I woke up not even sure what day of the week it was. Days and nights filled with eye drops, Tylenol and just trying to be kind of comfortable just form one big endless day.
The worst part of this experience is the pain....not in my eye; there is no pain there. My cheek and forehead had skin torn off when my bandages were removed , and those are the parts of my face that are in constant contact with the face support. My neck is stressed, so it's either heat or cold to try to take the edge off. My elbows also hurt from supporting my upper body, and strangely enough my shins ache from pressure on the massage chair I spend most of my waking hours in.
Sleep comes after I take my midnight drops with Tylenol pm and is a couple hours at a time.
I can get up and walk around occasionally, but I don't do it too much because I am bound and determined to have the best healing possible. That means keeping the gas bubble in my eye firmly pressed against my retina.
I have felt waves of grace and relief when I pray in moments of discomfort and self-pity. the prayers of so many friends and family are felt, appreciated and being answered.
