Busy Few Days

We're gearing up for Thanksgiving.

The eye infection came back, went away with the new drops, but the ophthalmologist checked my eye pressure today and figured out that the pressure's high enough in my eye, to qualify for glaucoma. We're staying with the drops to clear this stuff up, but then we're going to do a thorough check and make sure there's no nerve damage.

Nice thing was knowing that the infection didn't move into the eye itself, and the doc's pretty clear about it not really being something hidden. Instead, it's a combination of going cold turkey off the steroid drops (dropping from 4 a day to nothing) and, possibly, my reinfecting them by using my old antihistamine drops when my eyes got irritated after the last round, since this time BOTH eyes got it.

( The last several days have been insane. Editing, LHUT, Jet's definition of GT, In-laws are here, and Thanksgiving. )
