Pain update

I have had little stabbing incidents since last Wednesday.  Not too bad.  It isn't sustained which I appreciate.  My operated eye has been more sore lately mostly at night. Just the Sup. Obliq.  And it is dry esp. in the morning and at night.  So, it's not bad at all. I don't care for the stabbing pains but they don't last too long.  It just startles me.
It's been about 10 days since I found this letter from "egghead" It's stirring up crap again! I immediately questioned myself, my memories. I was trying to blame myself again! Why?  I was doing so good with that dumb subject.  I'm just confused.  I still have feelings about that subject I don't want to have 'feelings' about it.  I just feel a little sad about it.  I must be a little angry too as I call him 'egghead'  UGh.  too much psychology in this  last surgery.

"Greta in Wonderland"

I did the $11.75 eye test.  I went to see 'Alice in Wonderland' - just got home.  It was so much fun.
I had been reading about 3D movies, and got to thinking of when I was kid around 10 and Kari and I went to see some 3D movie.  I didn't remember anything but red and blue (the glasses) and the I remember the song during the credits was by Louis Armstrong ( I think that's his name) the song was 'It's a wonderful world'
So I went to 'see' if I could see the 3D after my surgery.   It was so fun. So fun.  Now, could I see it because of my surgery? Or because technology has come so far, I don't know.  But whatever the reason I saw it this time and not years ago,  it was fun.  I smiled as big as the Cheshire cat in the film the entire movie.  Appreciating my sight.  Eyes and the ability to see such vivid pictures and colors all in single vision is a gift, a blessing and I sort of wish that everyone could acutely appreciate their vision the way I do mine. It's a great way to walk around feeling this keenly aware.  Little intense at times, but still a good way to 'see' things.  You know your health problems can be one of your biggest blessings.  They can help you really live, consciously.
Now I'm going to bring my 3D glasses to Ginny and see if I can see the Ran Dot tests with them.  Exciting huh?  Just for the sake of documenting how my eyes were, I could feel them working. It was uncomfortable at first like the first 20 min. or so then I got used to it.  I did find my self holding my head funny.  But even when I tilted to the right I could still see good. My surgical eye does smart right now - superior oblique. It was worth it! That's all.

and we're back

Yes, it's back. Left eye pain.
After yesterday's stabbing pain it didn't feel bad til I went to bed. Then I realized it was quite bad.  I left my Frankincense at work so it was not a help to me.  I was too tired to get up and go take meds.  I had hoped I could sleep it off.  I succeeded but then it came back around 4p.m. today. It was back with a vengeance, even stung on the inside corner of my nose and became a whole headache thing. Took 3 ibuprofen and my Frankincense, It does cut it but not cut it out completely today. It's actually quite strong.  I am very tired, I don't know if that has anything to do with it. I just have a fear that if I don't get rid of this pain by the next time I see the Doc. he's going to want to inject something into that muscle.  I would rather eat shards of glass.

Friday - 3/26/10 -still had the pain this morning.  It's just so disappointing! I understand when I dislocate, I understand when my heart goes out of rhythm, I just don't understand any more why this left eye is so rude! The right eye - I would understand.  This pain is is is is SUCH A PAIN!

Iridescence again...

I asked the four other people I was with today if they saw iridescent very often as I saw just a little glimmer of iridescent. They each immediately were like, "yes! all the time!" There was a variety of ages, all women, age 34, 47,69,and 29.  I think they see more iridescent colors than I ever did.  Why do I find this intriguing?
Also, I had stabbing eye pain for just a brief period (maybe 5 minutes) in the left non operated eye.  It was enough to stop me in my tracks and it made me loose my train of thought in the conversation I was having. I haven't had strong pain like that for maybe a couple weeks.  Why?
Now it's okay. My right eye is very dry today. But I was out in my volunteer work walking blocks and it was kind of windy. So I just put my 'refresh' in my eyes.
