Pinkeye sucks. For the first time in my 29-year life, i've contracted this affliction. I can honestly say that up until now, i was dodging a bullet. Pinkeye SUCKS. I woke up in the middle of night last night and it felt like someone had poured sand in my eye. And my eye was glued shut with all kinds of nasty yellow mook. After knocking my alarm clock and Kleenex box off the nightstand (i now understand how there is no depth perception with monocular vision), i groped blindly for the Head who was sleeping next to me. "I have pinkeye," i screeched to him. He mumbled something incomprehensible in return. "Damn it, i have PINKEYE!" i repeated. He was just not taking the situation seriously. Now i was damn sure it was pinkeye because Baby Head just got pinkeye from the Germ Farm last week, so i knew the bacteria was heading straight for me. I just never imagined it would suck this bad.
So my eye hurts, is all moopy, half-open, and well, pink. Intermixed with the yellow pus draining from it. I went to the doctor this morning and yep, its pinkeye, so i get to douse it periodically with antibiotics. The best part is that i have a luncheon with a visiting seminar speaker today. "Hi how are you? I'm diseased. Nice to meet you." I'm trying to hide the eye behind glasses and my bangs, but its still gross. And highly contagious. And uncomfortable as all holy hell. So that is my pinkeye story. Dont let it happen to you.

Oooowwwww....that sucks!!! I had pinkeye when I was in high school. One of the worst fucking infections ever! I am still paranoid about getting it again. I hope you are healed by now and that it didn't spread to both eyes, as mine of course did. Yeah, I'm not so sure about that whole daycare thing. It does not sound worth it to me.
