CONTACT LENS CRISIS!

Nine days ago I had a run in with an ornery contact lens!  It was flipping around on my fingertip, and when I  finally got it into my eye, it migrated right up under my lid~I swear it was in my brain!   I couldn't get it out.  My co-worker tried, but she couldn't get it out either.  By the end of my work-day it was really irritating me~one of the Docs froze my eye and fished out.......half a contact!!   He looked some more, but couldn't find the other half, and of course my eye was frozen, so I couldn't feel if it was still there.  And that's how the rest of the week went~some irritation, but just as many days when my eye felt OK.  Tonight I rubbed my eye and next thing I knew something was falling into my eyelashes, and there it was, the elusive half contact in a blob of eye goo.    My Daughter was grossed out, but I was thrilled!   My eye feels so much better, but I'll be continuing the contact lens rest for awhile longer...
