I noticed that my last post was about the incident at the nail salon...here's an update. The fungus spread to the other half of my toenail. My left toe looks like the nail of an 80 year old man that refuses to admit his thick yellow toenails are a problem. Good news is I went to the doctor and hopefully this 2 year long ordeal will be over in a few months. I bet this is why I'm still single...I can't wear nail polish on any of my toes because the Jublia eats right through it...classy! Who wants a girl with bare toenails, missing half a nail, and a fungus?!?!?
Keeping in theme with the fungus...last night after I removed my mascara I felt something in my eye. So what did I do?!? I rubbed it...and rubbed it....and rubbed it. Not what you should do, but I'm addicted to eye rubbing. Nothing came out except some tears...no I wasn't crying...there's no crying in having some foreign object wedged under your eyelid. It felt like I had one tiny, annoying grain of sand up in there. I thought that going to bed might help...it helps with everything else I'm trying to get rid of or avoid...like the massive amount of chocolate in my kitchen from Teacher Appreciation Week or the mound of laundry that needs to be done or the headache I've had for 4 weeks while being on the CG Nutrition Challenge. I was wrong going to bed didn't help, I could feel that log moving around...I wish it had been a log because I would have yanked it out. I needed something to flush my eye out...couldn't they use another word besides flush...it's not a toilet. I remembered that I had a spray bottle, so what did I do...you guessed it...I squirted my eye with a spray bottle...I held up my lid and boom...water sprayed all up in there...yeah it didn't work. The only thing that helped was a warm washcloth pressed against my closed eye...I was pressing so hard, I think I pushed my eye back...it's a joke. I woke up at one point with pain again, so I googled how to flush out your eye...I had my solution but it was going to have to wait until the morning.

I woke up and decided to flush my eye...after I flushed the toilet. The article said that I could use a cup and if I just tilted my head back I could allow the water to run into my eye. This had disaster written all over it, but the challenge was accepted. I sat on the edge of the bathtub, leaned back, held my eye open, and poured the water to my eye. It wasn't that graceful...the water ran all over my face, which then ran to my shirt and shorts. Yep...I was flushed, but my eye wasn't. I got to school...our fabulous school nurse took a look at it, and again it was flushed with some saline, but a professional. I did however have to lay on the "beds" in the nurse's office...in a dress...it was a little odd. The saline did nothing except run over my face and relieve the pain for a few minutes. I managed to go all day without rubbing...maybe my addiction is over.
I made an appointment at Pinnacle Eye Care After waiting in a burning hot room forever...the doctor came in, made me cry...again not really crying because there is no crying in having a foreign object in your eye...put some yellow dye in my eye...at least I hope it was dye. She got the tiny speck of something...not mascara...out from underneath my eyelid. When she first came in she was asking about medication I was currently taking, I forgot to mention the Jublia, but she had this high tech system that could pull up my prescriptions...I felt like she was invading my privacy, what if I had some prescription that I didn't want her knowing about...like Jublia. I had to explain why there was a steroid and Jublia listed. I told her I was training to be a body builder, and I got a toe fungus. I don't think she believed me. I really was hoping for an eye patch, but all I got was an antibiotic/steroid...body building here I come!!
