Day 3

Still burns. Pain controlled by Tetracaine. I think I can see a little bit better. Hopefully soon. Walking outside is like staring at the sun times ten. So I prefer to stay inside.

I've been carrying around a fanny-pack full of meds. It contains four different eye drops and two pain killers. There's also a sheet for tracking what medication I have taken and when.

I'm still getting disturbing flashbacks of watching a stiff toothbrush scraping my eye and a paper shaped scapel scooping the debris off. I'm also remembering the nurse telling me to stop squeezing the metal retainer that was holding my eyelid open.
