My mom met with her primary eye doc yesterday. He was just as pleased as the other one, telling my mom, after today, she doesn't have to do anything recovery-wise. No eye patches. No stabilization pillows. She's thrilled, I'm thrilled and my dad's even thrilled.
Her eyesight is tentatively getting to the point where it used to be. But where it used to be is correctable with glasses, so it's still a massive improvement!
Something broke, with my COVID or just general fatigue I don't know, and I was able to get some nice dream filled sleep. Don't remember the dreams, but I remember being pleased as punch to be having them. I also woke up well rested in a short amount of time, so that thrilled me.
Still have this congestion/drainage/coughing combo, but to a much lesser extent. I'm still going to talk to my Primary Doc about the whole COVID mess and see if he's got any recommendations.
Another person I've got to talk to is my boss and get a return to work day from her. It's probably not going to be today, since having a mucus induced coughing fit isn't going to inspire customers to come to me for help, or basic conversation. Still, it would be nice to hash out when they want me back.
If I can get these two issues addressed, I'll be well on my way! Or at least have some clarity.
