Today was..... yeah, dotdotdot.

A lot of waiting. & a lot of light, bright light, pointed directly into my eyes. I'll just be here for a short while to update you guys on what's actually happened to my eye.

So the whole thing went like this: registration at the counter, wait, go in room 15, eye test, questioned, the chin and forehead machine test (or whatever you call that), go outside to wait some more, go into room 8, get questioned, chin and forehead machine again (this time with very, very bright light), colour blind test, more questioning, some hand counting test, dokter takes my eyes' pressure (wow! i know. eye also got pressure.), assistant eye specialist gets called in, check eye again with chin and forehead machine, assistant says "yes, definitely treat", so dokter gives some red eye drops, says, "i give you some drops that will make your vision blur cause i need to look at the back of your eye. and these drops will give you blur vision for 5 hours. (me: =0) i'll see you in half and hour. *nods while smiling)", go outside, ohmygod so blind!, sit, parents left me to sit at the back, someone calls my name, get up and go towards the voice, oh! eye photography, go in this cool room, bright lighting in my eye again on chin and forehead machine, eye photographer keeps asking "are you okay?" which irritated the shit out of me, see the picture of the white spot on the computer (damn close up, me: =000000), go out, get scolded by mum, sit down to wait some more, filipino nurse approach me with a torch to check eye drops, yellow discharge, hmmm, call a more expert nurse to come check, stupid filipino, 5 minutes later back to room 8, more questioning, bright lighting on chin and forehead machine again (sigh), dokter wears a head torch, tell me, "look straight, look straight, try." (me thinks: bloody hell, you think not pain ah? light so bright.), but i try, and succeeded, and finally! diagnosis.

I have oily eyelids.

It's the reason why my eyes are so prone to infections and stuff like that. So when my eyes are itchy and stuff, I scratch it and stuff like that, it caused my eye to scar. The scar got worse over the years. Soooooooo, yeah. & it's called an ulcer. Dokter taught me how to clean off the oil from my eyes and I am given a 42-tablet course of antibiotics (wtf?) and it's huge! Got some creams and this big bottle of solution for the wiping thing. I have to come back on the 7th. They wanna see how deep the ulcer is. That's what freaks me out.

People, I'm fine. Don't worry about me. I'm handling it pretty well right now. Digesting everything slowly. Natashiiiii, please, please, please go to the dokter. Don't wait. Go ASAP, understood?

Bye, will be busy over the weekend. I love you, people! Just. Know. That.
