Day 11 - Feels like... burning

Sunday, 26 July 2009
I woke up 3 times last night. This is totally unrelated to the surgery, but it connects in a weird way. I have very vivid dreams--usually 3 or 4 a night. It used to be that one dream would finish and my brain would melt back into deep sleep before the next one started. Not anymore. Nowadays, when I finish a dream, my brain decides to pop directly back into full consciousness. This means that I'll wake up suddenly, fully awake, 3 to 4 times a night. Now the connection:

Each time I woke up last night, my eyes had dried out sufficiently where the gunk that accumulates during sleep made it uncomfortable for me to open my eyes. So, instead of turning over and drifting back into slumber, I got up and applied Blink eye-drops to each eye to alleviate the discomfort. The first time that I woke up (around 1:30 am), I applied the drop in my right eye and it lit up like it was on fire. Evidently, that slow right eye is still healing and wanted to protest. For those of you who have never had this experience before, burning eyeballs is the absolute worst. It's like someone dropped jalapeno pepper juice in your eye.

This was a harbinger of the day to come. Today being Sunday, I went to church. Church consists of 3 action packed hours of being attentive in a very air conditioned chapel. The combination of attentiveness and air conditioning aggravated my right eye. It became irritated, slightly scratchy, and burned slightly. I did bring my eye-drops with me, so that helped a bit. After church, we came home and fed the kids. After putting the kids down to take naps (around 1:00 pm) I took an Alleve for the inflammation and took a nap, myself. I slept until 4:00 pm. My eye felt much better after I woke up. Coincidentally, the kids didn't wake up until a bit after 4, so all worked out well.

I started my Restasis this morning. 1 drop in the AM, 1 drop in the PM. They don't sting, like some people report. I seem to do well with the no side-effects department.

So, 11 days post-op, my left eye vision is fantastic. Crystal clear. My right eye vision is slowly sharpening. It's better today than it was yesterday; and since I can still feel it healing (the roughness is palpable) I know tomorrow will be better than today. I have a feeling that I won't be enjoying crystal clear vision in my right eye for a few more days. So, it's shaping up to be a full 2 week recovery period.

  1. Irrespective of receiving daily oral or future injectable depot therapies, these require health care visits for medication and monitoring of safety and response. If patients are treated early enough, before a lot of immune system damage has occurred, life expectancy is close to normal, as long as they remain on successful treatment. However, when patients stop therapy, virus rebounds to high levels in most patients, sometimes associated with severe illness because i have gone through this and even an increased risk of death. The aim of “cure”is ongoing but i still do believe my government made millions of ARV drugs instead of finding a cure. for ongoing therapy and monitoring. ARV alone cannot cure HIV as among the cells that are infected are very long-living CD4 memory cells and possibly other cells that act as long-term reservoirs. HIV can hide in these cells without being detected by the body’s immune system. Therefore even when ART completely blocks subsequent rounds of infection of cells, reservoirs that have been infected before therapy initiation persist and from these reservoirs HIV rebounds if therapy is stopped. “Cure” could either mean an eradication cure, which means to completely rid the body of reservoir virus or a functional HIV cure, where HIV may remain in reservoir cells but rebound to high levels is prevented after therapy interruption.Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's disease,Schizophrenia,Lung Cancer,Breast Cancer,Colo-Rectal Cancer,Blood Cancer,Prostate Cancer,Scoliosis,Fibromyalgia,Fluoroquinolone Toxicity
