Anyway, it's been a pretty wild ride. I woke up around 3:30 a.m. on Tuesday and my eye hurt so much that I drove half-blind to the emergency room and checked in. And while I was sitting in my little pseudo-cubicle, where a robotic registration desk employee collected basic information from me, a guy came in and entered the pseudo-cubicle next to mine and started talking about how he was a war veteran with PTSD with suicidal thoughts and he'd already tried hanging himself. And I was sitting there with my lil inflamed eye feeling like the biggest crybaby in the world. Away from me, suicidal PTSD-suffering war vets!!
My vision has still not totally healed. It's significantly better than it was before but it's still blurry. Over the last 72 hours I've repeatedly iimagined an existence where I have to wear either glasses or an eye patch. I tried to imagine embracing use of an eye patch sans extreme depression and suicidal tendencies, perhaps in the vein of Dr. House, the most inspirational - for me, at least :P - of fictional television characters, but it would be a difficult future. Glasses I could deal with. I'd get really zany wire-rimmed ones, I think.
I can only hope that this consumption of alcohol - "Literally poison!" exclaims, with a heavy dose of unfunny irony, the excited college freshman still burning within me - does not impede upon my progress ... but I trust it will not. "YOLO," as they say. =D
My Fire Eye of +5 Fire Damage is rapidly improving, by the way. Perhaps by tomorrow it will be all better ... my guess is Saturday, however. In any event, I have refused to consume alcohol since the true onset of the ailment circa Sunday, and so now I am celebrating my improvement, spurred onward by steroids in the form of milky saline-containing drops, with the consumption of a homemade Dark 'n' Stormy, among the finest of all mixed drinks; I even have the proper Gosling ingredients. I just can't go another day without a drink. Well, it is good to be back in action, haha.
Outwardly, this post consists only of "Nope," which is the word Togepi typed into her computer whilst in the process of composing this post, which she then submitted to the Internet, but really she's just trying to draw attention to the fact that she's a mod now, so that Matt12 will feed her vile ravenous ego.
