I'm about 3 - 4 hours before I get restored vision after those eyedrops. I do, however, have a late in the day appointment usually in October, and it's either dark or getting dark when I come out of the opticians.
I really, really, really did not want to go back to work today. Or get up this morning. In the finish, it was a pretty good day, and I was jolted out of my doldrums by some grim, awful news about a colleague's family. I knew what had happened, I just hadn't realised it had happened within this colleague's family.
In the meantime, I have solved the "Why the heck am I running in double figures, on double the amount of insulin on a Non-Organ Playing Sunday with 15 miles worth of walking in it, with Madame DP getting right out of control, and it all continuing right up to 4.00 p.m. this afternoon." conundrum. It took walking home plus cutting grass both front and back of the house to get me under 8.0 before evening meal time! Just don't ask where I got to yesterday, but I've not seen numbers like it since just before the LADA diagnosis. 15 months ago.
Do not put your bag, with both lots of insulin in it, on the floor in a house with underfloor heating on and working, is the answer to that conundrum. Both lots now changed, the slightly over-heated lot binned (I am wailing internally about the waste of two half-full pens.) and all seems well again.
