Trouble right here in River City
January 27, 2010
I’m told that’s called an “ear wig.” You know, when you start a song that promptly embeds itself in the brains of everyone who hears (or reads) it. I’ve never been to River City and I say “IoWA” instead of “IoWAY,” but I have had trouble and that starts with ‘T’ and that rhymes with ‘C’ and that stands for COMPUTER!
‘T’ also rhymes with ‘V’ and that stands for VISION.
Both my corneas are infected — which means lots of headaches, blurred vision and very painful steroid/antibiotic eye drops (four times a day!) — and my computer is giving me trouble — which means scattered internet, a slow processor and silence on my blog.
While I get all this straightened out, feel free to drop by my Bookshelf (both HERE and HERE). I didn’t quite meet my goal of 50 books in 2009 (probably because I started twice as many books as I finished), but the list is there along with a new list for 2010. You may also want to check out CCBR. We always have new reviews there. We also did a special feature last week on cookbooks for kids.

Chickie, I don’t know how one gets infected corneas, but it sounds simply AWFUL. Hoping you’re on the mend and wondering if your eyesight is bad enough that you won’t see me type that I am behind on my Bible reading plan.

I don’t know how I got it! Neither does the optometrist. It’s a mystery.
I went back to the doc this morning.
BAD NEWS: The infection is still there and may have permanently damaged eyesight in my left eye.
GOOD NEWS: It’s getting better. My vision (with glasses) is now 20/35 which is way better than the 20/70 I had last week.

Contact wearer?
Sorry about your eyes! And your computer! And your earwig!

Used to be. I haven’t worn contacts regularly since staying home (6 years). I only wear them for special occasions — and not at all since this started a couple weeks ago.
