My Evil Bleeding Eye

So I have been telling everyone I am done with medical issues,   everything has been fixed so I should be good to go and then…

Bang,  I am standing out in the cul de sac with my neighbor (finishing up kid drama) and she tells me my eye looks like it is bleeding… WTF????

I try to blow it off thinking,  it I can have anything wrong.    Knowing that my eye has been bugging me the last few days, but I thought it was just allergies or something.

I do go inside to take and look… and there it is crap!!!!     Are you kidding me?

We don’t have vision insurance, but I know they cover medical necessity of the eye.    Kaylynn (from her Hemangioma) and Larry (from Diabetes).

It turns out it was just a subjunctive hemorrhage.   One of my blood vessels in my eye burst, and I have to wear my glasses all the time and let it heal.     Working out in glasses???   Oh man,   and I don’t see as well.     Larry keeps asking if I should be driving the kids.

It kept spreading as I had an evil eye.   But all gone in 10 days.    Ready to wear contacts again.

No doctors today!!!

I will get to be a mom, wife, work, workout, pay the bills, plan meals, get the kids to and from school, look at possible summer schedule and camps and figure out what we can do for Spring Break.    Easy Day!
