Merry Christmas and Other News

by

Hi everyone, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. Mine was good but quiet. You may have noticed I haven’t been around for a bit. Well I managed to cut my eye(cornea) with my fingernail putting on mascara and haven’t been able to see all that well. I’m on some antibiotics for it now so hopefully it will heal up fast and I can get back to reading and blogging. I was behind before and now I’m really behind as I can’t read a whole lot at a time.

I hope each of you has a wonderful New Year and that it brings you all lots of health and happiness!

  3. I did that once…not fun. I hope your eye heals quickly and that you are back to reading and blogging soon. We miss you!

  6. Dar, so sorry to hear about your eye mishap. I thought maybe you were busy with holiday stuff. Sorry that isn’t the case. You’ve been missed. I hope your eye heals quickly. Take good care!

  7. Dar, I’ve definitely missed you and assumed that you were busy with the holidays as well. I’m sorry to hear about your eye troubles. I’ve heard that is quite painful. I hope that it heals quickly and you’re back to normal soon.

  8. Oh my goodness! Glad it’s on the mend. When my husband and I were first dating many years ago, I managed to somehow scrape his cornea with my fingernail. He did ask me out again….

  10. We had a pretty quiet Christmas ourselves. Ouch! My eyes are watering with sympathy hope you feel better soon!

  11. Glad you’re feeling well enough to pop in and say “hi” and let us know what’s been going on – I understand a scratched cornea can be very painful; the anitbiotics should make sure no infection brews!

    I hope your Christmas was wonderful, Dar!

  12. Hi Dar,

    I had been wondering about you. My eldest did the same thing to my eye when she was little, we were playing ‘tickle monster’ when whamo — scratched cornea. In the words of my then little girl, “big ouchie”.

    I hope your eye is feeling better soon!

  14. Oh no! Hope you have a speedy recovery. Another reason why I don’t wear mascara (the first being I’m too lazy to put it on).

  21. Oh my goodness, now that is scary! I hope you heal swiftly so you can resume your reading. You may have to check out some audiobooks from the library in the meantime! Good luck and I will keep you in my prayers.

  22. Oh my gosh, that sounds terrible!
    I told my daughter she needs to be more careful putting on mascara. Do you have real long fingernails?

  26. Dar – I’m so sorry to hear you hurt yourself! And in the eye! Ouch! I hope you heal quickly so you can get back in your groove. Happy New Year to you! 🙂

  27. ouch, dar! my mom scratched her cornea once too. she said it was REALLY painful. hope you heal up soon!!

  28. Oh my! I’m sorry to hear about your eye. I’m glad you have the antibiotics to ward off any infection. Hopefully you already have some relief. (I’ve been on vacation, so I haven’t posted until today, either.)

  30. Heal fast, Dar! And early Happy New Year, too.

    (this message is from Susan, not “the gang at Win a Book” — although I can leave a second one if you’d like!)

  31. I know how painful an eye injury is. I hope you’re better soon. Glad to hear you had a good holiday.

  32. Oh! My! Gosh! I am so very sorry. I thought you were just taking a Christmas break.

    Get better soon! 🙁

  33. Yikes! I hope you feel better soon. I’ve been absent too with family in town and the holidays in full force 🙂
