the dr says…

the peepers
are getting better
slowly
I must be patient

I had an allergic reaction to my last meds

I can now go get a new Rx for new glasses cos the infection is cleared up enough to make the Rx true

he also said he’s from South Africa and he’s rarely seen eyes as infected as mine were and that I’m lucky to have retained my vision without further damage (which makes me wonder if I shouldn’t have a talk with a lawyer about the GP that kept telling me it was in my imagination)

I’ll have to put drops in my eyes likely for the rest of my life…but the kind I’ll have to use is over the counter “viscose” ones (unless my eyes get worse and then it’s about steroid Rx’s again) and I just have to try till I find one that works right for me…

so trial and error for a bit – and to be cognizant of the headaches cos them becoming migraines are a sign the infection is back

I asked him if I was ok to ride
and he made me promise to wear good eye covering…and said don’t overdue it
he sounds like you think a dad should eh?

so I stopped at the other eye dr on the way to work and he did a new Rx for my peepers and the ladies are bringing in some frames for me to look at….

so
that’s my story

YaY!

the eyes have it again…


I’m off to the eye specialist again
I hope I can
make him understand

just how much
I need this to stop

just how tired I am
of the peepers always hurting
or of living with this kind of pain
all the time

I hope I can make him understand
just how much
I need to be able
to do more
than work my shift
and sleep

I want to read books
and watch tv

and ride my trike

and play with my friends online again
I want to be able to welcome the sunlight
and not feel like a mole

it’s not too much to ask

really

I want to be able
to get up in the morning
without a half pound of goop

in the peepers

I want medicine for them
that doesn’t hurt

or itch
till I’d like to pull a peeper out
to scratch it

I’m not even asking
for normal
just better

that’s not too much to ask
is it?

this has been a really hard winter for me
I need respite…
the eyes…
they are in control

but I want to be!
