Yes...I do think I will try to borrow a nice smooth/ soft scarf or something. The straps are beaded (ouch!) so I might have to find some creative way for the scarf to be underneath the strap. Also, it hurts if anything touches or moves across the area, so I might have to find a way to use the guaze still, but hide it under a scarf (which would have to be held absolutely still somehow)? I don't move much (probably a cracked rib too) so maybe that would work...
I do have some "eye" questions, if you don't mind...
My vision is still blurry, although not all the time. Sometimes one eye, sometimes the other, sometimes both, sometimes neither. No pattern that I can pick up on. I am definitely light sensative (especially to changes in the light) and sometimes it seems like there are halos around light sources (like the window or the computer screen).
Also, several times there have been these strange things. Not floaters, exactly. More like the aura-type things before a migraine. Silver flashes. I've had them occasionally (maybe once every couple years) in the past, but they are happening very frequently, and the flashes grow/ spread. Twice they have covered my vision until I couldn't see anything left of center. I tried looking up what they might be, but I guess I'm not describing them well enough to have a good word to search by.
Also, as a note--I have no eyelashes because of another medical condition. I also took some medication awhile back that absolutely dried up my eyes and mouth. I quit taking it almost 2 years ago, but I'm still dependent on eyedrops and chapstick. For what it's worth, I wear contacts (the 2 week kind) and was wearing them during the explosion. I took them out and got clean ones the next morning.
Thanks so much! That's one of the great things about this board...we all come together with our different experiences...Makes for a great wealth of knowledge.
