Slow Recovery

My shingles situation is slowly improving. Most of the crusty scabs fell off my forehead, leaving substantial pits behind. My eye now opens and stays open, but it's still swollen, red, and doesn't work very well. My eyesight at close range is pretty good, but beyond about two or three feet my eyes don't seem to agree on which direction they're looking and I suffer from wild double vision.

But it IS getting better. The cloudiness is going away, and there are moments when I suddenly realize that my eyes have "clicked" and are working together. Such moments don't last long, but they're becoming more and more common. Maybe one of these days I'll be out of these woods.

I desire some slack. I'm tired of being sick.
