PSA for Today

Due to the graphic nature of this photo, viewer discretion is advised:





This is what happens when you don't take your contacts out. And this is how you end up walking around your house at 12:16 a.m. :




I woke up this morning and my eye felt like it had something in it. I went like that all day long until Chandler and my mom FORCED (yes, they practically had to drag me) me to go to the eye doctor. Let me just say that I am glad they did because I have a corneal ulcer and had it not been taken care of, I could have lost my eye sight. The doctor gave me some antibiotic eye drops and told me that I would be fine in a couple of days because we caught it before it did any permanent damage. I, however, cannot hardly see and my eye has been watering all day and the light just KILLS me. So I have resorted to wearing sunglasses in my house, which is working surprisingly well. :) So this is my friendly PSA for the day: Take out your contacts EVERY night or you'll end up like this!

Ashley! I know how you feel I get ulcers in my eyes too! And eyeritis! I know it doesn't sound real (and frankly no on believes me) but I know how bad it hurts and ya you DO have to wear sunglasses everywhere if you're going to have your eyes open at all. Do your eye drops look like milk? Mine are white so it looks like milk but they sure help. Hope you get feelin better!

Brandon had something somewhat similar to this and now he can't wear contacts anymore! He's stuck with glasses for now and he HATES it! Good luck with getting rid of it! It totally sucks!

Oh ow. Sorry about that. I switched to nighttime contacts that I have to take out right away or they kill. Glad you got to the Dr.'s though. Ouch! Makes my eyes water looking at it.
