Dear Medical Diary,
On Thursday, I was rushing to get into the car for my bone density scan and closed the door with my elbow sticking out. Elbow got smashed by the door towards my face. My hand was holding my car key and that car key then went smash into my eye.
Friday morning, I saw the opthalmologist who told me it would heal in a day and said that my eyelid was covering the laceration (cut) so I didn’t need antibiotic drops or anything. I asked him if he was sure, given I’d used Enbrel which I’d been told slows wound healing. (Which is why you go off Enbrel at least two weeks before surgery.)
It’s now Sunday and the pain is still the same. Every blink is torture. Night time eye pain wakes me and the redness is not going away yet either.
I’m seeing even worse discoloration, spreading, than before Friday and I’m not happy. I really hope it hurries up and heals. The pain from blinking is like someone is punching my eye. This is definitely not healed after a day. Aaarrggghhhj!
You’re in everlasting pain,
Me
