Vision

Since the beginning of the school year, I have had

some seasonal allergies that settled in my eyes.

You know, the itchy, red, blurry, and scratchy eyes

that look probably worse than they really are.

For the first few weeks at school I dealt with it 

and occasionally put in some rewetting drops to help.

Well, about 2 weeks ago it was getting pretty bad

that I decided to just go in.

Sure enough, my corneas were pretty scratched and irritated

so the eye Dr. prescribed a drop that is safe for 

nursing mothers like myself.

I gave that about a week and it just didn't cut it.

The Dr. decided to prescribe a steroid that

*could* diminish milk supply, but I was game

to try it anyway since I was pretty miserable.

Yes, that did work! Yay! 

It was like instant relief for my eyes

and no effect on this nursing mom - double yay!

After I stopped all the drops, I noticed last week

that my vision was getting REALLY blurry!

I thought it was just my contacts, so I switched

and then put on my glasses but it was the same problem!

So, I called in two days ago and he recommended

that I just use some other drops again - okay will do!

But now the last couple of days have been HORRIBLE!

I'm talking...

Like can't even read the computer unless it

is three inches from my face!

Like can't read street signs. At. All!

Like can't identify students from a distance.

Like shouldn't probably even be teaching!

I called back and said this is NOT GOOD!

From what started as a small allergy has turned 

into something ridiculous!

I go in today and he was SHOCKED at how much

I couldn't SEE AT ALL!

He tried to bump up my prescription but that was worthless.

It appears that there is a very think layer 

of scum and nast over my eyes that is hindering my vision big time!

So,  he gives me yet some more drops to try solid

for the next two days, like put in every thirty minutes

kind of drops and see if that helps.

If it doesn't, I will need to get on an antibiotic!

Good grief! What an outfit!

The Dr. made a comment that I must be pretty tolerant...

well as a teacher and mother of two young ones, ya,

I guess that fits :)

I'll keep you updated!

Sorry if there are lots of typos...I can't read it clearly :) LOL!
