Man, its good to have my left eye back. Apparently, there was enough inflammation that the eye doctor was concerned I had an autoimmune condition or systemic infections. I think the eye was just an over-achiever. After 24 hours on steroid drops, I could see fine out of it. I was, I admit, a liiiitttle concerned when she said, “come back Tuesday, but if you experience any excruciating pain between now (Saturday) and Tuesday, call these people.” Thankfully, at no point did my eye feel as if it were being crucified. So, I learned two things (1) you can go into pretty much any eye-glass place in the world and get your eye looked at (really wish I had known that Wednesday) and (2) if you can’t see anything but a giant blur out of your eye (and that’s not normal) you should go find a corner optometrist and have them give you steroid drops.
Oh, and I guess, (3) after two days on steroid drops your eye goes from swollen to swole (sorry, couldn’t help it, I blame the drugs)
Salon swings its Republican coverage from idiot morons to evil geniuses.
Florida Man visits England? I understand why they want to come at the guy from above, but I figure double clipping on nylon harnesses (standard climbing gear in any American plant) could have gotten the guy in less than six hours. Worst case, the guy freaks out and takes the long ride with the fast stop alone. Maybe dart him from the helicopter and then climb to get him.
…And then the Monkey Buddha said unto her, “Go unto the surrounding lands and gather a mustard seed from each house that has not experienced loss, if you can gather a handful, I shall restore your child.” After speculating on a real possibility of substantial vision loss in my eye, I am philosophical.
Who was this guy? Dribble?
