i am adjusting to my blurry land of existence while hoping that my eye will recover whatever impact it suffered... the bleeding from the sustained cuts below my left eyebrow has clotted and i am trying to remember to apply the antiseptic cream as often as i can... i was told to keep the wound clean. the orangey dye that the A&E doc applied into my eye (to check for possible scratches by looking at/into my eye with a different optical wavelength) using a most unpleasant method is still apparent around my eye... i look like an art attempt gone terribly wrong... hopefully it will all heal with time.
"such incidents are probably sent to test us...", remarked the store-assistant at the first optical store i visited to try to fix my broken lens, who was really kind... although she couldn't lower the exorbitant price of the lens she assumed i needed (i suppose if it really was a Carl Zeiss or another really special type of lens it could well be incredibly dear but i doubt my old lenses are made of the best material that you can get... Zeiss lenses are for precision lab equipment or superduper cameras or for those who can afford them... pas moi, at least not now... perhaps someday in the future... i hope?!) she helped me look for alternatives and gave lots of helpful directions to the other optical stores...
i suppose she has a point... and it could have been a lot worse.
in my blurry world of reality today... i tried very hard to be positive... and i suppose i had to be more in the 'now' to make sure that i am not going to step into silly cracks or bump into things again... while walking home through the meadows after managing to do some supermarket shopping... i got distracted by the street lamps and moving cars in the distant... of course, all i could really make out of them appeared more like diffused splotches of coloured lights looking like the big circular ends of lollipops, some of which seem to have the capacity to move autonomously... in the backdrop of the darkening day and growing presence of concrete silhouettes... the moving lollipop flower lights were performing their rhythmic dance.... how i wish i could paint that reality...
i hope things will get better soon... i hate feeling miserable... it's really not fun and highly destructive... and i hate to be a worry.
