Eyes are important

Sorry, everyone, I was down for the count the whole holiday weekend with iritis. I went to urgent care after taking my mom to the hair salon. The sunlight felt like razor swords piercing my eye. My whole head throbbed, and even my darkest sunglasses didn't help. On the way home from the salon, I lifted my sunglasses and asked my mom if my eye was red. She looked, then quickly turned away and screamed.

I turned to get a second opinion from Joe. He said, "Eww, Mom, you look like the Walking Dead."

Yeah, it was that bad. I'm not going to post a picture. I showed it to Jamie, who proceeded to zoom in to find the cause. But really, it's too gross for the general population. So tomorrow, exactly one week before my new insurance goes into effect, I need to see an ophthalmologist I can't afford to see if the infection extends into the cornea. My vision in that eye is extremely blurry, and iritis is serious enough to blind you if untreated.

So, I spent my weekend holed up in my dark room, watching movies with Monet and two cats, which was actually enjoyable. :)

Tomorrow I want to blog about ambiguity.
