Ow, my eye! I'm not supposed to get pudding in it!

Nothing like an unexpected trip to convenient care to set the tone for a Friday night. Yesterday afternoon I walked outside, a gust of wind whipped up and blew sand in my eyes. Now, 999 times out of a thousand, you just blink a couple times and your wonderful tear ducts work their magic. Right

DO NOT GET EELS IN.

That's funny; my one and only trip to convenient care was also eye-and-sand related. I got a wodge of sand in my eye at the dog park due to an overenthusiastic Mastiff making an unscheduled stop about two feet in front of me, which threw up a TON of sand, which blew in my eye. I actually managed to get it all out, but when I woke up the next morning my eye was all swole up. Swole up like I had a second set of lips, which is neither attractive nor particularly comforting. So I toddled off to convenient care where I was told that I had a clogged tear duct. No infection, thank goodness, but as I'm certain that the sand at the dog beach is probably a petri dish chock-full o' interesting bacteria, I was very happy to have things checked out.

Yay health care!

Yay health care, indeed! I briefly considered alternative home remedies, but then Mark told me he didn't want to stick his tongue in my eye. Sheesh. You'd think after being married five years...
