I Aten't Dead

[rikibeth]

...but I got nudges from a couple of folks recently, so I thought I'd post to say so.

What happened was, basically, December. It started out well enough, going to celebrate cluegirl's birthday with her at Alien Nation's closing night, and then there was Obligatory Family Visit #1, wherein we all had a Very Red Sox Hanukkah, and then Holiday Cookie Rush hit, and snow, and stuff, and then Obligatory Family Visit #2, which culminated in me driving home from New Jersey with a raging case of iritis, which at the time I thought was conjunctivitis. Which led to me sitting home over New Year's putting drops in my eyes every hour and re-reading the Little House books because they were the only thing in the house with print big enough for me to focus on with my eyes dilated.

I'm slowly getting back to normal, although I still have the font size cranked on my monitor here.

Happy New Year, everyone.

IRITIS, Jesus, no fucking fun at all -- I'm really sorry. But aww, Little House books. Those are great comfort food rereads.

Yuck!!

And, I should really find out where all my Little House books are.

Oh, that sounds miserable!! I'm glad that your eyes are improving . . . please take it easy, your eyesight is priceless! :/

*huge hugs*

(Yes, I read my friends page backwards, does it show? LOL!)

I am, indeed, taking it easy, and am just glad they're tapering off the prednisone drops -- you have experience with prednisone, yes? Are you familiar with the Industrial Strength Nightmares?

Seriously, Hollywood horror writers ought to consider it a script aid.

FWIW, I have a massive Eye Trauma Squick, so the eye (dammit, IDEA, I seriously started to type "eyedea") idea of having to put ANYTHING into my eyes is an Industrial Strength Nightmare. *eeeegh!*

Prednisone just makes me nauseous, I'm sorry that you're having additional side effects ;___;

I hope you'll be all better soon. I have a large print Charlotte's Web if you still need something...

Happy New Year to you, also.

So it WAS more than just pinkeye! I take it the pain continued and you were smart enough to go for help? Man, I'm so sorry you had to go through all that!

I'm glad to hear your eye is getting better, though I'm sorry to hear you had problems with it.

Best wishes for the new year!!

Is your title, perhaps, a very small Pratchett reference? :-D
