lift with someone I am sure.
However, I was supposed to be visiting friends this weekend. It’s her birthday, and she’s having a small birthday-come-house-warming party. It’s 120 miles away. It wouldn’t be so bad if I hadn’t dropped out of her 30th birthday party bash last year, when I got shingles. She will think I am avoiding her.
It will also mean no exercise classes next week. This is the bit I have been dreading. When I haven’t been for a few days, it’s going to be oh so easy to not go again when I am tired/not feeling up to it/just can’t be bothered. Still, the woman who runs the pilates class I went to on Tuesday night also runs one round the corner from here on a Monday night. I can go to that.
Work is going to be bad for the next week. Not wearing my lenses, and staring at a screen all day is going to cause me big headaches. Mind you, the pain in my eye has been giving me a headache today, so it’s not that a big a difference I suppose.
