The good news is . . . my blogs are now up to date! The times that the blog is posted can sometimes be messed up but otherwise they are appearing as I write now. Now, the bad news? ? ? ?
Today was a bit of a disappointment for me. Last night while showering and getting ready for our 6:30 dinner, I poked my eye with my mascara brush. Evidently, it is no minor scratch. I have done this a million times before, and by morning I don't even remember it. Today though, I woke up with my eye swollen and hurting like I have a huge something in there. I also woke up about 6 am with Romanian Revenge! It was not fun or pretty, and I will NOT go into details. Suffice it to say, I was pretty miserable the rest of the morning and into the day. I ended up staying behind in the hotel. I slept alot and feel much better. I even ate a little dinner tonite. Unfortunately, my eye is no better, seems worse. As I type this it is tearing and so sore. I have been remembering the pain from more than 25 years ago when I had an eye injury (a poke in the eye from andrea when she was 15 months old. We were playing peek-a-boo) that lasted over a month and ended in a hospital stay for 7 days before healing. I remember thinking then, that I would rather go through childbirth than deal with this pain, and I had just delivered Eric! So, as a result, I am feeling a little fearful that this isn't going to heal on it's own, and also wondering if a Romanian eye doctor in a remote village is who I want diagnosing and caring for one of the two eyes I have. I am going tomorrow to Barlad to the eye doctor. I will update when I know something. On a happier note, I am feeling more and more attached to our team members. They are all incredible, giving, sweet people, with such a love for the children. My intention really is to post some pictures soon, but it's been a whirlwind of activity. Hopefully, I will be able to be at the clinic tomorrow, at least for some of the day. Keep praying, keep reading. It means so much to know you are.
