1 Glad to hear it! You can now watch more anime. How's the cloudiness?

2 It's real hard to say. The corticosteroid eye drops are a suspension of a white powder, so that's in my eye now and I can't really tell. I don't think it's gotten better, though.

3 It's always hard to parse someone's nom de blog when they concatanate lower case letters together. Is that "Gaia's Will" or is it "Gaia Swill"? (heh)

4 That's great!  Keep taking those drops  for a couple of weeks, though, just to be safe...

I wondered about that, whether I might want to skip a day to see if the iris would close again, but I decided I'd keep going with it. I have another appointment with the eye doctor next Wednesday, and he'll tell me whether to keep going after that. But it really was nice to see in the mirror today.

And the corticosteroid is doing what it's supposed to do, too. The redness and inflammation are not gone but are drastically reduced, and I haven't felt any pain in that eye since Thursday night.

So the only real concern is the cloudiness, but I'm not too worried about that. In the Wikipedia article, that cloudiness is listed as a typical symptom, suggesting it's quite common, yet all reports are that with proper diagnosis and treatment prognosis is good. If the cloudiness was common and led to permanent damage, they'd have said something about it.

Jeez, I go away for a couple of days and Steven decides to undergo mutation!

Sriously, glad it's responding well.  It's really disturbing to have an eye injury.  I got stabbed in the eye by a broken branch during a off-road motorcycle race back in my madcap youth, and it was nerve-wracking waiting for it to recover.  The docs all told me it would be okay and and to just have patience, but...it's tough.  It did finally recover 100%, although I can still see the mark if I look closely.

I have noticed that a few people around here don't look human when I look at them with my left eye. More like big bipedal lizards.

With my right eye they look like normal humans, though. Wonder what's up with that?

8 Oh dear, the infection seems to have spread into your brain.

I assssssssssure you, that'ssss the only posssssible explanationsssss.

9 Man, and I thought bionic ducks were scary.

10 Oh they are, Steven... they are.
