Home Remedies

I've always stayed away from home remedies but tonight my left eye was really hurting and nothing was helping, even the high priced narcotics were ineffective.

I remembered once when I had pink eye (have no idea how I got that) I would put a very hot washcloth on my eyelid - very hot - too hot to hold my finger under. I have several hot pads that have a pocket for your hand.

I stuff the pocket with ice, run the super hot water over the one side and have a nice cool other side to hold the contraption to my eyelid.

It felt great - so great I did my right eye and to my surprise when I changed back to my left key I could see objects with my right eye. I could actually see some detail, not much but more then I have for months.

But best of all the pain in my left eye is gone - completely gone. I heated my right eye several more times - it seemed to get better and better but finally stayed the same.

I think I could see well enough to shave.

The first thing I did was sort my canned goods and marked them. Remember those three by three by one inch packages I found during my cleaning? Pudding - guess what I'm having for dessert tomorrow. Then I checked out the football game on TV and sort of watched the news.

I was able to read a few emails from weeks ago using the highest magnification of the magnifier program. Slow process but it felt good to almost be independent again.

I'm going to attempt to look up heat on eye to see if I can read it and find anything on the subject. Hard to call anyone at 245 in the morning.
