theres a stye in your eye
January 30, 2004
pink eye addendum: i just saw the doctor and its not pink eye. its a stye - like a pimple in one of my glands. it just happens to be near the tear duct of my eye.
it should drain on its own, but the doctor stressed that i am to NOT POP IT. you can see the first signs of the draining at the bottom of my cornea.
and apparently it is slightly contagious - but only if i dig my finger in my own eye and then dig the same finger in someone elses eye. and now i have this irresistable urge to poke people in the eye.
but right now ive got one of those awful eyelid twitch things right where this stye is. my guess is that its a teenie alien pod about to break free to wreak havoc, death, and destruction on our poor unprepared planet.

Glad to hear things are well, and on a side note your eyes are almost exactly the shade of blue that mine are (right now anyways).
thanks. it still hurts to blink and i cant wait until its gone.
how is your eye doing this week?
its just about gone. it doesnt hurt any more, just itches every once in a while. yay for medicine!
I have a stye and it stings when i touch it and itches very badly. It's where my tear duct is. I'ts kind of hard to read though.

I got one of these yesterday and it sure is annoying and slightly painful.
I've been treating it by wiping with 70% alcohol and then appling neosporen oitment.
