It's getting old.

The blurriness. The double vision. The generally sore eyes. It's getting old. I'm ready to move on. I'm also ready to no longer look like I got smacked in the face. And to no longer have a numb lip that always feels chapped. I don't know if it actually IS chapped, but it sure feels that way. At least today I was able to smile mildly normally...

Here we have today's attempt to
smile and look cheerful...


I also figured I'd give a real close-up
instead of those far-away close-ups
I did earlier. You get a better look
at the rheumy eye, assuming I'm
using "rheumy" correctly...


And in this closed-eye version you can see
that I still can't close it all the way without
also closing the other eye. Which might
be leading to some of the
soreness...or not. I just don't know.
