Last week there was “The great relief“, to day it turned into a nightmare after all… Yesterday my eye turned all red again, same symptoms as last week, just worse… Kept me awake again last night until Sal brought some words of wisdom and took most of my worries away. To remove even the last little worries, I decided to swing by the hospital eye doctor again, just to make sure I was worrying about nothing again…

But no… this time I was not as lucky. The serious eye inflammation was back… Sadness… Postponing the trip has become inevitable… The inflammation ain’t the biggest problem right now, but apparently there is something more serious wrong with me, causing the eye inflammation. And that is what they will try and find now. They took 6 small tubes of blood for testing, and took x-ray pictures of my lungs for checking.

Scary thing now is that I could have a whole range of serious or less serious conditions… Don’t wanne think about that to much at the moment… the lung x-ray results will be there in 3 days, the blood tests could take “weeks”. Patience seems essential. But my worst feelings are not in any regards to my health. I know I have something, I know they are looking for it, I know they will fix it again. All good. But what does worry me a lot and makes me very sad is the fact we have to postpone the trip.

Even though there ain’t much I can do about it, I do feel quite guilty towards Sal. I know how much we both looked forward to this trip, we planned so much already and Sal took her leave without pay and probably can’t delay that… Many reasons to feel sad…

Oh, if anyone is curious about what an injection into your eye does to your eye… this is how my eye ended up after an injection of anti-inflammation medicine… Yes, not very sexy… :-)
