Day 3,348 —Still There —

I went to check on the abandoned card with the flowers and the card in the front seat first and saw that it was still there. I felt awful, having eye pain starting yesterday evening through the morning. I was running without my contacts, and my left eye has been in pain on and off throughout the day, but I felt the best I had felt all day while I was running. 

I went to the doctor later, and they told me I most likely have a virus, so it looks like I will be dealing with running blind for at least the next couple of days. I don’t know what this is going to mean for Saturday, but I hope my body recovers quickly. I am mainly happy that I didn’t cause my own eye pain. I had been convinced that I had done something to injure my eye, but it turns out I have some type of virus that is manifesting itself in my eye. 

When I asked the obvious question of why it isn’t in both my eyes, I got the worst response possible: “Normally your other eye gets it in when the first eye starts recovering.” I really hope that doesn’t happen, and my body can knock this thing out, but part of me, I guess, should try to enjoy not having both my eyes like this.
