Today I am getting my eyes dilated, so I think it will be a long time before I can look at a computer, so I probably won't post the 4th Station until tomorrow.
I hope that you are feeling better now. What does it mean, to have one's eyes "dilated". (It happens to me every time I enter a dark room, but presumably that is not what you mean.)
The eye doctor puts drops in your eyes to make them stay dilated even in bright light. Then they shine a really bright light into them so that they can see what's going on. It's not particularly pleasant, but the reason I couldn't write last night was because it takes a long time for your irises to start working again, and you can't read even from books, much less from a machine that shoots light into your eyes.
They did that to me when I was about 6 and somebody hit me in the eye with a tennis racquet. I seem to remember the light giving a bitter taste on the tongue - but can that be right?

ReplyDeleteOh, I'm fine now.

ReplyDeleteThat's never happened to me, but I can imagine it might. And it might have been the taste of those drops draining down from your tear ducts.
