So my students must really, really love me. For the last two weeks (basically since Halloween) my class has been battling Pink Eye. I have been lucky. . . or had been lucky until yesterday. I woke up yesterday morning with Pink Eye. Not in just one eye, but both eyes. Double suck. Thank goodness the Wal-greens across the street from us has one of those walk-in clinics. I called to make sure they took my insurance before going over. I had to wait like 30 minutes to an hour.
The final diagnosis? Pink Eye (both eyes), ear infection (right ear), sinus infection, and a swollen tonsil. I guess when my body wants to get sick, it gets sick. I thought I had a really bad cold. So I'm on eye drops (which burn like mad when I put them in), Anti-biotics, and Mucinex-D. I haven't taken the Anti-biotics because I don't have a fever. The lady said, "only take these if you develop a fever, otherwise they won't work."
I have done absolutely nothing today. It's 4:30, and I just got the energy to take a long soothing bath. I've had the eye drops for 24 hours, so I'm not contagious anymore. I'll see how I feel tomorrow. Not sure if I'm going to feel up to teaching.
