BLOG101705

Okay, what is it with my body? Here I am, sitting, getting ready to update my blog (I can't believe it's been a
month already), and LJ and I put some eyedrops in that I have to put in every day, three times a day...

…and Ed comes up to me go give me a kiss and says, "Sweetheart! Your eye is all bloody!"

Now, remember, I have this thing about eyeballs and brains. Both are...things with me. Ickinesses. Is that a
word? I don't think so. It should be.

So I try to remain calm and go to look at my eye in the bathroom mirror.

And this greets me.

Ummmm, okay. Do not freak. Do not freak.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

I called the Dr, they calmed my nerves, saying it's pretty common, happens all the time when stresses are put
onto the eye like coughing, sneezing, barfing…etc. She said it's a "something something hematoma" and will
dissipate the same way a bruise does. The only problem is that we can't think of anything I did today except
put in my eyedrops.

So, I've an appointment set up for tomorrow. The Dr is not in today but the nurse I spoke to--who I trust a
great deal--was very calming and nice about the whole thing. *whew* Now I need to sit down, breathe deep
and slow. Calm. Everything is oookaaaay. Sheesh. I'm such a wimp.

Okay. So. I was going to update. It's going to be rather long - a bit of rambling...

Let's see, before I get to the plethora of photos, I finally got my foot surgery date!! November 3rd. Shortly
after the end of Hobb's Grove! Looks like I'll be definitely doing my holiday shopping all on-line at this rate.
From what I understand, I'm going to have pins in my foot for a short while. Icky and painful, I think. We'll
see. At least afterward my foot will be straightened out back to what it was and hopefully I'll be able to wear
girlie shoes once in a while. I *like* those high heeled shoes and boots, personally. I think they're sexy. Not
for jogging, mind you...*grin*.
