I really wanted to post about something specific tonight, so much so, that I thought about it for hours in bed while I couldn’t sleep last night. However, today has been a crazy busy day and being sleep deprived and my eyes giving me grief, I am limiting myself to this few uninteresting lines of blurry dribble.
Tomorrow is a new day.
My eyes just need to keep healing.
I want to be able to see somewhat normally again.
That is all.
My to-do list from last Monday is still sadly open and unfinished. Life decided to throw me a curve ball, as usual. My eyes decided to get worse throughout the week, prompting a call to my neurologist on Wednesday which ended up getting me on a 5 day course of IV steroids. I had to drive downtown on Thursday evening to the infusion center, go to the hospital on Friday, get a home health care nurse to come out on Saturday and Sunday, and I had one more hospital visit today. Needless to say, we decided to postpone my youngest’s official 5th birthday party so that I could get all this stuff taken care of. The highlight of all of this was my ability on Saturday to see well enough to take my kiddos to the movies.
Right now I am still struggling with the vision in my right eye. It’s actually taken quite a while to write this post – thank goodness for spell check! The left eye seems to have gotten a bit better. Now we just wait to see what magic my medication will have performed *fingers crossed* Hopefully, I’ll be able to relax a bit tonight after the boys go to bed and let my body start to really heal.
As I wrote yesterday, stress has consumed my life so much in the past two days that today I am paying for it badly.
My eyesight has suffered horribly for it. I am seeing blurry and patchy and my right eye is really bad. At least my laptop has a cool thing on it where I can enlarge all the fonts on these pages with one click of my touch pad.
I had to own up to my eye issues and call my neurologist who immediately gave me my verdict of…
5 days of IV steroids
This has put a little huge dent in my plans this weekend. My youngest’s party which was supposed to be going on this Saturday afternoon, but is currently postponed until April. I just physically cannot make this party work in two days especially if I can’t see well and am on heavy steroids. Plus I don’t want to have a nurse come out to the house and infuse me in the middle of my son’s birthday party.
I am so ready to be feeling normal and stable. Stable is a word that means the world to me right now. Let’s hope 5 days of IV steroids will work their magic on me.
*fingers crossed*
