the er and other things...

So I mentioned this eye thing that's been somewhat irritated the last week or so. I went to the dr on Wed. It didn't get much better over the weekend. In fact it got worse. It was really bad last night. The burning and the itching - it's swollen on the outside and inside. So this morning I woke up and had trouble opening it. It had yellow discharge. Which I didn't know started last night when I had the cold wash rag but it was too dark to see. So after Carl got back from therapy we decide to go to Urgent Care because I really didn't want to go to the ER. Well I did all the tests again. I flunked the eye test worse this time than I did on Wed. He said it was either Celliulitus or an infection on the inside of my eye, which would be really bad. So he sent me to the ER.
We have a new hospital up the street that just opened less than a year ago. Wow! I was impressed they took my right in. I was one of few people. I got checked throughly.They did a ct scan right away. It's at a stage 2 infection. I can treat at home. Stage 3 and I'm in trouble and get admitted. So I am glad we didn't wait. We don't know the cause of it yet, except they some times it can't start with allergies and then progresses. It is VERY contagious. I probably shouldn't be typing but I'm on my computer and I've washed my hands really good. I have to see an ophthalmologists first thing in the morning. He may or may not clear me to go back to work. We'll see. So that's it for now, hopefully I'll be able to go back to work by Wed!
