Hi you lot hope you all caught something shiny this morning.... I did. It's named "Pinkeye."
Sheesh, I am shocked it took this long, I mean working in pedes and all. It's only in one eye at the moment, but that could change at any point. I am gonna try to get an appointment tomorrow morning and I DID pick up my
rta at the post office, not sure if I will build it or not. I forgot how TRULY painful pinkeye can be.
I read up on the home remedies but they all seemed terrifying. No, I do NOT wish to put a poultice of "Tumeric, ground fennel, chamomile and raw honey on my eye to see if it "fixes it." That sounds like a remedy for those who don't have pinkeye. I would like some nice, modern antibiotics. That, and for kids to wash their hands after wiping their butts.
But, such is life. Evil Doc IDK if like the DOCTOR had more words with him but he was like UBER polite today and actually asked me to SEE a patient which has happened 0 times out of the million times he's worked with me. Hmm. If I was his boss, though, I woulda called him and said, "Get your crud straight with the, um Social Worker she has GOODS on you."
I also very delicately asked my "Head Boss Lady at Site" "Um, so, I heard there was, well, I heard talk about my Friday productivity? On Friday?" She got SUPER flustered and I was like, "Oh no, it's all good, it happens, it's just that in my other site, well if I had no shows, I could see other patients and just let the MAs know?"
She was like, heh, super fine with that. You could see the wheels turning.
But today was all sports physicals (cant' see the) and Birth control (can't see them) so it was like a long time for me to just contemplate how my eye hurt. So, that was a win.
Advil works but I didn't have any. Sigh.
