Still gardening?

Kathy wanted to know if I was still gardening or if I’d gone off on vacation again… hardly.  But it’s nice she’s checking on me. 

Actually I’ve spent a lot of time, 15 minutes of every waking hour, with either ice packs or hot pads on my face.  I had those annoying bumps removed from my eyes and right now I’m thinking the bumps were easier than this “recovery” period.  But I guess I’m just a whiner because it really isn’t that bad. 

What makes it most uncomfortable is that I have an antibiotic ointment that I have to put on my eyes four times a day.  And when I put it on I’m guaranteed almost a full hour of blurry vision. 

So my day goes….

8ish - Get up apply ice to reduce the swelling 

15 minutes later apply antibiotic ointment

Hour later, more ice if needed and if not then a hot pack

15 minutes later I can do what I want, IF my vision is clear enough for me to see, which it usually hasn't.

Hour later, hot pack

15 minutes later usually vision is clear and I check email, facebook and then whatever I have time for before another hot pack

15 minutes later apply antibiotic ointment

Hour later, hot pack

And so on…

When my vision is clear I’ve been working on future BOMs and possible mysteries.  But honestly, I’m not getting a lot done.  And that blue fabric I'd been waiting for... yep it's here now.
