Quick Update on My Eye Injury

if you follow me, you know that I accidentally poked my eyeball yesterday with my fingernail and spent the day in pain from it. The pain did not let up until right after 10 pm last night. I ended up staying up last night until almost 6 am. When I finally got out of bed around noon today, my eye felt much better. It still feels a big odd and sort of like it may be swollen a bit. I'm going to see how it feels tomorrow but I am so glad the pain is not back with me today. Thanks to all who have been asking me today how my eye was. I appreciate your thoughts of me.

It was just one, although @DaddyEvil said he wanted to poke my other eye to make me forget the misery with the other one. Doesn't that sound mean??

@kareng Hahaha...you don't have to worry too much about @DaddyEvil's words. Because he is a person who likes to joke, and likes to tease friends in MyLot.

Sorry to hear about your eye. Drink some natural carrot juice and you will be back to normal in no time.

When I scratched my eye with a fingernail, it wasn't quite as painful. But, it was swollen and had to heal up. I'm glad your pain is gone and your eye is doing a lot better today!

I am so sorry, I missed your post, poking our eye with the fingernail can be very dangerous. I hope you are fine.

The first day was the worst and painful, but it has been getting better each day. Today I just feel a slight swelling.

@kareng Did you check if you can see clearly? If not go to see your eye doctor.

You could have stopped by. I would have poked the other eye for you so you forget how painful the first eye was feeling.

@DaddyEvil I think most already know you are not innocent. Thats not much help. Stepping on her foot would be better.

@kareng Thank you for your post on your eye and answering me when I asked about it. I hope the swelling goes down. If it doesn't will you see an eye doctor or your own doctor?

I am always behind and having to catch up on mylot...I'm sorry to hear this. I had my cornea burned by a burning stick that blew out of a fire once, the pain was terrible and I can surely sympathize. It took forever to heal, had to wear a patch, on and on it went for weeks. I am glad it feels better than it did, hope it heals quickly.

@kareng I had one surgery to repair damage. I have a tear in my tear duct on that side from the accident. It took so long to heal that they never repaired the tear duct, so it doesn't always function quite right, sometimes that eye will water for no reason, but most of the time it's OK.
