Leper’s Progress
After spending a week looking like the “after” pictures in an Army STD video, my forehead has dried up and started to look marginally less angry. The opthalmologist continues to be concerned with what he sees in my left eye, which damps my euphoria somewhat (as does the slightest glance in a mirror). He has me using a couple different kinds of drops, which I seem to get better at applying as time goes on. The vision is fine, but it’s sore sometimes.
I needed a haircut pretty badly before this stuff blindsided me, and once it took hold I don’t think even a mortician could have been bribed to go near my head. It’s just completely out of hand now, I think it’ll take a string trimmer to subdue it.
I’ve been able to carry on with most other functions - running, weights, walks, working. I haven’t visited any client sites, but I’ve been able to do a lot of work from my home, since I can work on almost all of my clients’ systems remotely. I’m pretty sure I’m no longer contagious, but I’ll stay quarantined for a day or two more just to be safe.
