crap, crap, double crap....

So Saturday I was innocently plucking my eyebrows. I stand in the upper hallway by the big window with a nice little 5x magnifying mirror. I feel something in my right eye and assume that I have dropped an eyebrow hair in there. Uh oh... what do I see?
A big fat white pimple. As I lift my upper eyelid to look, it pops... (sorry, I know this is so gross) I blink a couple of times and hey, its ok.

Sunday morning I realize that my right eye itches. Annoying, but nothing I can't handle. I guess that little pimple is healing up. No problem...

Yesterday morning, I checked it out after I showered and hm....not a good thing (as Martha would say) There are bubbles. I call the Dr's office. They want to see me. (of course they do!!)...

Diagnosis - Herpes in the right eye AND a bacterial infection in the same eye.

Crap.....crap....double crap....

I am on an antibiotic AND the anti-viral.

crap....crap....double crap....

Miss Nancy and Ann are coming today to sew. I am making quiche and fruit salad. We WILL have a good time....

Is this the same eye? I, too, am sorry. Did they say how you can get herpes in your eye?

Nancy, I know how painful that can be! I hope you are feeling better soon. My mom had Shingles in her eye and it was aweful! Steph

I would say something really "smart" but I am being good...suffice it to say that I'm laughing at your DX, not your pain. LOL!
Sometimes you just gotta laugh, 'cause crying is just a waste of tears so hang in there buddy. Hope you are seeing clearly soon. A little pun never hurt anyone, hahaha. Big HUGS, B=)
