So, Friday I got up, put in my contacts, lived my life. After the RHPS, I went to the Everready with some people. My right contact started bugging me, but not too much. I got home around 5 and it didn't want to come out. I finally got it out, but my eye still hurt. I figured I'd gotten a piece of glitter or something in it, and tried to wash it out. No dice. Then I tried to sleep. Too much pain for sleep. And it kept getting worse. Around 6:30am Saturday I gave in and woke Sasha, we went to Baldwin, then to the ER. The dr didn't see anything. He flipped my eyelid inside out, which made it feel a little better, so I came home and slept a few hours. But the pain returned, and got worse, and my vision got cloudy and blurry, and I was sitting on my floor, crying hysterically, and couldn't move or talk it hurt so much. By far the most pain I've ever felt. So Sasha and I went back to the ER, where the Dr said I had contact lense cartatis.... ie my contact got stuck to my cornea, who knows why, and irritated it, and now its all inflamed and angry, so he gave me eye drops and a vicoden prescription. So 3 agonizing trips into pharmacies later we found one that was open, and I got tissues and Vicoden. I called back my paniced mother to reaffirm that she didn't need to come get me and went to sleep. 4 hours later, the vicoden wore off, I woke up, left my mom a scared little girl message "Mommy, my eye hurts, and I don't feel good. I want you to come get me. I want to go home." Then more vicoden and back to bed. Rinse and repeat every 4 hours.
Mom picked me up at 9:30am. I slept in the car, got into her bed (which, since I was little, has been the location for sick children) and went back to sleep. This morning I saw the eye doctor, who confirmed what the ER doctor said. The pain and blurryness are much better, but I probably wont be totally well until Thursday or so. If in the last 72 hours I was a giant bitch to you, I appologize pain makes you a nasty person and vicoden puts you in that not quite awake no filter place. House has his reasons. I slept most of Saturday here, all of saturday night here, all of sunday home, all of sunday night home. and then I got back ehre this afetrnoon and napped, and now, back to sleep.
Sleep is the only thing that doesnt hurt. Movement, light, and focusing (ie the nessecary things for work) are the most painful. I can only function for about 15 min at a time. Ow. And I've apparently used that up now. More eyedrops.
PS stupid fucking Christopher, I've had "in my eyes" stuck in my head since this started which is both ironic and infuriating.
