Well, it's been over a week since my surgery... and I hate it! There's no pain or anything like that, it's just the inconvenience of it all, Eight eye drops a day, spaced out at different times is truly annoying.
And I can't swim because contrary to what we all think about sea-swimming, the sea is absolutely bacteria-ridden.
And this is about the hottest summer New Zealand has had in, perhaps, a hundred years. I sit in the back garden most days. Then I'm so hot that I crave a shower. Half a dozen times a day.
And this leads to the next problem: showering. I can't get shampoo or soap or grit or any foreign bacteria-ridden thing in my eye. I tried all sorts of things not to get my eye bumped, scratched, soaped or wet when in the shower. After lots of experimentation (mainly out of the shower), I hit on the perfect showering solution for when I want to cold shower many times in one day. And here it is:
A bucket on my head!!!
I still have trouble washing my hair. And after more experimentation, I now have one hand holding a big fluffy bunched up towel over my bad eye, and the other hand (trying to) wash my hair.
Sigh.......
