Why My Eye?
I have had an eye problem for going on 10 months now. In the process of trying to fix it, I have seen 5 doctors (3 ophthalmologists) and been to 7 doctor's appointments, with another one scheduled for next Friday. I have been on a plan of putting in eyedrops 7 times a day (2 different types), as well as taking a pill 2 times a day to lower the inflammation in my lids and cleansing my lids once a day. Its not working. Well, to be fair, my eyes get better for a certain period of time, not all the way white, but a livable white, and then they revolt and have what I not so fondly call an episode. An episode involves a swollen eye that is bright red, with the lining of the eye super red, and some nice discharge that comes out every now and then. Its quite beautiful. And while all those doctors can tell me what is wrong with my eye, none of them have been able to tell me what is causing the problem or find a way to stop it from happening again. And I'm so beyond sick of it (pun intended). I've emailed my latest ophthalmologist to see if he wants me to come in earlier than my next scheduled appointment, but that doesn't help me today. And today is the freaking 4th of July, the birthday of free America, and I'm just pissed. I have friends coming over, and I know I am going to be super self-conscious all day. So thanks eye, for ruining my day and America's birthday. You really know how to kill a good time. Sigh.
