What is wrong with my eye, people?

eye owwie 1

It's been hurting a little bit today, I noticed it at dinner and thought it was "probably another stye or something."

But this is nothing like the last stye I had.

SUPER CLOSEUP EXXXTREME:

Maybe it's pink eye? Where would I have gotten pink eye?

I can't see a doctor about it until Tuesday because of lovely Martin Luther King, Jr. (I get Monday off as well! Yay!). But even if I could, I don't know of any doctors in town. Where do I find a doctor in this place?

More importantly, what's wrong with my eye? How can I make the hurty stop?

11 Love Notes

It looks like pink eye.. :-(
*hug*

Looks like my eyes when I've scrubbed a little to hard trying to get off last nights mascara :(

Or could it be from your contacts?

Well, obviously get it checked out. Also, load up on visine or the like, 'til Tuesday.

Also, I'd switch to glasses for the time being just to reduce the suspects.

That or have Steve lead you around and cater to your every whim.

It was sortakinda goopy this morning. Which means nothing, right? RIGHT!?

There's no way I'm putting contacts back in, and I'll probably even throw my current pair away until everything clears up. Am considering a pirate patch, however.

I got flux (chemical abrasion) in my eye about 6 years ago that made the eye irritated and seeing a little fuzzy for a couple days - lots of goop (which is usually eye skin sluffed off while sleeping). The eye heals it's skin fast.
If it is getting worse? See someone - eye, nose, and throat? Or just jab it out. You got another one!

Contacts are notorious for causing eye infections. Use lots of visine or plain water. But definitely have it looked at. There are those 24 hour clinics in Anch. if it gets worse. Your brother could help you find one.

oh, my, god. i'd definitely go for the piratey patch. find a doctor, quick! or maybe just take an allergy pill... does it itch?

It doesn't itch, hurts like a stye when I squeeze my eyes shut. Is a little better tonight. I've been flushing it with eye drops all day. I'll see how it does on Tuesday and see about finding a doctor.

Pirate patch. And a nurse' outfit.

Also, contacts float up into your head and sever your optical nerves. They're evil.

It's eye-rot.

As my Dad would tell me.
