I felt that this week just flew by, without really doing much.

My eyes are really much better and the redness is all but gone. I don’t even have any more bluriness in my eyes and the sensitivity to light is also gone. I have another appointment with the doctor later today, which I hope is the last one.

Something happened to me earlier this week which sort of reinforced my belief that humanity is still alive. I had an event in the middle of the week and then had to go to the hospital pharmacy to pick up a medicine that was out of stock when I last went there. Since I had some heavy things in my hand, I decided to take a taxi. After getting down and queueing up to get the medicine, I realised to my horror, that I didn’t have my phone with me. I was sure I didn’t drop it while walking from where I got off to the pharmacy and quickly went to the information counter to see if there was a phone I could use. There was none there, but the nice lady there offered to call the taxi company (I had taken a receipt which was a good thing as we could identify the driver). Between the lady and the taxi company, they were able to get in touch with the driver who offered to drive back to the hospital with the phone as long as I paid the fare. I agreed immediately and used the same driver to get home too. The time between when we called the taxi company and they confirmed that the phone was still in the car was pure torture! I was wondering how I will manage without a phone and what shall I tell everyone at home. We spend so much time on our phones, it’s only when we lose it, we realise how important it is for us.

Next week should be another boring week with me trying to be on top of things on the home and work front.

Have a wonderful week folks!

Last week, I pretty much spent the week in multiple trips to the hospital. I did mention that I my eyes had become super red and last Monday, I went to see the specialist for the first time. There I learned that what I had was something called oily eyelids or Blephartis. The area around the eyeballs was also swollen.

The opthalmologist started an aggresive treatment with as many as six eye drops at any given time and had to go back to see the doctor three times last week. The result is that I am so much better now. My hypersensitivity to light is almost gone and I feel like I am about 80% ok now. I will need a couple of weeks for the sensitivity to light and the slight blurring to completely go away.

In other news, I kept away from social media and all electronic devices last week and it was so boring. I realised at this point how much we depend on these devices for not just entertainment, but for all our daily needs also.

I now have a full load this week, what with my pending tasks from last week. Plus there is a public holiday in the middle of this week, which makes getting back to track slightly more difficult.

Happy Monday and have a wonderfully productive week!
