Eye Has Healed and Halloween Dog Costumes

First 48 hours was crucial for healing. Now it's just a matter of time (as Visine would advertise) to get the red out!
As you can see, my dogs were thrilled when I showed them their new Halloween costumes.
Here's Porch Boy, the Lil Taco from all sides.


He really did hate wearing the hat!
Tater was a convincing stegosaur, but she kept tripping on the legs which were just too long for her short little weenie dog legs.



And the whole T-Rex outfit was too small for Trip. He reminds me of that weird character that Kristin Wiig played on SNL with the tiny little hands.

OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!! My Eye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

11:15 pm Wednesday night. In bed with the dogs, when one of the little wild rabbits that inhabit our neighborhood hopped into our front lawn. The dogs, of course, went berserk with excitement. One of them (not sure which one since I was awakened by the barking) ran across my face in his/her efforts at a better look at Peter Cottontail. An errant paw scratched my eye!

Needless to say, it totally freaked me out. Gina rushed me to the ER and I was there until 2AM. Will be going to Berkeley Eye Center this morning for follow up. Have to use antibiotic drops every 2 hours and ER doc gave me Vicodin for the pain. Here's another shot of the eye with me pulling down on my cheek and opening wide. OUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
