Twitchy Eye

Ok, here we go again. A new problem. My left
eyelid is inflamed and itchy. I washed my make up
off last night and placed a warm compress on it
for about 15 minutes. It is not as swollen this morning,
but it is itchy & twitchy & my eye feels like it has sand in it.
The redness does not appear to be a sty(e). I'll just have
to keep an eye on it.

At the doc last week, I mentioned my bleeding problem.
She thinks I broke a vessel in the flap (can't think of the
name) that spearates the esophagus and the stomach.
It would take it some time to heal, so I could still be
tasting the blood in my mouth from time to time from
that. She did order a CBC with diff, lipid profile, thyroid
panel, CA 125, and some other tests. If my blood count
is normal, it is not likely that I have internal bleeding from
a peptic ulcer or varices, etc. Wow, I can't believe I actually
told her, but I did. I can come here and write about these
things, but I don't dare speak about them. Hypochondriasis.
Must be what everything is all about. Why, on top of all
my other real or imaginary plights, did I have to end up
with that idiosyncrasy?

Raining this morning. Which I don't mind except it makes
me want to go back to bed, which dosn't sound like an
altogether bad idea. I have books to read. But I have
tired of Annie and that upsets me. I do like reading about
the terracotta army and the children in Smith's book--
e.g. the bird-headed dwarf children. So, I guess I'll go
try to read. I also got out my Plath and read Morning Song
and Child. I will look for Nick and the Candlestick.
