I spy with my eye...

Not too damn much if it's my right one. *g*

Anyhow. Left eye? Healed. No more drops for Mr. Left Eye. He's a happy eye, he is.

Righty, though? Eheheheh.

Apparently, I managed to catch both a virus and a bacterial infection in that eye at the same damned time.

See? I told you guys; when I mess something up, I really mess it up. XD.

Anyhow. The specialist put me on some new drops--Zymar instead of Zylet. I'm on those for two days, then I go back for another check up. If the bacterial infection part has cleared up, then the doc will put me on honest-to-god heavy duty steriods to get rid of the rest of the viral infection.

The good news? No more artifical tears, which is really good, because spending nine dollars every two days was getting too damned expensive.

What did you touch?!

...Probably everything all my delivery drivers touched within a weeks period and five states. I wash my hands every hour or so, but you know, if some asshole wtih pink eye or some other problem got their grubby hands all over my boxes, well...yeah. I can wash all day long--I'll still get it on my hands, and probably on my face without thinking about it, even when I am.

Scary thing is? Doc isn't even sure what infection and virus they started out as...O.o.

Yeah. Good thing my immune system is as strong as it is. Hate to find out what would have happened if I were a sickly little thing.

Yikes.
Don't even know what it was to start...
Ew.

Yeah.

Good news is that there's no permanent damage. It's just a question of finding the right drug combo to get the shit in my eye to get gone.

Also: you should see my eyes right now: He dilated the crap out of them to check out what was going on. They're starting to recover from that, but for hours all I had was this teeny little circle of green around these HUGE BLACK HOLES in the middle of my eyes. XD.

...Driving to get my RX filled was...an adventure...
