still sick and now in pain

The insider is still sick. She is not happy about that at all.

Technically, I feel better today than I did yesterday, so here’s to hoping that I feel better tomorrow than I do today. Otherwise the flight is going to be such a nightmare.

My mom made me go to the eye doctor today (I had an appointment and since I only go when I come home…). Anyway, they have these new eyedrops now called Reversal drops that are supposed to reverse the effects of the Dilation drops… well, within one hour as opposed to four to six. The lady told me that they would sting for five minutes, terribly, but then they would be fine.

I swear to god, there was crushed up jalapenos in those damn drops. My eyes burned for about ten minutes, and it wasn’t until I slept for four hours, and then took a shower with the steam in my eyes did the redness go away.

My point here is don’t let them give you the drops. Dilation isn’t that bad at all.

  5. In a shocking turn of events, The Rolling Stones finally released a decent album of music for the first time in nearly twenty years.

  6. Anne.. Oh I hope so.

    Wendy.. I’m not really into the naked women, but I’ll let you know about the tropical fruit. That is, of course, if I don’t die from the sickness.

    G… um.

  9. Brat.
    I probably should be in quarantine. They have no idea what I have, but it’s nasty.

  11. I HAD THE REVERSAL DROPS ONCE AND HAD ONLY SLIGHT DISCOMFORT. i LOVED THEM!!

    But i understand that they’re supposed to hurt because when the eye doctor put the first drops in, she jumped back 3 feet and cowered in the corner like she expected me to punch her or something.

    I did look like I had been smoking something for about 4 hours though
