Less than a week to go and stressed!!

Well we are officially less than a week away from moving in. In fact we move in 3 days time and I am a bit stressed, so the doctor said. As we were on our way to the hockey game with Garth and Mary, she asked me what was wrong with my eye, not knowing what she meant I looked into the mirror and discovered that I had a red line and my eye looked a bit bloodshot. Not thinking much about it I left it alone. I woke up on Saturday morning and the spot was a bit bigger and much more noticable, but still no loss of vision or soreness. During the day it got progressivly worse looking and bigger still. That night Paul and Jaime (our landlord) were considering taking me to Emergency as it took up most of the bottom of the white of my eye. I called the nurses hotline and they said that it was just a broken blood vessel and that it was not serious but to get it checked out on Sunday if it was still there. I went to the clinic and saw a doctor who said that it was most likely stress related as I had not been hit in the face or head and that the blood will re-absorb itself and that it is similar to a bruise. I have to watch it closly incase there is pain or it goes into the colored part of my eye. I am pretty self consious of it now because about 3/4 of my eye is bright red. I was also told not to bend or lift anything as that will cause pressure on my eye and could make it worse.

This of course is the worst time for this to happen as we are moving. I feel really bad as this puts a lot more pressure on Paul and I hate not being able to do stuff. I am guessing that this is God's way of telling me to relax and take it easy for a while and that I have been going and doing too much.
