Day 2 (Why me?)

Today was a weird day.
I woke up this morning and my right eye was swollen shut. I seriously couldn't open it at all. This had happened once before a couple of weeks ago.
I called my mom and asked her what to do. She said that I had pink eye and that I could use the over the counter stuff that we had bought when this had happened before but that I should probably go to the doctor's office here on campus.
I called them and made an appointment and then decided to go back to sleep for a while until the appointment. I was NOT going to go to class with one eye swollen shut. Not only was it very painful but it couldn't see out of it. I literally felt handicapped.
11:00 rolled around and I got up and got dressed... I had a 15 minute walk all the way across campus... Ever wanted to be invisible? I definitely did today.
I left the apartment and walked very quickly to the office, hoping and praying all the way there that I wouldn't run into anyone I knew.
I got there and checked in. A couple of minutes late I got called into the back and the doctor came in to check my eyeball out. He asked if I wore contacts and if I had a cold. Yes to the first, no to the second.
He pried open my swollen eye and made me look at a very bright light (Yowch! No thank you) and then told me that it was infected but it might be something a bit more.
He said that sometimes contacts can cut off the oxygen supple to a cornea and that's what they had seemed to do to my eye. He said no contacts for a while and gave me a prescription for some antibiotic drops. I got them from the pharmacy and then I had the 15 minute (seemed like eternity) march home.
Luckily, I didn't run into anyone as I hurried home.
When I got to my place, I emailed my teachers apologizing for not being in class and explaining the situation. I got my homework done and that's pretty much all I did all day today. It was not the most exciting day and hopefully I won't have another one like it anytime soon.
The antibiotics worked very well and my eye isn't as swollen anymore (just a little bit) and it's still a bit pink but at least it's not bright red like it was earlier.
So classes tomorrow (FIVE of them!) and it should be fun.
Goodnight!
Love,
