Eye issues

Nothing like super major, exactly. My left eye has been bothering me since at least Sunday. The bottom lid area was painful and stuff. My mom thought it was congestion which I assumed it was. Was getting eye gooies too, so still assumed that’s all it was.

But it got worse. Today it was the worst. It was killing me at work. Just felt painful, raw, and dry. So called my mom and she got me an appointment at the eye doctor while I was at work.

The doctor did look at it. She said it looked like something was going on, but it didn’t seem to be an infection. She thought maybe a stye was forming. So she told me to use baby shampoo to clean and do a warm compress on it, and she prescribed some antibiotic drops just in case it was an infection.

I’ve washed it once so far and did a few warm compresses, which does briefly relieve it. Took one dose of the drops. Still hurts a lot. In fact I took a nap and after I got up it felt so raw and dry. So continued use of my regular eye drops (it said I could on the prescribed ones). Still hurts like hell though. I have been getting more gooies out again (I hadn’t the last couple days too much). So I guess that’s good? I’m hoping it at least eases up soon.

I was supposed to work tomorrow, but I called in. It was hurting too much. And it bothered me a lot at work today. And the heat from the grill probably doesn’t exactly help with it. Hoping it’ll be more manageable by Monday when I next work. Though hoping it lessens up before then.
