Under the weather and eye pain

I said I would start posting again once things got back to normal here (with family visiting from overseas), but I wanted to pop in and say hi in the meantime.

I've been feeling tired and under the weather these past 4-5 days and today the pain in my eyes (the pressure from the glaucoma) is really nasty. It hurts to have my eyes open and closed, so I'm not sure what to do with them now. I wish I could take them out of my head and let them rest on a shelf somewhere.

I'm going with my father (he has glaucoma too) to the Glaucoma specialist here in town on November 10th, so I'm hoping that he can prescribe the drops that will bring down the pressure in my eyes and not have to do laser surgery. Dad is not in pain (thankfully), but I am.

I think I will take some tylenol and try to take a short nap before dinner time. Hopefully my eyes will feel better then.

I've got the spaghetti squash baking in the oven (I'm having spaghetti squash with home made spaghetti sauce, loaded with mushrooms and a bit of low fat cheese for dinner tonight. Yummy! The rest of the gang is having 'pasta' instead of squash). 

Just wanted to drop in here to say that I'm still around, just not feeling very good at the moment.
