Last night around nine p.m. my left eye started itching, burning, and was red. Now, I was not worried at this point, my eyes are crazy, so I took some Visine for red eyes and went about my work. The pain was so unbearable, i was moody, couldn't help from rubbing my eyes. Then, my left eye swells. Still not too worried, has happened a couple times a few years ago, so I take some Claritin-D, since it is probably an allergic reaction. I also put a cold compress on to help ease the pain.
Once waking up this morning, I was in more pain then ever. I then went to the Web site that makes a sick person more paranoid then ever- WEB MD. Honestly, you can type in that you have a headache, and your problem could be a tumor.
After checking WEB MD, thinking I am losing my eye and my vision I called my dad, who works in a hospital, and said he would take me to the hospital. After spending the day in the hospital, I have a form of conjunctivitis (pink eye) and some sort of stye on my eyelid, hence the swelling. I take these really gross blue pills FOUR TIMES A DAY on an empty stomach, which is crazy, since I am eating constantly, and drops three times a day, which means no contacts for a week, but I have been wearing my glasses a lot, so I don't mind that much.
In total, I am thankful that some places are open on Sunday for things like this, but it couldn't come at a worse time. The semester is coming to an end, I have finals, a takeout story, papers, etc, and with my eye like this, all I want to do is keep it closed, and the only thing I can think of to do with my eye closed is sleep. So I am not accomplishing much right now, and I hope I feel better soon.
