So I went to the eye clinic.. that was an experience. I filled out a bunch of paperwork, I waited a really long time, and then finally, I was taken back to the examination room where I was asked a bunch of questions, then told to wait longer, and then an eye doctor came in and looked at my eyes. She put some numbing stuff in my eyes. I couldn't feel a thing and it was interesting.
Well it turns out that I have a sty in my eye that got infected. Yuck. So I had to get some antibiotic cream and I have to put a hot compress on my eye like... 6 times a day. So yeah. It's nothing to worry over.
That appointment is costing me almost $400. Boo. I can't afford that. I'll probably only make $600 by the time school lets out and I have other expenses I have to pay for each month too.

Grossness.
You're probably going to hate seeing
this. Last night my eye was irritated like I had an eyelash or something in it, so I was rubbing it when I realized that my eyelid was really tender to touch so I went to look in the mirror to see if there was something in my eye and I found a large red, pussy, oozing bump. yep. Check out the picture.
Lovely... huh? And as you can see, my eye is very bloodshot, and you can even see the spot where the puss was oozing out. (and I even cleaned it before I took the picture because it was driving me nuts and itching and hurting)
so... My eyelid is also swollen and puffy, but it's not terrible, I can still see out of it. My vision gets a little blurry when my eye starts to water.
Also right underneath my eye is a little raw and sore because I don't want to touch my eye, but it's like I have a stream of tears so I keep wiping it.
I went to the nurse to see what she recommended (will it go away? or do I need to get to a doctor ASAP?) I have an appointment for tomorrow morning at 10:30 at an eye specialist clinic. I hope it doesnt cost too much money. Bethel's insurance will only cover $80. I'll also probably get an antibiotic.... I dont have the money for this right now.
But God is good and I trust him.
