GLAMMER's Journal, 15 June 2014

My weight is up .6 lbs, but that's no biggie. I'm still happy to be losing weight abain. We've had a very weird & busy weekend. We spent from about 7:30 Friday night til after midnight at the ER. My left eye was bothering me all day, but I just thought it had some pet dander or pollen in it, & didn't pay much attention. I looked at it briefly in my bedroom & bathroom mirrors & it looked normal to me. Then while sitting at my computer I noticed my little hand mirror & looked into it. I was shocked, the skin around my eye was all pink & puffy. Then for some reason I pulled my lower eyelid downward, & there was a little yellowish spot on it. That really made me freak out! I've had lots of skin infections, mostly because the collagen defect makes my skin extra susceptible to germs. I really wasn't looking forward to finding out what this little yellow spot was, but knew I had to. So, off we went to the ER. It's was a good thing, because the Dr said I have a "chalazion", which is a blocked gland in my eyelid. It can take up to 2 months to heal, but he says mine should only take a week or so thanks to our catching it early. I'm taking antibiotic eye drops 4 times a day, & applying hot compresses. It's a pain, but not that big of a deal, so I'm thankful. We ate junk for our Saturday morning breakfast, because no place was open except a convenience store. All day Saturday we just kind of ate what was there because we were too tired to care, so that didn't help me lose weight. Yesterday (Saturday) our daughter took us out to BBQ for Father's Day, so some extra calories there. So I'm just ignoring this week basically & will try to do better this coming week. I especially need to use my exercycle more, I'm really falling down on doing that. I hope all you Dads have an AWESOME Father's Day, & everyone else have a great weekend, hopefully involving a Dad in your life. (((HUGS)))!
