What a pain in the............

eye.
I woke early this morning with something in my eye. At first I thought it was an eyelash turned in but it gradually dawned on me that, as it was moving around, it was probably a small half brick! By lunchtime, it was hurting so much that I took myself off to the Eye Infirmary. I had to wait until nearly three this afternoon to be seen by a nurse practitioner but then I was sorted out quickly. I had a speck of something on my eye and under my eyelid and it has also scratched the surface. I now have some goo to help the healing and a different type of artificial tears to combat the dryness. I have also discovered that I am more prone to dryness than most because of my job and my arthritis. Growing old is truly wonderful. On a more positive note, Hazel is due back in the UK today and should be home tomorrow and I, for one, can't wait.
