An update especially for those who might have seen my pretty pathetic status on Skype last week!

It all started last Thursday when I was playing some badminton with a few friends. Just simple rallies, and haven't even started any proper matches yet. All of a sudden I felt something enter my eye, and doing what any normal person would do, I tried to remove it as quickly as possible. Thing is, it didn't come out. Weirdest of all was that nothing had hit my eye prior to that, and it had just come out of the blue. Washing it a countless number of times didn't help, and the discomfort was so great that I needed my friends to escort my back to my dorm. A power nap after that didn't help things either, and I had started to get real worried. I struggled to see at all as blinking was a pain, and after much effort I managed to dial up the NHS (the British healthcare provider) to ask for their advice after explaining my situation.

Had to go to the hospital the next day to get it checked, but then again, the doctor couldn't find anything! There wasn't a scratch on my cornea (worst case scenario) and nothing could come out (best case scenario) after a few rounds of very discomforting saline eye wash. The doctor then determined that there was probably a cut on my sclera (the white part) beneath my eyelid and just gave my some eye moisturiser and sent me back. If it didn't get better then I'd most likely have to go in Monday for an operation... But thank goodness my vision was finally returned to me later that evening. Needless to say, it was a pretty harrowing and depressing situation (vision's the most essential sense to me, really).

But hey, I'm alright now! And thanks for reading this rant. Huntinsnake signing out!
