Conjurer of Dreams 19 - anything goes with a twist Travel plans

Luckily I made these cards earlier this month.
I went to have my four weekly eye injections last Thursday but could only have the one in my left eye.  The specialist said that there was an infection in my right eye.  He took a swab to send to pathology that will be a week before it comes back and put lens in my eye and gave me different drops to put in 4 times a day.  I had to go back yesterday (Friday) and he told me that the infection has caused permanent image to my right eye.  My eye is sore, itchy and weeping.  I can't see out my right eye.  Thankfully I can see out my left eye.
