Well, my husband found himself driving me to Urgent Care today. I woke up this morning with my left eye watering like crazy. I went back to bed thinking it was just an eyelash that would work its way out. I got up a couple of hours later and my eye was swollen and bright red and it hurt to even move it. I tried looking for foreign objects but I figured I was just making it worse. I put in some eye drops and took some Advil because I had the beginning of a headache.
After a couple more hours, my eye still felt gritty so we headed out to sit for hours. I get worked up so easy these days and I am actually on meds for panic attacks, which I was on the verge of when in triage. My blood pressure spiked and so did my pulse which was reading over 120. We were there for almost two hours before I got called back to a room to wait for another 45 minutes. Finally, the doc arrived and she could definitely see the swelling. I was given some numbing drops and she looked at my eye thoroughly and didn't find anything amiss. She even put that dye in that would make abrasions or tears show up under a black light. Pretty wicked. Whatever it was possibly came out due to all the tears I shed. She gave me a script for antibiotic ointment to put in my eye to prevent infection. If it doesn't get better or worsens, I am to come back and get rechecked. I honestly hope it clears up. We are going to Six Flags for Holiday in the Park this Thursday and I start my new job on the 13th.
Game Night is always a fun time to just kick back and have a good laugh! Our theme this week was Your Country's Sterotype. 😁
Add overwhelming and excitement to that equation, too! 😲 After a month of processing background checks, references, and getting fingerprinted - I will be starting my training with the DFPS as an APS Administrative Assistant on Monday, December 13th!!
Yes - I finally got a JOB!!!
I was able to obtain a letter of reference from the current mayor of River Oaks, Joe Ashton, and my former employer - aka my sis in law, Darla, from Lake Lodge. After many weeks of trying to gain one more letter of reference, this agency allowed a bit of leniency and accepted a letter of reference from my long time friend Priscilla, whom I have known for almost 40 years. I also worked with her at the Fort Worth Zoo and we were in the military together. I am stoked!!
