Popped

I just got home from the eye doctor. I told the nurse that it was like a mini vacation because I got to go to the doctor's office without taking Drew and Gracie with me.

I like the eye doctor that I saw today ... she took one look at my eyelid and said, "Bummer, huh?" When I agreed, she said, "You know, it's basically just a big zit, right?" Well, yes, I was aware of that. So she said she could "pop" it for me. Just what I wanted to hear. In fact, she did it this morning, so it's all done.

While the doctor gave me the shot in my eyelid, she said, "Yep, you're a mom," and then went on to tell me how she has never had a female patient faint when she gave them the shot but that guys seem to have a harder time with it.

My husband took one look at my eyelid when I got home and said, "Is it supposed to look better now?" I think it is swollen even more than it was, and I have a pretty black eye now. There was also some scar tissue so I don't know if it will ever look normal again. Sigh. At least it's gone for now.
