that precious cornea

My 1st blog post of February 2010, and my 308th blogpost.
Cool huh? Anyway I'm finally
DISCHARGED!Haha I wouldn't say that I was craving to get discharged, neither was I hoping to stay in the hospital longer. It was a relatively nice experience staying in the hospital, especially in a children ward for patients under 16. Stayed there for 8 days - 25 Jan to 1 Feb. Would blog about the experience in details soon, once I get the time.
Ahh well about my condition, got something called cornea ulcer on my right eye. It happened since 23 Jan, but I only went to the polyclinic 2 days later, where they referred me to NUH. For the first few days, all I could see from my right eye was just white. Pure white. Nothing else. Quite scary come to think of it now. But now it's a lot better, from only able to see movements, I can now see big words using my right eye. Though it'll never go back to normal, since there will be a permanent scar on my cornea. So in other words I'm actually relying on my left eye to see things now.
And guess what, I could have gone blind in the right eye. Scary.
So for now, no contact lenses forever. Spectacles all the way~ Ahh I guess I look a bit toot in spectacles, hais but what to do? Haha actually I don't really care if I look toot or what, after all I've never looked that nice to start of with. Heh.
How I got cornea ulcer? Cause of contact lenses, congrats if you've guessed correctly! Well, it's kinda like misused of contacts.. over-wearing it I guess. But no, I didn't sleep with it, if I did it'll be a lot more disastrous I suppose.
Well fortunatly I didn't have to go for any surgery, or drips (horrible stuffs). So now I just have to get used to the weird feeling from my right eye, hopefully the scar will become lighter!
And maybe I can go for some kind of lasik in the future! ^^And compared to how slack and guilty I felt staying in the hospital, now I get all the mad rush coming. It's really irritating missing so much of school. It'll be the first time in my secondary school life where I don't get a perfect attendance. Ahh that's not the main point, the thing is it's so irritating when I get so many stuffs due and I've no idea how to do them. Cause I didn't attend lessons for it at all. So when I look at worksheets I just go blank or question-mark. I really HATE that feeling. Not able to do anything, although I want to finish up my work but completely lack the ability, or rather knowledge, to do it. It's exasperating really.
