Seventy-two hours have passed since having surgery in my left eye, which means... I can exercise today. :-) I did a spinning class and a yoga class with no problem, other than not being able to see well, especially in my left eye. I would sometimes keep my left eye closed and wondered if anyone noticed.
I'm taking Ibuprofen and various anti-inflammatory and antibiotic eye drops at scheduled intervals. If, like me, you're interested in the finer points of language, take a second look at the hyphenation in "anti-inflammatory" and the lack thereof in "antibiotic." Why the difference? The neighboring identical vowels are the reason. Words like "antifreeze" and "antichrist" are not hyphenated, but words like "anti-inflammatory" and "de-emphasize" are. I think peppering my posts with controversial words like "antichrist" might boost my readership, although it might not necessarily draw the right kind of readers. Let's see.
I'm still sleeping with a plastic disc taped over my left eye and will do that for a week. It's not uncomfortable until the morning when it comes time to rip it off.
