So.... we were driving 250 miles for a college music audition for my kid, and my eye began to feel sore. I figured, dry car, contact lenses.... not worried. When we got to the friend's house where we were staying, everyone looked at me and said, "EWWW! Your eye!!!" My right eye was red from the iris to the inner corner. Not a burst blood vessel, just very bloodshot.
Since, I've spent a lot of time without my contacts... that hasn't made a huge difference. The redness is a little better; it's better in the morning and worse as the day goes on. The eye is a bit sore. A little blurry maybe...? (My vision is so bad, it's hard to tell.)
So, sigh, I've looked up uveitis, and it could be..... I'll call the ophthalmologist in the morning.
On the up side, while we were away, I wished I had access to a computer because I had the most picture-perfect formed stool I'd had in ages, and... well, I mean, who else can we brag to about these things, besides each other here at HW?! lol
My gut is doing quite well, I'm getting off the steroid enemas.... but this is obnoxious and worrisome. Other than my extreme nearsightedness, I've not had eye issues.
Thanks for listening!
