EYE DROPS

EYE DROPS


Have an appointment with the Doc later in the afternoon at 2pm! To take out the contact lens bandage!

Hope this means an end to the need of medical compliance to put the 3 different eye drops: Lubricant, Anti-inflammatory, and Antibiotic (The last 2 taste bitter!). They're such a bother! It makes going out very inconvenient!

I used to be a scaredy cat when it comes to putting on eye drops. It's really frightening, you know, seeing the droplet dangling gleefully right over your eyes, and not knowing where and when the surface tension will be overcomed by gravity, resulting in the droplet detaching from the bottle tip and hitting you squarely in the eyes. It's a very frightening and uncomfortable moment in time, to me at least.

But now, after 1 week, I think I'm now quite a pro.


How can I not? 3 types of eye drops per 3 hourly. Assuming that I am awake for 12hours per day, that makes it (4 x 3) times of putting on eye drops. Ee-yeerrr!

Anyway, I've been making an effort to read Proverbs before going to bed at night, and Psalms in the morning (or afternoon) when I wake up.

I had thought it was good, because the
chim-chim Proverbs would have the luxury of settling in through the night, and perhaps I would have a clearer understanding after a good night of sleeping and thinking. Discretion and wisdom would keep me while I sleep. And in the morning, wake up bright-eyed to Psalms of praises.

It sounds good, you know, because it has been said that students should have a good night sleep before an exam, as the brain needs to "reorganize" and "restructure" what has been learnt throughout the day. These students usually end up having a clearer head on the day of examinations, and score better. As such, I thought that it would be good, because I would wake up with a clearer, better understanding. Short. Sharp. Efficient. Shoot! And Bam!

The weird thing is: I guess it's not working so well. I wake up after a good night sleep, and can't recall what I read the previous night. Not even a good summary. Can't even recite a verse proper. Ermmm...

Time to make some adjustments or changes or enhancements. Especially before my Curriculum Studies modules kick in and I'll be practically camping in campus - which is like, starting from next week? Hmmm...
