Eye Problem and Solution

It all started with this allergy that I have on my face - I rub and scratch so much that I ground off the hair by eyes and that's when the problem started.

One day I got carried away and scratched too hard and hit my eye with my toe nail. It hurt for a few minutes but then it went away so it didn't give it another thought.

About a week later, I found that I had to squint to use that right eye, and it didn't go un-noticed by my friends that I live with.

They thought I had a weed seed or something like that in it that was causing me to squint, or that I scratched it on a blade of grass when we go running in the field behind the house, but no, it had to be much worse than that. It was infected and cut pretty deep.

After several home remedies like eye wash and saline solution, my friends decided to take me to see the doctor when their best efforts failed and I continued to rub my face in the gravel drive way. Not a good thing.

Of course the local doc got right to the point and sent us to a eye specialist in Milwaukee. They performed some kind of magic on me and sent me home. It wasn't a big deal as it was day surgery so my friends dropped me off in the morning and then picked me up in the afternoon. The instructions were I had to wear this hood for a month so I wouldn't damage the eye again or make a bad thing worse.

Of course, this all cost money, and I don't have a penny to my name. I have rely on charity from my friends so I have to watch my step. I know it was expensive as one of my friends said on the way home from the doctors he could have gotten a new dog for what is cost and thrown this old one away. Now I'm not a genius or anything, but it doesn't take rocket science to figure out I have to lay low for awhile and do what I'm told.

So like most all things in this life, when a problem has a solution you have to comply to the rules of the solution or suffer the consequences. I guess I didn't mind it so much after I got used to it. it was colorful and it provided some comfort as a semi-privacy shield from my annoying relatives, and I didn't wind up at the docs again getting the 'good by juice'.

(really, I think he was just kidding about getting the new one) heh
