The Twilight Zone

I have been living in the twilight zone since the beginning of the Easter break.  I have developed an ulcer on the cornea of my left eye, which, putting it mildly has been fecking agony!(pardon the language).  This is the first day I've been able to open my eyes, and I have spent all of the holidays either sitting in a darkened room with my eyes shut, or making frequent visits to A&E and the Eye Clinic(Each visit of course involved the usual 3-4 hour wait for treatment.)  At its worst I felt like I had sharp hot spikes attached to the inside of my eyelid which scraped down the front of my eye each time I blinked or moved my eyes. The eye watered constantly and the pain went on day and night. I've had the surface of my eye scraped with a blade for bacteria samples, and flooded with various drops and iodine. I hope this description is not too graphic for you.
 It was all to no avail , the pain only dropped from fecking agony to bloody painful, which I suppose was a bonus.  Happily at this moment, my eye is only watery and very sensitive to light.
Needless to say, I have been unable to work on my current brief, and it's mid module on Monday.  I have fallen behind.  Hopefully I will catch up with things soon. No artwork pictures this time, only my collection of medication, painkillers etc.
