My cold lasted longer than expected because within a week I had developed a nasty cough that has taken forever to completely go away. Okay, it’s not absolutely gone but barely noticeable anymore. I thought it was gone at one point, then 2 days later it was like it started all over again. I ended back on the cough syrup.

Last night I wore my contacts for the first time in nearly a year. Not a problem wearing them!! If you’ve been following this blog, you already know that Dr. Opth was worried there might be too much scar tissue that would prevent my contacts from fitting properly. In a certain light I can see the slightly rough surface he’s talking about but it must either be outside the range of my contacts or not rough enough to bother them. Yea!

I also wore them again today for a lunch meeting. Again, no problem. Well, one little problem … the watering eye. Today my eye watered enough that it got my upper eyelashes wet and I found myself blotting off some of my mascara.

I meet again with Dr. Opth next week so I’ll see if he has any ideas about why this has begun … and how to stop it. Of course, the irony is that Dr. Opth’s been worried that my eye would be drier than before due to what was removed during the surgeries. Definitely not a problem lately! ha!
