When my dad come up for his initial consult about his corneal transplant, the surgeon discovered an infection in one of his tearducts. He then proceded to stick a needle into the tearduct to help drain it. I was in the room trying not to freak out.

Someone I know is tweeting pictures of himself onstage with Matt Bomer. I don't know how you even with all that pretty around.

YAY GS! That's pretty cute.

My father recently had a lot of vision problems, including months of eye drops and severely impacted ability to see. My mother will freak out when she hears the word "drops" even though my eyesight is almost still 20/20. Right eye is good, but the last set of letters for my left eye looked so much like ANGEL that I gave up on trying to work out what they were and just say A something something something L, which was at least correct.

Thing is, when the right eye tears up, it throws off all my vision. Driving to the pharmacy was not wise. Hopefully I'm in a dry phase when it's time to go to X-Men tomorrow, or I'll be walking or Ubering.

Except, my own meds are at CVS as are a couple of Grace's meds. So I'm unreliable like that.

Pfah. Take care of yourself and your own. You're just my emergency contact I'll never let them call (poor Colin is the other one--why do you all breed?????).

When I have had a scratched cornea, pretty much all of the inability to see straight was due to the tearing action creating a massive saltwater lens on my eye. Which just caused eyestrain and more tears. Cause with that, you either never blink (tears) or just close both eyes and don't see. One eye in that scenario is not an option since the closed eye moves and hurts like fuck.

You might be able to get away with seeing the movie in monovision if keeping it open is problematic but keeping it closed isn't.

I'm glad you got meds, ita.

I am wiped out with getting us ready for a last minute visit to the cousins tomorrow. Seems both kooky and necessary, if that makes sense. But I need to pack or I will be the cause of delay, and I'm not OK with that.

Addendum: I want to see X-Men so much! Will need to find a way to make it happen.

Oh yeah! X-Men this weekend! I just saw Chef, which was excellent, but this could definitely be a two-movie weekend.

I might try to see X-Men tomorrow. Looks like the earliest showing is 11, maybe I can make that work.

Ugh, I just found a tick and now I'm all oogy and hypersensitive to any sensations on my skin. Ick.

You're just my emergency contact I'll never let them call (poor Colin is the other one--why do you all breed?????).

I should be your emergency contact that will be there, so let them call. Given my expertise with hospitals and medical offices I'm happy to be there if I can be of help.

I am not seeing X-men, because I'm only allowed a couple of movies and I'm choosing Maleficent and The Fault in Our Stars.

I just saw an ad for Chef.

I hadn't heard of it before, but it looks interesting. I might give it a try.
