Somehow my email got hacked last night and I supposedly sent make money with google emails to random email addresses. I woke up this morning to about 10 times more emails than I usually have and thought something I must have said on this blog or on Facebook really struck a chord with people in the middle of the night. Alas, I was wrong. I'm just glad that the peeps in my address book didn't get weird emails. That I know of (at least my sent box didn't show anything like that).
Anyways.
This has been a superweird week. Coming off the high of The. Best. Concert. Ever. my friend Rachel and I treated ourselves to some retail therapy the next day. All was well (really good sales and some cute stuff) until late afternoon in a dressing room. I do not know how this happened except that I am getting old but somehow trying on clothes I pulled a muscle in my back. It was the kind of pain that almost makes you scream and cry at the same time but, hello, I am in a public place and the spotlight is not one of my favorite places to be. I walked gingerly out of the store and to Rachel telling her I didn't know what I did but I really hurt my back. All I could think of was what kind of prescription pain killer did my parents have stocked at home that would rid me of this pain. So shopping fun was over. For the most part.
I was in lots of pain (and doped up with fun drugs!) for the next couple days. It was so not cool. I have never done anything like that to my back at all. It started feeling better late Tuesday and by Wednesday it was just a little pain that shows up mostly when I have to sit straight in a hard chair. So I don't do that if I don't have to.
Then Wednesday was my day off because I am working Saturday. I purposed to make it a lazy hang around the house day. I wrote some articles and did some long overdue bible study homework (two things I couldn't do when I was in so much pain from the back incident). I had a headache which I assumed was sinus or allergy related because my eye was kind of irritated too. By evening I decided to take my contacts out (because maybe they were the cause of the irritation, don't ask me why I didn't think of this before) and my right eye was really red. Usually when I take the contact out relief comes instantly. Not the case this time. It felt like something horrible was still in my eye and it hurt. I nursed it with eyedrops and went to bed. When I woke up in the middle of the night with my eye still bothering me I got up for more eyedrops. I turned on the light in my bathroom and my eye started throbbing like a headache in my eye. It was the strangest feeling and I knew this wasn't just contact irritation.
The next morning I went to see my eye doctor and found out I had a bacterial ulcer. In my eye. Doesn't that sound lovely? When I texted the bff all she could text back was EWWWW! My eye is really red and swollen and I have to put a very expensive eye drop antibiotic in my eye every two hours. And no contacts for several days. And no more sleeping in my contacts either, apparently, since they trapped the bacteria in my eye overnight and caused this whole debacle.
Anyways. How was your week? Oh, and if my adding is correct this is my 200th post. Aren't you glad I used it to tell you of all my maladies? It's way better than a giveaway or 200 awesome things about me, surely?

Sorry you've had such a rough week. Hope things go better next week. ;)
Greece sounds like an awesome place to go and the Macy's parade too. I'll have to add them to my list.
Thank you for sharing your true maladious(...sort of like melodious) self instead of one of those crazy "pat my head it's my blog's birthday" posts. HA ha ha ha...snort! Oh...and thanks for the sweet comment on my blog! Love and Smiles!!
Oh my goodness! You have had one crazy week!! I can't believe all the awful things that happened to you! I am going to pray that the weekend goes better for you! :)
Not fun about your back. I've done that too when getting dressed, but the pain never lasted, thank God because I have nothing other than Teething Tablets and I'm not sure that would numb any pain in my back. Hopefully your eye gets better soon!!!! I am glad you had the best concert experience ever though :o) Happy 200 posts girl!
Ewww, sorry about your eye! It makes me hurt just thinking about it. The words "ulcer" and "eye" do NOT belong in the same sentence.
Hoping you get feeling better soon!
Hi Kara! Thanks for stopping by :)
I think you win the round of having a bad week. LOL I may have been sick, but you poor thing! You went through quite an ordeal of things in just a week! At least you'll come out stronger by the end! :)
Oh. Oh no. That is not good.
Hopefully, all of this jargon will be past you very soon.
Congrats on your 200th! That is so exciting.
First, 200...WHOOHOOO!
Secondly. Ouch and double ouch my twin! I have been praying for you more often this week and now I know why! The back pain was bad enough but the eye too... heavens to betsy! I had an eye problem last year (my eyes were suddenly allergic to my contact solution) and there is nothing worse than eye problems!
Send you lots of hugs and hopes for a better weekend and the coming week ahead.
Yikes! I hope I never have to wear contacts. I know there will come a day that I'll wear glasses, but I don't think I could stick something on my eyes. I hope you feel better soon, both eyes and back!
Oh, bless your heart! I am so sorry about all the awful things that have happened this week. I will definitely pray that you'll be feeling 100% better and that you'll have a great weekend!
Yikes! My hubby had an eye thing last year and had to go months without wearing his contacts. It did get him to finally buy some funky new glasses to replace his big, ugly ones that were almost as old as me. So there is that!
Sometimes the best thing about awful days are the stories you get to tell after-the-fact. :) Thank you for letting us laugh at your rocky road. :)
Doesn't that antibiotic drop give your eye a pressure type feeling? I had to take it for a couple weeks after lasik. And yeah...it's an expensive drop!!!
And ewwwwww!
