To all those who think I've gone missing

I have. Friday night I came down with a serious eye infection. I don't know how it happened. I washed my face that night went to bed and my eyes started to burn in water woke up and went to urgent care. He said, scratched cornea suffered all day pacing floors went to bed that night woke up at 1:45 and told my husband take me to ER. He looked in my eye and said ulcer on the cornea was there all night.
Here I am six days later, three ophthalmologist appointments and I'm still doing drops in my eyes and it's still burning and can't see real well. So I haven't painted anything and I can't paint very well with one eye.
Feeling terribly stressed out and hoping and praying that this heals so I can regain my painting at least.

Love to all

I have had that before and it’s no fun. Just keep using the drops and take care of yourself. I hope you’re much better soon!
