See No Evil
So now that my lips are almost healed and I've reached the point where I can venture into public without fear that people will run screaming, I woke up this morning with my left eye swollen and crusty. Went to the ER and after a few hours (if you're not dying they figure you've got all the time in the world) they determined that I have conjunctivitis. Otherwise known as PINK EYE.
This is so not fun. Can't wear my contacts for a week. Everyone who's seen me in my glasses raise their hand. I just hate wearing them. But, it's that or no vision at all.
So the ER doctor gave me some antibiotic goo to squish into my eyeball 3 times day tat will supposedly make it heal faster. And let me tell you, if your eye already feels itchy and nasty, the last thing you want to do is put something with the consistancy of vaseline into it.
This was just the thing I needed when Monday was going to be my first day back at work after two weeks of mooching about the house, trying not to move my lips. And my Xmas vacation is due to start Wednesday. I'll call my boss tomorrow maybe and ask what she thinks. Right now, my left eye is swollen enough that it looks like Jason took a poke at me!
For the record, I probably contracted it from someone Jason was in contact with, or from someone at the drug store, or who touched our mail or something, not from the cat. Cats do not cause pink eye. Jeez.
