Hey, guess what! I have some kind of ragey infection in my EYEBALL! The opthalmalogist took fancy pictures of my splotchy cornea yesterday. As an aside, amongst the things you never want to hear at a doctor’s office: “I think it’s really good you came in today.” Also: “I don’t think it’ll affect your vision.”
Anyway, I get to put steroid/antiobiotic drops in my eyes four times a day for ten days. As an aside, I’m pathologically incapable of landing a drop in my eye. My flinch response is like a thunderbolt. So, essentially, I spent $25 at CVS on cheek/eyebrow/mouth drops.
I didn’t ask my eye-guy if I should forego tomorrow’s Tough Mudder, Redux, because I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have liked his answer. As an aside, almost-certain death tomorrow, you guys!
Three years ago, a guy tried his hand at negging me. Suck it, guy.
Two years ago — miracle of miracles — I found a dude on eGoddamnHarmony that I actually liked. (Never blogged about it, but I did email him. He didn’t respond. <sniff>)
And a year ago, with just a few simple guidelines, I was riling up the segment of the CrossFit community that either (a) couldn’t read; (b) didn’t get my sense of humor; or (c) both.
Happy Retrobruxist Friday, y’all.
once (when i was 21 and never took my contacts out) i got a really bad corneal infection and my ophthalmologist told me, “if you put these drops in every 4 hours religiously for the next 48 hours, there’s a good chance we can save your eye.” never slept with my contacts in again.
Sometimes they say the right thing to get the job done, don’t they?
1. pull bottom eyelid down
2. put drop inside pocket formed.
3 feel right smart.
I’VE TRIED THAT. I STILL FLINCH.
Send the drop upward and run underneath it. As for the mudder, keep your eyes closed.
Oops – that was ME, not HER!
Good idea, Granddude, but I’ve decided instead of doing 12 miles and 25 obstacles with my eyes closed, I’m going to wear swim goggles!!!!!!!!
I often hear “huh, that’s weird” or “gee, never seen that before”. The best was a Ortho doc said “you have grossly deformed knees”. Wow, way to make a girl feel pretty
Then there’s my favorite, “Wow, that’s some impressive scarring on your eardrums!”
