First Shot

   Yesterday I started my treatment for macular degeneration with a thorough eye exam and my first shot in my eyeball.  The shot itself was painless but after the numbness wears off my eye feels like an eyeball does when one gets a loose eyelash in it.  Scratchy.  The eye is red and the part that feels scratched is the part where the injection happened. 
   I take another injection in a month and will be taking them for three years.  It will not be a monthly thing but on a decreasing interval so I will have 21 to 26 shots over the next 3 years, all depending on how my body recovers.
