I Got a Stye In My Eye

For the past 2 weeks now I have been fighting with a Stye in my eye. What a crappy thing to have. up until about yesterday my eye has been basically half shut and all kinds of swollen. Even today people have mentioned that my eye still looked bad. I just have to tell them that it looks pretty much healed to me although I know it isn't completely. So the first couple days of this thing were terrible. It was really painful but now it is just a great big annoyance. One day I won't have to deal with stupid eye thing.

On a side note eyes have not been kind to people working here at Eagle Gate College lately. At least those of us working at the downtown location. Not too long ago one lady had some bubble on her eye ball. It was pretty gross, she had to get it lanced. Then right before I got my stye another coworker first thought she had a sinus infection but her antibiotics didn't help her, she had alot of tests done and it was determented that the muscles around her eyes were all inflamed and infected. So needless to say, not a very good stretch of luck with the eyes recently here at the EGC.

One other thought, Why would you call something on your eye a name that rhymes. Every time I have had to tell people if have a stye the very next thing people say is " You have a Stye in you Eye?" I just don't get it.
