Yesterday morning I woke up and my eye was gunky. It itched, was dry, and was red. My first thought was pink eye. I decided to go to the Take Care Clinic at Walgreens after work to get some meds and hoped that I wouldn’t have to miss work on Friday. Why? Because if you don’t work the day before and the day after a holiday, you don’t get paid for the holiday. So I went through work without touching my eyes, got my car (I had it inspected and the oil changed) and went over to Walgreens. I was seen by the nurse practicioner who looked at my eye and said “you might have iritis. Go to the ER.” So I went to the ER. I waited FOREVER and finally say a physician’s assistant who said iritis hurt like hell and my eye would be practically swollen shut if I had it. She numbed my eye and looked at it with dye and nothing was wrong. She gave me an ointment for my eye and ordered me off work today. I have a doctor’s excuse, but I don’t think that’s going to help when it comes to getting paid for Monday. *sigh*
Was that the end to my excitement? Of course not. For the third day in a row today I have a terrible pain in my neck on the right side. Tylenol helps, but doesn’t make it go away. Last night as I’m trying to go to sleep I get a charlie horse in my right calf. It too hurts today. I have to wash my bed tomorrow and hope I feel I’m up for church cause Tom wants me to give them a tithe. I don’t feel like going anywhere. I put the ointment in my eye and I can’t see cause its blurry in that eye (my left one). I just want the pain to go away. Is that so much to ask?
