4/21/09 … EOD a Pain

Believe it or not, trying to remember to put one eyedrop in every other day is a real pain! Even leaving the bottle on the kitchen counter only means I think about it daily and try to remember if I need to do it or if I did it yesterday. I was trying to remember to do it on even-numbered days because that’s when I started but then got messed up when I forgot one morning. My schedule’s not perfect but it’s working fairly well. However, this was somehow easier to do when I had a more frequent schedule.

4/1/09 … Free to See

Had my normal 6-week follow-up with Dr. Opth today. My eye’s been feeling fine but I have noticed that it still has a tendency to be a little red if I peek under the lower eyelid or upper. A little testing makes me think the level of redness is related to the amount of time I’m on the computer!

Although I’m still not free of the drops … continuing daily for a couple of more weeks, then every other day … I finally got the okay to try wearing my contact lenses again. Yea! Of course, one little problem. I was visiting relatives in Nebraska last weekend and now have a cold. Since I was back a couple of days prior to noticing the cold, I don’t know if one thing has to do with the other and it really doesn’t matter. So, no contacts until I’m past this cold.
