Guys. Why does my luck suck so bad lately?
I accidentally poked myself in the eye. It hurt badly, but I just assumed it would go away. Nope. Kept getting worse. My vision was blurred, had a bad headache, light sensitivity, and my eye was just really bothering me. I was having these weird attacks where I wanted to crawl out of my skin and I couldn't stand how it felt and it was painful and I cried and freaked out. I went to the ER. I have a pretty sizeable corneal abrasion in the right eye. Cool. Gonna take a few days to heal. They gave me numbing agent and I'm currently thanking every god that's ever been thought of for this miracle of modern medicine. Oh my f**k.
I don't wanna go to work tomorrow. They prescribed me a narcotic for the pain and told me not to drive... that's a sign I should take a sick day, right?
Oh, and my blood pressure was sky high again.
Now I'm thinking about scheduling that appointment with my primary care doctor I still haven't done...
I'm sorry to hear! Wish you a super fast recovery, of course.
The question is how did it happen, you did it by accident by making a wrong move with the eyes, hands, and so on? Or was it, somthing else.
Whatever it was, I think the eyes are the most gentle and vulnerable part of the body. It's important to remember that.
I suggest instead of getting depressed, whenever I have an accident I think back about what caused it, and how I can prevent it from happening again in the future. That makes me feel a little better sometimes.
Again, wish a fast recovery and please update us on how your eye is recovering.
