Plague Puppet

Well, it would seem that the 'mild infection' that I was diagnosed with last Friday has an official name: acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis (AHC).

The doctor I saw this afternoon about it called it a 'Three Doctor Disease':

You initially go see your doctor about the problem. They prescribe something and you go home.
The problem doesn't go away quickly so you go see another doctor. They prescribe more medication to deal with the problem and send you home.
When the problem becomes acute, you go back to the doctor for the third time and they end up telling you that you'll just have to suffer through it since there isn't anything they can do about it.

Great....my left eye looks like someone jammed a cat into it (maybe I'll put up a photo or two...maybe later), it hurts like a SOB, and there's not a damn thing they can do about it.

The bonus is that I'm starting to feel the same symptoms in my right eye; the opthamologist says that the AHC virus will spread to the other eye no matter what I do. I'll just have to ride the storm out.

The one 'positive' thing about this is that I can now tease my kid with my left hand (the one that constantly rubs the infected eye) with what I'm calling 'Pink-Eye the Plague Puppet'.

The suck thing is that when the right eye gets acute, that my vision will be blurred - possibly enough that I'll have to have someone drive me places. The last thing I need is to wrap my truck around a phone pole cause I didn't see the darn thing....

just keep your eyes hydrated so that rubbing them doesn't scratch the corneas, ok? That will make it A HELL OF A LOT worse.

Pink Eye the Plague Puppet, huh? Sounds like a bad porno name :)

uh... Mikey... that photo... OMG... that looks NAAAAASTY. Good luck with that. And, yeah... keep your eyes hydrated. Having to go through eye infections because of scratched corneas on top of everything else would be... less than enjoyable.

Dude, that looks so much worse than what you described to me on the phone.
