Eye Infection (by sarah)
For the last week I have been suffering an eye infection - this is slightly different from the conjuctervitis that Al and Jean had over Christmas. I got something in my eye and it started weeping and producing very pale gunk under the lid and feeling all scratchy. Only in the left eye. I then put in some eye ointment and my eye lids and the bit over bone between the eyebrow and lid puffed right up. The eye itself went very bloodshot.
I was allergic to the ointment - sigh.
Anyway it has only stopped weeping today though is still producing some gunk. I unseccesfully tried to take photos of my own eye - they didn't work but here they are anyway!
After three days with the swelling getting worse I really did start to look like I'd been in a fight - still do!
The pics were taken before I had the reaction to the ointment!
