WTF


Retaining water where??

It all started with some blurry vision I noticed Halloween night whilst walking with Fran. I saw a toddler dressed all in green walking with his dad. While my vision at the time was fuzzy, I commented that he sure was a cute little dragon. Fran corrected me by telling me, as I tripped on a curb, that I was actually looking at a stroller with a green blanket draped over it. Well at least I got the green part right.

Trouble.

We went to a party last weekend in Tooele. I had to drive us home because I'm the eternal sober driver and Fran had had about 4 hours of sleep total in the past 6 days so he was passed the hell out. I've never even been to Tooele, let alone driven from there at night. The drive was scary as hell! I couldn't see the signs! Headlights and traffic lights were misty psychedelic blobs. I didn't know where the fuck we were. We made it home though. Barely. Thank goodness.

Trouble.

Some of you guys who already use glasses might be thinking "uhhh big deal whiney. Get over it." But I've never had such a problem seeing! I blink and blink to try to focus and I just can't get anything clear. I told my doctor about it thinking I might have high blood pressure or maybe that I was blind with love for my unborn child (sorry). Turns out I'm retaining fucking water in my corneas. This is fairly common in women who wear glasses, and a little more rare in people who don't. Well shit. Could be worse. The sucker could be falling out as in the case of the protracted cornea which sucks way worse.
