Mystery Solved.....

So I Web Md my eye issue last night and it said to get to the doctor immediately.  FUCK!  Ok, then.  I call my family doctor this morning and they're not touching anything to do with white spots on the eye.  I call my eye doctor and am instructed to get down there immediately.  FUCK!  Ok, I go.

I get there and see a doctor I've never been to before.  He was super serious.  Apparently I have an infection in my eye that has caused ulcers on my cornea.  WTF??  Apparently if left untreated they can cause blindness, and we all know that I'm far too vain to be blind.  Which reminds me of a story......

I worked at Wendy's from age 16 until I had B shortly after my 18th birthday.  Actually, I worked all day the day that I was in labor with him.  But that's another relatively funny story for later.  In this story I am putting chicken breasts into the deep fryer, ignoring all safety materials around me.  Nobody used them, why would I?  The handle that attaches to the basket in the pressure cooker comes off so that you can seal the cooker once you have dropped the chicken down inside.  I got the basket over the cooker and the handle came off shooting 400 degree grease up into my face during lunch rush.  More specifically it went into my eye.  Of course I flipped out but first aid was administered and I ended up going to the emergency room. 

All said and done I was more worried about if I'd have a scar on my face than the fact that I could have been blinded by that hot grease.  I could be blind, but damn it, I didn't wanna be ugly!!  I didn't go to school for a week because they put a patch on my eye and I had burns on my face.  I didn't want anyone to see me like that....  Once it got a little better I was able to return to both work and school and after about a month, there was no trace of the burns.  Thank someone above for that! 

Anyways, my sentence for this whole thing is no contacts until at LEAST Monday, which is absolutely killing me.  I can't see for shit outta my glasses.  Plus I have to do antibiotic eye drops every two hours for the entire weekend, fun shit. 

Since the big kids have plans all weekend, it'll just be me and Lil E.  Meaning, no super fun stuff for me.  I'm going down the street a few houses for chili and a bonfire tonight, kids are getting Christmas pics taken tomorrow, we have a soccer game, then who knows what.....

Have a great weekend everyone!
