Poked in the Eye
A funny thing happened to me last evening. I was doing stuff on my lappy and noticed Rebecca was having that “pooping” face. Just to be sure I would usually sniff her diaper (ok TMI I know …). I guess my eye was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and just as I was lowering my face she swung her arm up and the next thing I knew I was feeling a sharp pain in my left eye. It just started tearing uncontrollably. I thought the pain would go away after a few minutes, but it didn’t. I had trouble keeping my eye open. D wanted me to go see a doctor, but I told him it should be ok by morning.
Wrong. This morning when I woke up, the eye was swollen and the insides red. The pain was still there, and tears as well. I could bearly keep my eye open. Ok I give in, and made an appointment with an optometrist. D drove me to the Doc’s, and after a closer inspection, she told me that yes there is a scratch on the surface of my eyeball. Great. So she sent me off with antibiotic ointment and I had to go back on Monday for a follow-up, just to make sure the scar heals properly. Thank God its the weekend!
So here I am, sitting around, with blurred vision caused by the cream, and still feeling a slight pain in my eye. My little girl is one strong lady. I know better than to mess with her now!

[…] do as much skating as I wanted to this week, because of my eye (which was attacked by Rebecca, see previous post), I was putting on the ointment and couldn’t see very well. I also got a call from my friend […]
