Grrr. No one is online. Why is no one online when I want to talk? It's a conspiracy, I tell you.

My entire buddy's list, and not one person without an away message up. And I have nothing else to do. I'm working as a receptionist at my dad's office today, which means that I sit at a computer and amuse myself while guarding the phone, in case it happens to ring. Not really that interesting.

So, I was supposed to go to Cedar Point wednesday. It's a very cool amusement park (with the world's first and third tallest coasters!), and I tend to go about once a year. Of course, I wake up wednesday morning to discover that I have a hyphema again. A hyphema is when the iris of your eye fills with blood. Terribly pleasant, really. This tends to happen to me about once a year- though recently, it's been a bit more frequent- and does not lend itself well to riding roller coasters, since it's a blood clot, and shaking it loose could result in a stroke or heart attack. In fact, the last time it happened, the doctor ecommended that I not read for a few days. HA. Like that happened So I did not go to Cedar Point, because everything is a giant conspiracy to keep me from having fun. *pouts*

You know, if I have to have a random debilitating thingy, why can't it be a random debilitating thingy anyone's ever heard of?

How do you deal with a hyphema? Do you take blood thinners or just wait and not jostle too much? And does it obstruct your vision?

I take a steroid eyedrop- which is either to help dissolve the blood or keep the pressure in the eye down (Wheee! Exploding eyeballs!), I never remember which, and basically just wait.

And I suppose it would obstruct the vision, but I've been blind in that eye ever since I was born. ^^; The current theory on why I have these hyphemas is that a vein never healed right after one of the sugeries on the eye. Aheh. Such grossness.

That sucks... I'm stuck at work and AIMless right now, otherwise I'd chat with ya. ^^

I hope your eye thing gets better soon!
