So I don’t have goop in my eye anymore. But it is still swollen, red, and constantly watering. Fortunately it looks as though I have Allergic Conjunctivitus which is non-contagious, although I admit it also sounds like Viral Conjunctivitus simply because I only have it in one eye. But I read that cold symptoms (which I actually had on Friday) frequently come just before the eye goes red, which is what happened to me. Which means I DIDN’T get pink eye at the campground – it most likely was the middle of last week when I was somehow exposed to an allergen that my body didn’t like.
The swelling has gone down (yesterday morning I looked like I’d been in a fight) but today I’m only wearing eye makeup on the good eye so I look absolutely ridiculous here at work. My bosses haven’t seen me yet since I’ve been holed up in my office.
Ooh, sorry about the pink eye. I’ve had it and it ain’t pretty. Or fun.
