Me vs my eyes

[gja1000]

Lindsey, you've been working so much, I wonder if your eyes are over-strained.

Maybe that could be it Gayle. The optometrist said she was surprised that I felt it suddenly because normally this issue progresses over time. I have been thinking about it tonight and I have been getting headaches a LOT lately, and they are always from behind my eyes. I am sure I've had a headache every day since I've been back to work after our honeymoon. I just figured it was eye strain from work and sinus problems with the cold I'm just getting over. But maybe it's been going on for longer and I just didn't realize it.

Good thing that you went to the eye doctor!! Our eyes are so important!! Now you have a reason not to work overtime!! "Sorry, but my eyes are so stressed now that my eye doctor recommended that I not work overtime!!" Works for me!!

[Lindsey]

The eye doctor did say I shouldn't look at a computer screen for more than a couple hours at a time for the next day or so until the eye drops work enough to take away some discomfort. So when I got back to the office yesterday I asked if there might be enough work to keep me busy all day at home, and there isn't really. So I brought my laptop home and I'm basically on standby... when someone emails me work, I'll do it. In the meantime, I'll use sick time and rest my eyes.

That would have been so scary Lindsey. So glad you didn't wait any longer to see a Dr. Our eyes are so important that whenever an issue of any kind comes up we need to get it checked out. Take care of yourself.

So I went back today for a re-check and both eyes have cleared up completely, and there is no trace of scar tissue left behind. Thank goodness!!!! I just had to wear glasses for the rest of today and let the steroids get out of my system, and then I can wear contacts again tomorrow.

I have to admit I'm kind of getting used to looking smart in my glasses though. Late last week I walked into the Guess store with my glasses and work clothes and they were all over me asking what I'm shopping for and if I need help with anything.... funny because I have the same amount of money when I shop in jeans and a t-shirt but I don't even get a hello! Lol.

I'm glad to hear that your eyes are better. Maybe you should wear your glasses once in a while so your eyes don't get as strained......besides you obviously get more attention when you wear them too!!! Cool!!!!
