My Tear Duct
I was having really bad pain in the corner of my left eye. I could pushed on the corner and it didn't hurt at first. Fluid would come out and the pain would go away. A few days later I got a sinus infection and went on some antibiotics. But the pain in the corner of my eye became more excruciating pain and pressure. I went to the ER because it was hurting so bad. I got a CT scan and waited for three and half hours in the hospital and the doctor said there wasn't anything wrong. I still was in terriable pain and I went home so upset. My mom said to go to the eye doctor on monday and see what they say. I got the diagnosis of a clogged tear duct and he sent me to an eye specialist. This was Monday and the eye specialist said I would need surgery but they couldn't get me on the operating schedule until thursday. I didn't think I could make it until then. The doctor gave me pain medicine; lortab wasn't even helping the pain. I couldn't sleep Monday night with lortab and a sleeping pill. I woke up after a few hours of sleep and I couldn't take the pain any longer so I paged the doctor and he told me to come back in and get my tear duct drained. They had to put me under (thank heavens). I was in surgery for one hour and in recovery for another hour. I stayed in the hospital Tuesday night and I get to go home most likely on Wed. night. The doctors not sure if I have to get another surgery yet. We will know later on today. I hope I get to go home I miss Josie so much. This is the longest I've been away from her. I wanted to thank everyone for my prayers, phone calls and all the support during this time. Thank Again
