Happy Monday! My husband was kind enough to remind me that it has been a few days since I updated my blog. Thanks, honey. Isn't it sweet that he is an avid follower of my blog :)
The reason I have not updated in a few days is because I have been dealing with an eye issue. It turns out that I have a corneal ulcer in my left eye ball...and let me tell you...it is extremely painful! I went to the opthomaligist on Thursday and gave me some antibiotic drops and requested that I return the next day at 9:20am so he could see how the ulcer was healing. After he put various drops in my eye and looked it through many different scopes - he said, "Well I have good news and bad news." Great! Just what I wanted to hear. The good news was that the ulcer was starting to heal the bad news was that the antibiotic was causing a toxic reaction in the rest of my eye and causing my cornea to be bumpy instead of smooth like glass. No wonder it continued to be so painful. He prescribed a new antibiotic drop for me to use and rewetting drops. Today is day 4 on the drops and I happy to tell you that the eye is feeling better. I actually was able to wake up turn on a light without feeling like a gremlin or having to put on a pair of sunglasses over my reg specs to see...oh that looks so attractive too...lol. I go back tomorrow for another evaluation. I'll be sure to update you.
So, how does this impact me losing my ass you wonder...my gym is extremely bright...so for the last few days I haven't been able to be in very bright setting. Just yesterday I was able to return to the gym. I have to tell you I was so happy to get back at it. My husband came to my gym as my guest yesterday. We each did our own thing for an hour and then headed home. I am happy to tell you that in a weeks time I was able to go an additional 500 steps in 10 minutes on the Nustep :) so I stayed on and extra 5 minutes and went a total of 2000 steps. I also rowed and walked the treadmill. I did a great job of keeping me heart rate up :) Working out in glasses is a bit of a pain. Sweating causes them steam up a bit and slide on my nose. It is only a matter of time until I am back in my contacts :) I'm not sure what classes we are going to go to this week. I'll be sure to update the blog and let you know.
Have a great week everyone!
