Eye injuries

If something ever goes wrong with your eyes, go get it checked out immediately.  Don't mess around with your eyes, trust me.  Not being able to see, even if its only out of one eyes is totally and completely debilitating. 

Currently, I have a corneal ulcer.  Gross...yes.  My eye is red, puffy, had a big white spot on my cornea.  I also have blurry vision, and constant tearing.  Not pleasant I tell you.  I've had it almost 2 weeks now.  Its improving, but won't be completely healed for a few weeks here.  There's a good chance that I will have some scarring of my cornea and my vision will probably not quite be the same.  If things had gotten worse, my cornea may have perforated and I may have needed a corneal transplant.  UGH.  UGH. 

Lesson learned.  Don't wait if there's anything wrong with your eyes and hope it gets better.  I had waited a couple of weeks and it had gotten til I couldn't stand it until I went to the emergency room.  Maybe if I had gotten to it sooner, I'd be fully cured by now and wouldn't be worried that my vision will be permanently blurry.  Trust me, having a 'forced' vacation is not all that it is cracked up to be.
