I tried to leave it with them, but they slapped another bandage contact lens on and made me bring it home. (I&#8217;m kidding, they were quite gentle.) So, here I am, fuzzy vision and all.<\/p>\n<p>I remind myself that Monday morning when I woke up, my vision in both eyes was 20\/700. The left eye seemed to be hovering at around 20\/70 today. The right eye? I&#8217;m not sure, but it&#8217;s worse than that. And the bandage contact lens feels much better than having it exposed to the air. I go back in Monday morning, and I hope it will be well enough to release me back to Langley for after care. I&#8217;ve also arranged for a ride to work for the next couple weeks, since it looks like I may be a few more days until I improve enough to safely drive.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to those of you who&#8217;ve been offering support. Thanks to Holly for reminding me it will get better, and to my hubby who calls everyday (even more than usual) to see how I am, and to the guys at work, who have been terrific. When this all settles down, Holly is right, I&#8217;ll be a Dancing Jean. Just not quite yet<\/p>\n<p>But I did cross the four lane highway in front of my housing development to go browse in Rite Aid for a few minutes (didn&#8217;t find anything I couldn&#8217;t live without). I enjoyed playing human Frogger (obviously, I won). It&#8217;s all a matter of timing the traffic light at each end of the &#8216;block&#8217; to cross to the median between salvos. At least I could see images that far (don&#8217;t recommend that with 20\/700 vision).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The right eye isn&#8217;t healed well enough to be released from care at Portsmouth yet.
