Today was eventful....finally got my stitches out of my eye. This time I must confess that my tough girl attitude decided to take a hike today cause I cried like a little cry baby. Miss eye doctor lady had to stop a few times as I was just slightly anxious and a little overwhelmed this time around being robbed of the drugs that I was given so freely before. Apparently she believed that eye drops that freeze your eye would be enough. Oh NO....I felt it baby -- boy did I feel it, and it didn't even matter that she had Josh Groban playing in the background....I shook..like a scurdy cat! But needlesstosay...the whole ordeal is over and she warned me I will bruise again and then should be healed completely in 2 weeks.

But the he worst part of my hospital outing today was this older gentleman who was sitting in the outpatient lounge with me who appeared to be straining with his breathing. At first I wondered if he was there for eyeball poking as well, but really I just prayed that he wouldn’t pass out or have a heart attack or something cause then I would feel obligated to bust out my CPR skills and I wasn't up fer it. Screw that good samaritan nonsense–if Old guy goes down, I’m bouncin’......I didn’t see nuttin!!!!!! So wrong. I disappoint myself.

In sum, over the last few weeks, on a scale of 1-10, I had an absolute level 5 disaster and nightmare scenario that no one would ever want to deal with. Yes, the kind that ends in the reading of a will. It's impossible to even think about eating clean and counting macros in that scenario. So, I've lost 2 weeks of data collection and a lot of bio-dna activity.

14 days of sick persons comfort fuel and couch X will have its effects. We'll get some real data next week now that I'm back to the regularly scheduled program. I'll also be updating an exciting new stats next week: eggs and tuna consumed in a day!
