While doing yard work yesterday, I got a tree branch to the face. The butt end of a sawed-off branch impacted my face, and it hit my open eye.

The doctor’s report says CORNEAL ABRASION, basically, I scratched the center of the eye, the part you see out of.

It really hurts. Lots of nerves in that section of the eye. Apparently, it should heal pretty quick, but it will hurt while it does its work.

I’m just playing phone tag now, trying to track down the antibiotic prescription that was supposed to be sent to my pharmacy. It’s a game of he said she said with one side saying they sent it and the other saying nothing got sent.

For now, I’ve got some handy eye drops the doc gave me, and I am applying them every 2 hours for the pain.

Had I been more able and aware during my visit, I would have liked to compliment the staff on the gurney I was seated upon. It was surprisingly comfortable. I even fell asleep on it in between checkups by the staff.
