Decided to try attending an important event at my theatre. Lobby was overwhelming so I sat down early and kept fairly quiet. But I got a bad headache, that came like a stabbing feeling above my left eye. Then I felt like there was something happening behind my right eye. I tried to ignore it but it was uncomfortable so eventually I found a moment where I could sneak out to the washroom.
My eye was all bloody.
I've had subconjunctival hematoma before (twice) but both times I didn't feel it at all. This feeling was different and combined with the headache (which is like a slow throb, just getting stabbed once an hour like when I had appendicitis) I started feeling anxious and walked to the ER at Toronto Western Hospital (just a block away).
I've been here 4 hours sitting in various chairs and only just now got some orange juice after I started crying. (I had been waiting 2 hours and just learned that the hospital coffee shop was still open and was about to grab something when they called me from the main waiting room to the exam area, where I waited another 2 hours.)
20 minutes later... when I started writing this no one had talked to me for 2 hours; now I have been given juice and a bed. Doctor has had a brief look and disappeared again.
I am going to try to nap
3am update... had a CT-scan about an hour ago and just now had some blood drawn.
Here's a decoy photo of my dumb pleather pants to push the gross eyeball photo below the fold:
