Santa Ana winds

This morning I was woken up early with leaves hitting the window and the sound of gusts of winds. I put the pillow over my head thinking that there was a rain storm and fell back to sleep. Low and behold it was the warm Santa Ana winds.. dun dun dun. Later I texted Mandy saying that "anything can happen" as Miles in The Holiday says...and thus the beginning of my saga.

After lunch at work, I was walking around outside and the wind blew my hair in my eyes. I reached up to brush my hair away and poked my eye with my keys I was holding in my hand. Dumb moment... no one saw. And so the day went on. Later I decided to have the school nurse take a peek at my eye that had a big swollen bump on it. She was at a school next door and came over and pronounced that it was serious enough that I needed to leave work and go to the doctor. Oh no... I wasn't really sure even who my eye doctor was since changing insurance! Sonia in the office and laughed as I preceded to call the district office and tell the tale. Turns out that it was enough for a work comp issue. We filled out paperwork noting the accident was 'pushed back hair with key in hand and accidently scratched eye with key'. Goodness. I went to the doctor, had my eyes examined, had yellow dye put in my eye to enhance the scratch, and boom- there it was. My diagnosis: corneal abrasion, eye swelling, eye inflammation. With instructions to use a cool or warm compress. 'patient is warned' -of what? and a recheck for tomorrow.

And there we have it, "Anything can happen". Oh yay wind!
