Good News: It's not Pink Eye!


The Bad news: it's a corneal ulcer. Yuck! Needless to say i'll be off my bike for at least a week maybe longer... I'm very sad. Yesterday I went to three different eye Dr.'s the first one hardly even glanced at my eye and said,
"That's NOT pink eye. Who's your Dr.?" Thankfully we caught the thing early. My optometrist said if I'd waited a few more days before coming to her I probably would have had a full blown ulcer with scaring and possibly loss of vision! What a blessing I went in when I did. So just a note, when it comes to your eyes, get them checked RIGHT AWAY if they hurt! Yesterday afternoon they put me on a strong antibiotic drop which quickly made the feeling of something being stuck in there go away. So, I'm on the mend but like I said it will be a while before I'm on the road. It will give me more time to plan my first ride and get my bike tuned up. I'm still anxiously checking the mail every day for my book "Adventures in Paradise" which lists a bunch of local rides with road conditions and difficulty levels.
I've been thinking about prescription sunglasses, can you get biking sunglasses in prescription?
