Red Eyes

Vampires are often depicted as human-like creatures who have red devlish eyes and sensitivity to light especially sunlight. Well that is my current situation right now. Not that I am saying that I am a vampire (I hope not!). It has already been more than a week that I have these red eyes. The doctor said it's called eye ulcers. They are often caused by bacteria most often brought about by contact lenses. Both my eyes have "damage" in the cornea more like little wounds so it hurts a lot. I am also sensitive to light so for the mean time, I'm like a vampire, dwelling in darkness.

I have two eye drops that the doctor prescribed. One medicine is to get rid of the bacteria, an anti-bacteria. The other is supposed to make my pupil dilate. I suppose this is to help the first medicine to take its full effect. The bad side to these medicines is that it makes me more sensitive to light and makes my vision blurry. In fact I am having difficulty writing this blog because everything is well, blurry.

The blurriness in vision and senitivity to light rendered me unable to navigate properly. Thus I was advised to stay at home for seven to ten days. That is like 10 days house arrest!

I am a little bit worried about my project as I have already just began stabilizing it and I was planning to finish all preparation by this week. I guess I should try and work at home. Teleconferences and emails will do for now.

So guys, see you in ten days (that's 7 days from now).
