So I finally went to the ophthalmologist yesterday. I even kept my appt, which in itself is a miracle. I had to call Kristylyn to find out the phone number because I was in a building of doctors. It turns out that the dude that I thought I was seeing sold his practice to a chick. Anywho.
So I got there and I waited for a while but I finally got in to see the chick. She had me tell her what was up and I told her what I thought it was, and how I knew that wasn't right. So she made me read the chart. She was like ok what can you read. My right eye, which is nearly perfect was fantastic. However, my left eye where this is an astigmatism was not so hot. So she was like you're too young to see that badly, something is going on. So she looked at my eyes.
The right eye had the problem that she thought it did. However the left eye has a scar that is beginning to form down it, which is impairing my vision. She said the words "I am really concerned" about 4 or 5 times. Then she gave me her cell phone cause she was worried about my eyes. I was like I won't bother you unless it's an emergency. But something she did say was that I should consider lasik, which I was already doing. She said that she does it out of a place that is near my house. I talked with my mom and she thinks that maybe because it's medically neccesary that I can get this eye paid for by insurance. We'll see what she says for our recheck.
She gave me drops which I have to put in my eyes every 3 hours. She also gave me ointment for the eye. If you've never put ointment in your eye it's an experience let me tell you. You put it on the lower inside lid and roll it all around. This makes your vision cloudy but it feels good, like they're all moist and stuff.
I have to go back on Tuesday, and she said that there is a chance that my eyes might get worse. If the infection is of another strain. She spent about 10 minutes looking at the eye... so I am concerned. Especially with her giving me her cell phone. I also didn't realize how poorly I was seeing out of my left eye.
I have a fantastic weekend lined up. Saturday is SB & Kristyln's day of fun. Sunday I going hiking with the divorced dad with a dog, let's call him DM. We were flirting over im yesterday, and its fun. We'll see what happens. I also did talk with another dude who we'll call Boston Lawyer. He and I have a date set up for next Friday, which is the day I get my hair done. Whoo. haha
It's the little things in life that keep you going. At the very least, I can enjoy my summer and wherever life takes me.
I think my diet is really working because I already feel like my jeans fit me better. Weigh in is on Tuesday so I will keep you posted on the progress!
Happy Friday.
Did you yourself damage your eye? Gosh, I hope you get that fixed really soon and I hope your insurance will cover lasik.
