DISCONNECTED BUT RESTED

DISCONNECTED BUT RESTED


For this couple of weeks, I'm supposed to:

Put 3 different eyedrops per 15minutes interval per 3hours.
Avoid rubbing or touching the eyes area.
Sterile wipe the eyes area twice a day.
Take care while bathing or washing face; not to let water enter the eyes.
Avoid sunlight and UV rays; to prevent wound scarring.
No running (this is so hard because I'll have to refrain from chasing after the bus or train. Grrr!) and exercising. No gym for at least 2 weeks. No lifting of weights, especially (Hey, you! Carry my bag for me!).
No contact sports or swimming for 2 weeks at least (big deal. I can't swim).
No eye makeup for at least a week.


And because the eyes have not fully recovered yet, at times, even TV is a bit glaring. For small prints and near objects, I have to strain to see. This means no TV, no reading, no surfing, no blogging, no facebook-ing, not being able to do school assignments, no anything, for the initial days after the operation.

Thus, since last Tuesday, the only thing which I've been doing consistently is to sleep, sleep, and more sleep. There's only so much of TV a person can take. And I can't read the small prints on books and newspapers. So I just sleep.

At least for the past few days, it's getting better. The light sensitivity is improving bit by bit, although at times when using the computer, I still put on sunglasses to shield off the glaring light after more than 15minutes of use. And at least I can still blog and come online, although I have to set the Firefox to zoom in at least twice, just to ease the strain. The only bad thing is, I still have trouble focusing on near objects and small prints. So, I can't do the school assignments and read the papers. I feel so cut off from the world! But, hey, at least it's getting better each day! These days, another reason for the sunglasses is to prevent dirt or dust particles from entering the eyes.

Before the op, I've been dutifully getting approximately 7hours of sleep per day. At least 5 days in a week, I'll manage to clock in at least 6 hours of good sleep no matter how busy. For this week alone though, as there's nothing better to do because of the eyes condition, I've been sleeping about... What? At least 10hours per day? Hohoho!


I'M THOROUGHLY RESTED, I TELL YOU!!!



Impartation session later! Hoho! I hope it'll be fine. I have a bit of trouble reading the chords. G looks like C. G also looks like D. D looks like B. B looks like E. E looks like G too. You get the idea! Hoho!
