Right in the middle of this whole mess with the fall, I got a blocked tear duct. At first it was not bad but I think because I was falling asleep sitting up and now I am on Orencia, the blocked tear duct got bad very fast. It looked horrible. Imagine a large pimp on your lower eye lid. That is what it looks like.
Today I went to the eye doctor to see what they had to say. I have been using the eye wash and the gel medicine but it isn't working the way it has in the past. The eye doctor said I have to put hot compresses on my eye 6-8 times a day for 10 minutes. Now, I understand that is what they want but think about your day for one minute and think about how you would find time to put a sterile compress on your eye (oh, and make it hot but not boiling) 6-8 times a day for 10 minutes. Yeah, that is what I said. I will be lucky to get it done 4 times a day.
She also gave me a prescription for some antibiotics if I need it since it is the holidays.
Until tomorrow...
