I Have A Stye In My Eye

I have a stye in my eye and it hurts like hell. You know those little pimples that develop in your eyelash. It developed a few weeks ago and when it came to a head I pinched it, and so I thought it would go away.

Well the little bugger is still there, and it hurts. Not only are stye's painful but once they swell up they continually rub on your eye ball causing your eye to water and eventually to swell. Now I already have huge eye bags, they look like I am carrying a set of luggage under my eyes, so when they swell, well my eye bags get eye bags. Not a pretty sight. I look like I have a lizard eye. I wake up in the morning with crust in my eyelashes from my eye watering at night.

At least I can console myself that it is not as bad as last year when I got red eye. My youngest son came home from school complaining that his eye was sore. I didn't think much about it until the next morning he woke up with red eye and dutifully told me that his two friends have red eye and had passed it along to the rest of their families. Nothing like sharing I say. I let him stay home from school so he wouldn't spread it around to his classmates and I went off to work. Once reaching work my eye felt funny and started to get itchy.

By the end of the day my eye was red , watery and itchy which was unfortunate as I had to work late. I was supposed to go to one of our Day Spas and show prospective franchises around the spa, so at eight o'clock at night I was walking around Ikano Power House wearing my sunglasses so as not to scare off the potentials and spread the cheer to the therapists.

That night I got home and thanked my son for sharing. The next morning I got up and my eye was swollen shut. When I finally managed to pry my eye open my eye bags had eye bags on top of my eye bags not to mention I looked like I was bleeding from my eye. Needles to say I called in sick and my son and I went off to visit the doctor. The next day it had spread to my other eye but not as severe. After about five days it cleared up and luckily didn't spread to the rest of the family.

So I guess a little stye in my eye is nothing compared to red eye. I'll live to tell the tale but it sure does hurt like a bitch.
