Well, 24 hours later and my eye has stopped randomly hurting and tearing up, oddly almost immediately this morning at about 9am. It’s like something popped back into place and stayed there. Maybe a flap or rough bit of something.
Anyway, I still feel like there’s something not right and the whole right hand part of my left eye is red and sore, but it’s heaps better than yesterday. I just wish I would not keep leaking the eye drops over my sunglasses (bright lights are annoying) or ballistic eyewear (they were the first things that came to hand when I was painting).
I hope (fingers crossed) that this means I dodged a serious abrasion. Sounds like you lot have had it much worse than me.
