dreading tomorrow's eye appointment even though i know i should be grateful.
are you going to get poked in the eye? that is part of my definition of hell.
yup.

but it beats being blind. the trouble is that it utterly exhausts me, the whole process of driving on busy freeways bumper to bumper, finding a parking space in a perpetually crowded facility, waiting in the waiting room and dreading, having the drops put in my eye [stings and makes my vision blurry, and when they do both eyes i am not that far from functionally blind], having bright lights shone into my eyes [OUCH!

], then the shot which feels [despite topical anaesthetic ] feels like a two by four shoved into the lower part of it], at that point i am out of spoons, running on fumes [it rhymes!

] and having to sit in a hot car in the parking lot [tomorrow's gonna be close to 90 again] waiting for my vision to clear up sufficient to drive home. driving over an hour at freeway speeds, with blurry vision, is tough.
sore eyes for the rest of the day. usually fall into bed [in a dark cool room] by the time i get home.
