Sick Day

I took a sick day today because of my left eye. I woke up with it feeling irritated. I was sensitive to light. I tried wearing my glasses. That just made both my eyes feel bad. I tried a fresh pair of contacts. No dice. Then I called my optometrist and his office agreed to "work me in" today.

Dave took Annie to her PT session and I went the other way to my eye doctor's. He suspected I might have a viral infection that's been going around. Turns out that I have a bacterial infection of the cornea [who knows how that happened] and it was "ulcerated." I had the same thing on the other eye in 2004. He prescribed the same medicine [$50 co-pay!--better yet: $50 no-pay!] and I'm hoping that it turns around in time for me to go to work tomorrow. The light sensitivity was really pronounced. I was feeling like a vampire.

Dave reported that Annie's PT went well. Dave told Ashley that Annie's been slipping out of her leg sometimes. She put Annie in the ortho equivalent of Spanx and bikepants and Annie did much better. We're looking into getting her some similar equipment for everyday wear. I guess it's like walking around with your shoe off. You can do it, but it's frustrating.
