Well, I had to stay home from school today. First day back to school from March Break and I am at home. The positive side of this situation, I got a bonus add-on to my March Break and got to sleep in. I slept in till 11 this morning, it was quite nice I must say. The negative side of this situation, I was all caught up on my school work, and now I am behind again. Hopefully I won't be behind too much and can get caught up easily, but it's not something I look forward too.
Why did I stay home from school today? Well, last night while I was sleeping, if that's what you want to call it. To be honest, I was more or less tossing and turning every hour and could not exactly fall asleep. My left eye was burning and watering like crazy! I don't know if something was inside of it and I could not see it to get it out, or maybe it was just dry and lacking natural tears. Whatever it was it was very uncomfortable. When I would try to open my eyes, I couldn't because my left eye was so irritated that whenever I tried to open it, water would just pour out the side. This has never happened to me before and I did not know what to do.
Getting annoyed with myself, I asked my boyfriend Alex to take a look at it. He told me that it looked somewhat swollen and bloodshot. Probably from the tears pouring out and from me rubbing them away with my hand. He suggested that maybe it was an infection. But I thought it was highly doubtful. So I thought I would ask his mom if she could look at it. She thought that it could possibly be a stye, but that was not it. After taking a look, she suggested I put some eye-drop gel in it. I had never used an eye-dropper before so I did not know what it was going to feel like. I got her to drop it into my eye and it felt kind of cool. However I don't think I could have done it myself!
After getting the gel into my eye, I went back to bed. Thankfully it did help to sooth it. When going back to bed, it was 5:30 in the morning and I had to get up in the next hour for school. When my alarm went off, my eye was still slightly burning. I decided to not go to school because I did not want to sit in class with a swollen bloodshot eye that dripped water. Also I thought it would be best not to apply make-up to my eye either, which was another reason as to why I did not go. However one more dosage of the eye-dropper gel did the trick!
My eye is back to the way it's supposed to be, and I am happy for that! :)
