That prickling needle-like pain

[icarusancalion]

That prickling needle-like pain tells me I failed in my aim to not get conjunctivitis in my right eye as well.

Arrgh. There goes my Big Bang fic.

Ouch.

Fun experiment: try to write the rest of the story using only your touch typing skills. See what kinds of gibberish you come up with. Count your typos. Fun for the whole family.

[icarusancalion]

You think that'll count for the last 10k words? :D

[enemyfrigate]

Not only can you do that for 10,000 words, but you can tell readers that it's all a CODE and that there's a prize for deciphering it.

[icarusancalion]

Heh.

Yes, but I can tell the mod that?

[iibnf]

Well, fuck. Do you have a lot of audio books to listen to?

[icarusancalion]

Mostly I'm bugging family and friends with phone calls. Till they beg off.

Ugh. Didn't they (er. if you went to a doctor?) have you start putting drops in the uninfected eye to stave off infection? It's been a long time since my last bout with it, but I remember that even though I did end up with it in both eyes, the second one was way less horrible than the first because it was being medicated before it was symptomatic in the first place. (Course, given the nastiness of the first one, it's a low standard to be less gross than that...)

[icarusancalion]

I have no insurance and can't afford to go to an eye doctor.

I do have drops now though.

[whizzy]

Blargh. The last time I went to the eye doctor for an infection, he gave me a prescription, then told me the infection was probably viral and antibiotics wouldn't do any good. I was like... uh, thanks?

[icarusancalion]

Sheesh. Way to go overuse of antibiotics.

[icarusancalion]

You sound like someone who has insurance who can afford to go to a doctor.

[icarusancalion]

Oh. I'm sorry.

I just got the drops last night. My eyes are doing better.

My boss treats this as if it were my fault, and therefore I deserve no consideration. She's frustrated that I'm taking any time off at all to recover. Tried to pressure me to go to a doctor on my own dime. Not out of concern but just to get me back in the gears, because I was messing up her scheduling. "What am I supposed to do about the schedule?!"

I have more serious medical problems that I'm neglecting because I don't have insurance. Sigh.
