Keeping its promise (to whoop my butt)

My left eye feels as though someone threw a bucket of sand in it. It's red as an apple and completely unhappy. I am holding off on the pain-killng drops that I have been given until the doc can see me for a follow up today. Instead, I packed a fingerful of that goopy night-time Refresh lube into the eye and taped it shut with a sterile pad over it. That's some relief.
The good news is that while it was uncovered this AM, it appears that my vision is borderline 20/20 (the left eye is still not near 100%). I am thinking that, as Dante related long ago, there is only ascent through purgatory, although the journey is hard all the way.

This nasty little turn makes me even happier that I am doing my eyes one at a time.

Pain/Irritation Factor Scorecard:
One Eye: Bad Enough
Both Eyes at once: Debilitating.

Hope everyone has a good weekend! I'll be hanging out with my cold pad and watching the Tour of California.
