Things have been going really well since I last wrote. Yesterday I even left the house to take Magnus for a walk in the park. In very large sunglasses in the drizzle and spending a lot of the 20 minutes covering my eye with my hand, but still I was out! Once I got back I was really tired and so I had a nap for a couple of hours and then I was pretty exhausted for the rest of the evening and also feeling very emotional but I guess that is just everything catching up with me and the stress about the op coming up has probably caught up with me.
I had a good nights sleep last night and Rich woke me up again for my drops at 8am….I don’t think I have ever slept quite as much as I have done the last few days, but I’ve decided to relax and go with it.
Today the vision in my eye seemed even less clouded and blurred which is amazing. I also had less pain and the eye just feels is a little uncomfortable more than anything else. Pretty much like it did when I had left my lenses in for too long and my eyes were tired. It was sunnier this morning so I’ve been wearing my sunglasses inside but the curtains were open. I’ve been out in the garden with the dogs and Rich’s Mum came for Sunday lunch which was really nice and although I was really tired I’ve managed to get through the whole afternoon without a nap….I am definitely making progress! Oo, other exciting news (although not in normal circumstances!) was that I washed my hair – it was getting desperate and I feel so much better now!
I’ve been putting in the anti-rejection drugs every 2 hours and the antibacterial every 4 hours but Rich does keep reminding me – he’s going back to work tomorrow so I’m going to set the alarm on my phone so I don’t forget
I have my follow up with Mr Larkin on Tuesday afternoon in London and hopefully he’ll be happy with what he sees. I’m really positive about it and I don’t think I could hope for it to be any better, it really is amazing how quickly things have been getting better. When I think it’s only 4 nights ago that I had the op and now I am here in no pain I feel really very lucky.
