Eye Carumba

[fuzzygruf]

Went to the other eye doctor this afternoon. He alternated between saying "That's really bad" and "That's not so bad." He put me on display for another doctor. I uttered, "Oh! Show and tell!" They laughed. They were amazed that I wasn't writhing more in pain. I let them know that the Vicodin was working. They were still surprised. I've listened to Steve tell a joke 83 times in a row. I can handle pain.

He put all kinds of dyes in my eye again. One was a really deep greenish blue. He had me look in the mirror. "Mardis Gras," he said. Very pretty. I'll have to see him again before Halloween.

He thinks things will heal okay. He patched up the eye and will see me again tomorrow morning at 7:45am.

Gary, you make me laugh and I'm really not laughing at your pain.

Arrrrr! Shiver me Timbers!

But seriously I hope your eye heals nicely and that the pain goes away. Those OTC nail fungus drops don't work. They're sold as supplements to get around the FDA approval process. My doctor in NYC told me more than a few times that the clotrimazole solution, the stuff that's sold as Lotrimin drops in the tiny clearish plastic bottles, sometimes removes tail fungus if applied for about a year once a day, using an emory board to make the infected nail as thin as possible so the clotrimazole can seep down to the nail bed.

Oddly enough, though... the eye patch works for you...

It's all pirate-sexy...

I hope the healing process goes well and fast. Take care and I glad the vicodin helps.

You should like take a colored pen to the anti fungal bottle so it doesn't happen again. make it a different color how about Mardis Gras?

BTW... is that an eye patch or a maxi pad. hard to tell in the picture (ducking)

Since I was at the motel, my stuff was all in the overnight kit. At home, the medicines are in different places. I'm so nearsighted that different colors wouldn't work for me. Someone suggested putting rubberbands on them, too.

Now I've got to go to In-Jean-ious on Castro tomorrow to see if they have any more of those "Butte Pirates" t-shirts. Thanks for the idea!

So that was you I saw walking along the 2nd floor of the whortel. I thought it was some similar bear wearing an eye-patch, so that is why I had that confused look on my face when you were staring down at me with your one good eye.

Get well, soon, fuzzy McPatches.

At least you still have some sense of humor. Good luck and heal fast!

Hugs and cuddles of healing to you fuzzywuzzy....

I have to admit that the "Mardi Gras" bit had me laugh...

One of the best things for healing? L A U G H T E R

It helps the body!

Laugh it up mate!

OK, tell the truth... what REALLY got in your eye that burned that much? See what happens when you go to those all-night Crisco parties without a chaperone?

LOL.

OK, so I'm horribly unorthodox. That's just my way to try and shed some humor on what otherwise is a really horrid situation. I'm sorry that you are going through this. It sucks. But it'll be over soon. Hang in there!
