Eye Update - Improvement!

My visit with the eye doctor yesterday morning went quite well!  He was happy to see that the irritation & inflammation was subsiding.  I am to continue the dilation/antibacterial drops 4 times/day but now have the steroid drops to add to the regimen.  I have another appointment to see him next Wednesday.

I had to continue to keep the eye closed yesterday, but today I am allowed to be a two-eyed person again   : )

The eye is still rather painful, & my vision with it is not very good.  I'm somewhat concerned about the vision.  Hopefully that will return to normal in due time.  If not, I may have to get a new glasses prescription.

Thank you all so much for your prayers!  Please keep at 'em, if you don't mind   : )

This is such good news! I'm glad to hear there's progress, and I'm sure you are overjoyed!!! It seems that I have heard that our eyes heal rather quickly, so maybe this whole ordeal will be behind you soon.
I continue to hold you in my thoughts and prayers.
**I'm also glad you can open the eye and not look like you're in a constant wink!!! ;-)

OK whew. Glad to read some good news about your injury. Sounds like you have quite a regimen to follow with all the different drops. I hope some of those drops soothe your pain and scratchy feeling you mentioned in the previous post. Continuing to pray and think healing thoughts about you! Kevin
