It was a rough night sleeping as I had a fair amount of secondary tearing, ie my left eye this time teared almost constantly while I was sleeping which caused a lot of irritation and discomfort. I probably didn't use enough Lacrilube last nite. I'm also experimenting with the new natural tears ie the Cellusivc from Boots, which are preservative free and the Hyal-drops which arrived this morning, most impressedly, also preservative free. The Hyal-Drops however only provide about 2 drops per eye and the vial is empty which makes it very expensive if one is to use it up to 6 times a day. I think the cost of the individual sachets works out to aprox 40p per vial.
My eyes were stinging most of the day especially the left eye; and when I used the Hyal-drop, the stinging eased up. It's early days yet to tell which I prefer and which will work out the most economical. Probably the Hyal-drops as I can purchase 12 packets online at £7.40 per pack of 20 vials. Works out expensive though I think it will last about 6 months. We'll see how it goes and I'll monitor the situation. Now that I know that the original natural tears I've been using for years contains preservatives, it makes me think twice; especially as a lot of dry eye sites recommend not using natural tears with preservatives.
Was bummed to wake up to a reminder that I'd forgotten to pay my Congestion Charge when I had my consult with Jane. £50 penalty. Ouch! I was so tired that night, I completely forgot to pay it. (sighs). I felt frustrated and it hurt as it's another unnecessary cost; though these things happen and I need to breathe as money is just an exchange of energy at the end of the day :). What I spend, returns to me thousand fold (smiles).
Washed my hair today without any staples or stitches and it felt good though smart some as some of the incicision sites are still not closed and my head/scalp area is still tender and numb with some swollen areas. I have to be careful to comb my hair gently as there are incision lines still not closed up yet and feeling tender. I dried and straightened my hair though I'm still frustrated to see that I can't side part my hair as I always do as that's where one of the incision lines is and somehow not too much hair there (arrgh). So I may have to either change from left to right side parting or go center parting for a while. Errrggh! My forehead is somehow higher or rather my hairline is higher and I feel a little uncomfortable about that. I've always had a large forehead since I was a child (used to get teased about it) and I'm tempted to go back to having a fringe though that defeats the object and besides I'm too old now to be having fringes again (it takes a bit of maintenance :)). Another thing to keep an eye on. I'll see how it goes next week when I return to work.
Or maybe I jsut need a new haircut to go with my new forehead(?). Food for thought. Some strands of hair are noticeable cut short (don't know what that happened) and are sticking out at the top of my head. (sniffles).
Today my eyes have been the biggest concern and source of discomfort. My vision has been blurry most of today.
I meant to go to the store to get some food in for Christmas though I wasn't in the mood as my eyes hurt so much and ended up not going anywhere, especially when I saw the congestion charge fine of £50. So no christmas dinner in for x'mas, which is fine as my appetite has gone. I'm tired of eating as all I've done for 3 weeks is eat; and if I had gone out to the store, I'd have bought food that was rich and luxurious and that I don't really want; and put on more weight that I don't need. I'm happy to stick to eating whatever is in the freezer and cooking whatever my instincts say they want, which is something light like rice porridge with prawns, sesame oil, soy sauce, sweetcorn and vegetable stock.
