Albino Eye Boogers

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

I woke up Saturday morning, and my eyelid looked like someone had taken a Louisville Slugger to it over night. It was puffy, red and raw. A trip to the doctors (driving one-eyed, may I add) got me diagnosed with conjunctivitis (which sounds much more serious than Pink Eye) and a prescription for eyedrops. Three drops, three times per day for one week. The liquid is white (not clear!), so after I drop the drops in my eyes (both eyes, 'cause you know that eye infection stuff is real contagious), it clots on my eyelashes and looks like white cake frosting rimming my eyes. However, that’s not the really bizarrishly cool thing about this…

It’s the Albino Eye Boogers.

As a side effect of the conjunctivitis, I have collected a fair amount of eye boogers, even though I clean my eyes with a Facial Tissue quite frequently. Because of the white eye drops, I now have Albino Eye Boogers. (Is that a cool band name, or what?)

Surely a scrapbook can’t be far behind.

I thought I had Pink eye once. Turned out to be a piece of steel embedded in my cornea that had shredded my eyelid. After the piece of metal was dug out, the rust had to be removed with a small drill. I do not recommend this.
