ARRR!!!

So last saturday I had an optometrist appointment because I've been having blurry vision in my right eye. It turns out I have an infection and some irritation and swelling that was causing the vision change. Since it was minor and can heal on its own, the doctor wanted me to stay off my contacts and only wear my glasses. The problem was, my prescription for my glasses actually makes me see worse than the contacts. As the result of that, I was feeling nauseous and getting headaches.

I felt aweful on Sunday while watching tv, but since I had morning sickness before I wasn't sure if it was that or the vision. It wasn't until I got to work on Monday morning, when I realized I wasn't able to work. I couldn't see the monitor clearly or read anything up close. It was very frustrating and I had no choice but to go home.

I left work on a mission to buy an eye patch. You'd think it'd be an easy thing to find...but I went to CVS, Walgreens, and Ralphs, and none of them carry it. Chris went to the Walgreens near him and had no luck either.



Finally I found it at Rite Aid, and tried it out at home with a contact lens in the "good eye". After a few hours of straining the left eye. I just gave up and closed both eyes. I called work to let them know I won't be in for the week so the eye can heal. And I have another optometrist appointment on Saturday that I hope to get a new prescription and permission to wear my contacts again.

So for the last few days I've been resting with my eye patch, cleaning the house, taking walks, and doing yoga. I squeezed in a dentist appointment, a hair cut, and deep conditioned my hair.

I am looking forward to going back to work. My coworker Ann emailed me and told me the pieces I designed for the movie Step Up 2 at the Burbank Airport was a big hit at a meeting with the Chairman of the Walt Disney Studios! Also how much they miss me at work. My friend Steve said they don't know when to take lunch anymore since I was always the one who gathers the group to have lunch at 12:30. That's because I just love to eat and I'm always hungry! : )





As uncomfortable as it was to not be able to do the normal stuff, I was happy to be off the tv and computer for a while. The relaxation was also good for the baby.
