2x2x2

AMY SAYS…

April 24, 2008

I woke up this morning, at ’silly-o-clock’ with my eyes glued shut; sealing both my contacts in tightly, I couldn’t see a thing! I tried to ignore the pain but eventually my finger made it’s way to the phone and called Gareth, not me folks the finger! I quickly hung up on the second ring – I really didn’t want to wake him – he needed a good rest!

That’s when the light bulb went off: I still live with my mother, a.k.a. mommy – and I didn’t feel badly about waking her, so I did. She was a mommy champion, she jumped out of bed and went to work on fixing me immediately.

That’s when I got the text: In a cab, be there in 20. Gareth came to my rescue and cuddled me for 2 hours. My hero. I went to the doctor and he told me I had 2, not 1, but 2 bacterial infections taking over both my eyes. My doc said, “Ouch, it looks severe.” So he sent me to the Ophthalmologist, yikes…the good news is I won’t go blind – the bad news is it cost me $90! 2 doctors, 2 prescriptions for 2 nasty eye infections!

I had to remind myself all day that:
1) no matter how far in debt you are - NEVER mess with your health!
2) no matter how old you are, it’s always nice to have 2; a mommy and a “Nurse Gareth” near by.
