Adventures in Sight

So, this week my eye suddenly looked like this

(yes, that's a blister on my eyeball)
within a matter of a few hours:

Not fun, as you might imagine. I went to see an eye specialist Wednesday and was diagnosed with episcleritis. It was a new term for me. It's comforting (I suppose) since the definition says "episcleritis is one of those conditions...that typically looks worse than it is." Well, it sure didn't stop it from hurting! I'm thankful for good eye drops and pain killers that have helped my eye get back to normal after a few short days. I still can't wear my contacts for 3 more days but that's a whole different issue. I'm just glad I have some cute glasses. Here's is a picture of me with my new haircut and healthy eyes (before episcleritis).

Here I am (post episcleritis) with my hair doing it's
natural wavy/curly thing:
