so--- eye update-- "allergic conjunctivitis". hmmm. you'd think that a person like me.. who googles every possible medical term under the sun, would know what that was. but noop. didn't. not til yesterday. first time i heard it was when Gypsy said it in the comments. then i take soulkid to the eye doctor-- it was easier to get in there then the GP-- cuz it's "flu season".. lovely. so we go in there-- and here's something else i hate-- since it kinda seems this week i have a runnin list of things i kinda hate on... is when ya got to a doctor and they THEY ask YOU.. what's goin on.. or what do YOU think it is?
well.. lemmee ask YOU dr asshat-- if i KNEW-- would i be HERE.. paying YOU to tell ME?
ERG!
so the friggin "nurse" (?) i don't know-- asks first-- the one who did like a little eye exam .. "so what do YOU think is goin on"?
to a 13 year old! but leave it to soulkid! :))
"i think i have bacterial conjunctivitis". i HAD to laugh. she sounded so educated-- but at the same time.. i don't know--- it was just kinda weird. for me.
so anyhow-- we got through the exam etc.. then go in and the reg dr comes in.. same question.. i chuckled and told soulkid don't even say it-- although-- i guess i shoulda just left her alone-- because as it turned out-- she is apparently smarter than i give her credit for-- and 2) smarter than ME. i already knew that-- to an extent at least. it just sounds funny to hear a teenager self diagnose themself with a term that you have never even heard. maybe.
so she said she thought she had pink eye.
i felt bad afterwards-- that i stifled her intelligence btw. i won't do that again.
so-- she goes through the exam with the doc---
guess what--
it wasn't "bacterial conjunctivitis" BUT it is "allergic conjunctivitis"... which is basically the same thing-- only not contagious. not an infection. so she got a rx for drops, and can go back to school today.
she is of course upset that she cannot wear makeup for a few days-- and tried to get out of going to school this morning-- but i wasn't fallin for that little trick. her dad almost did. but not EYE . :))
so anyhow--
yesterday was busy-- but it was sporadically so. make sense?
i accomplished a lot-- but in bits and pieces.. and i even tossed a nap in there-- me and soulkid both did. we were tiahd.
hubby cooked some damned good burgers on the smoker after work. along with some chicken. there was only enough chicken for soulkid, but we both snuck a bite just to see how it turned out .. holy cow-- it was awesome! we have wanted to get a "big green egg" for like 7 or 8 years-- and finally got one-- we have only cooked a few things on it so far-- but i'm tellin ya-- it makes the BEST tasting food EVER!
so anyways-- i gotta get motivated here ... or at least try to.... so i will catch up with y'all later-- hopefully not as late as yesterday---
hope you all have happy days in your worlds today--
i will try--

I never used any one elses makeup after I found out that you can get syphilis of the eye.
EWWWWWWW!!!
What size egg did ya get?
I am stilllll not back to normal. man this flu kicked my ass. I'm not ignoring you. I just am too fuzzy headed to think. Don't know if it's the illness or the meds for so long.
I'm trying to go med free. But the coughing is just too bad. ack!!
Whats yer pod?
i told ya they won't take braces off til they are paid in full. Braces jail. lol
I had to cough up 600 at the end to get mine off. :(
I must go wash my gross night sweat hair and get busy. I'm weak and tired and I just frekin got up an hour ago. bleh!!!
have a good one,love me
Poor Soul Kid!
Thank God for Google, right? haha
I looked up my symptoms when I had that staph infection and told the doc which type I thought it was, and she said "you are exactly right". I felt so smart! lol
Ohhhh I love to have one smoker too! :)
One day, one day, I will get my fence up, some bark down, do up a little garden with chairs, then place a green egg there... ohhhhh! and that will be some 10 years later I guess! :)
You are just too clever this morning, not so with eye. LOL
I loved this post, and I hope your day is awesome!
I want some of soulkid's chicken!Right now.
xo
:)
heya! Glad it was allergic, rather than bacterial, conjunctivitis. Any idea what might have caused it? blech!
And I'm coming over to your house for smoker food! When I to my family reunions we live on food from the smoker...drunk chicken (beer can up his kazoo along with Italian dressing) YUM. and pulled pork. k. Gonna go have lunch now that I've worked up an appetite. Have a great hump day!!
r.
Don't you just hate it when the people we hope are medical experts ask for a self diagnosis. My GP learned a long time ago to not go there.
At least Soulkid learned a valuable lesson from this. Having to go to school without makeup will make her remember this lesson for a long, long time.
One time my eye was driving me crazy. Then I realized I had a hair in my eye. My hair is really long. Yup, a piece of hair about two feel long was all up in my eyeball. Nasty McNasty!!!
I hope soulkid feels better and is sporting glam eye makeup before long.
BTW- It's amazing how much slower the work day goes on day number #2.
Syphilis of the eye? GOod gravy!!
Glad to read that Soultween/teen's eye isn't the crusty pus that requries washing every crevice in the house and then some.
Get some rest, and hopefully you'll have some extra chicken next time around for you and SoulHub!
Always,
Crusty~
I'm looking at the Syphilis of the eye thing and am freaking out a bit...gross!!!!!
I guess I'll have to read down to find out what soulkid is allergic to...
I don't blame her about not wanting to go to school without makeup. I refuse to go anywhere without it anymore...even when I'm only wearing sweats.
Isn't it amazing all the stuff you can learn about on the Internet. If Soul-kid is into wearing eye make-up, make sure she gets the good stuff or hypo allergenic so this won't happen again. And tell her NEVER to share. OMG I still have flashbacks of nightmare days when my daughter was a teenager. The teen years age parents more than anything else, I'm sure.
You do have the most.....unique experiences:) I guess having a kid will do that for you. The whole scene at the doc's office cracked me up. Maybe next time you'll just go ahead and let her outsmart the doctor:D
leave it to YOU oldy to bring up syphilis of the EYE! LOL
MY EYE!!! where the hell did "MY EYE" come from anyway? we all say it and don't even know why.
we got a large egg. the one with feet. we almost got a medium with a stand-- but got a better deal with this one and hubby will build a stand out of wood...like bos , kinda.
how'd you get the flu anyhow--
you don't have bronchitis do ya? when i get sick like that-if it gets in my chest---it turns to bronchitis----cuz i'm an evil smoker-
pod-- now-- is to answer these comments and put my old lady ass to bed.
ugh. sucks gettin old man.
hiya jlee--
yep--no tellin where i'd be without google :))
it's always nice to outsmart the doc isn't it?
soulman did that with my dr not long ago-- i haven't been back to that knucklehead since! the dr i mean. :))
soulman cured me!!
motha--
i can picture a little place like that. sounds kinda like my mom in laws . she had hummingbirds out there once when i was visiting --
ok... back to reality
how was your day?
hi jamie--
k-- i'll pack you up some soulkid chicken asap and get it out on fed ex asap.
night-
ox
hi R--
pretty sure makeup caused the eye thing..
ever had brisket on a smoker? soulmans specialty is brisket.
right now we have a big ole pork butt in the fridge waitin for satahday! too bad soulmans ice storm curse will befall us. ugh. i told him to stop sayin that-- now it's comin. ice. maybe it won't be real bad. but it'll be bad enough for me.
:((
hope things are ok your way. rough day huh.
hi mary--
yup-- i think you already know my opinion of doctors by now :))
and yep well, this was an allergy so soulkid will hopefully learn from this that it could be a lot worse-- and not share again. lucky it's just an allergy.
anyhow have a good night.
fostah--- :))
that would drive me insane-- a two foot long hair in MY EYE!
ahhh.
you could put an eye out!!
btw-- that just reminded me-- once , a long time ago-- i was on some kind of work detail thing in the navy, and there was like six of us riding in the back of a pick up on base-- and something flew in MY EYE- i had to go to medical and get my eye all numbed up so they could dig it out.. it was a pebble or piece of metal or somethin off the road... it left a scar on my eyeball..a red dot.. still there.
anyhow-- just thought i'd share that before i forgot about it. :))
oh soulkid will prolly have her stupid makeup on tomorrow-- she'll skip the bad eye and just drag her bangs down over it-- just wait-- i'll tell ya if she does. :))
hope your day picked up speed.
Well aren't I clever and I didn't even need to see the patient to reach a diagnosis. My dog has allergic conjunctivits and as soon as we stop putting in the ointment it comes back. It drives the poor little thing crazy.
hey crusty--
yep good thing-- she woulda had a herd if she had a drippy eye all week.
and yep-- that chicken was soo good.one bite was like just enough to piss ya off , ya know.
have a good night=
you know doctors... even the young uns know more...LOL
glad it is not contagious though. not being able to wear make-up must be a bitch though...hmmmm... here coffee bean only has had swimmer's eye..though she might have had a slight case of pink eye when she was younger...no fun..and things cooked in the green egg...sounds WONDERFUL! feed me!
EE-- did you just google syphilis of the eye?? that is funny. i don't have the nerve to look at such a thing. i think i would like to go the rest of my life just oblivious, thank you.
my sis wwas like that about make up-- she wouldn't take out the trash without makeup on--- hmm.. come to think of it-- either will soulkid-- it's all a conspiracy to get out of chores isn't it?
:))
ahh..and if ya didnt find it -- it was makeup-
hey charlotte--
yes i know-- i think that's the lesson I had to learn here-- of course the one that costs damn money. :((
ugh.
night-
hiya Portia---
yes i will let her outsmart the doctor-- i bet she could too--
i'm so damn sick of doctors man. or would that be mon? :))
how ya doin anyhow-- i hope you had a good day--
i will catch you tomorrow-- i spose-- i am BUI -- first time in a while.. but i needed to get caught up in heah.
night/
yes gypsy -- you had it right on...
doctah gypsy--
your dog has it eh?
i can't believe i never heard the word. that's just a bit embarrassing.
but oh well.
live and learn i reckon eh?
well-- off to bed i go.
see ya tomorrow--
yankee-
you snuck in---
i've had swimmers ear-- but hmm.. don't think i ever heard of swimmers eye.
guess i'm just not an eye person.
hmmm.
all i know is i can't seeee.
i did however get all three of us eye appointments made when i took soulkid in. march 3-- we will all find out how blind we are. woo hoo.
so anyhow-- have you eaten off a egg before? there is just nothin like it huh.
when we got ours-- some guy was buyin like some fancy giant 3000.00 gas grill.. the guy who worked there suggested the big green egg-- and he didn't want it-- you could tell he just wanted the biggest grill on the block-- but he won't get the flavor he would off this. and the salesman told him that. oh well.. a year from now the egg will look like new--and his stainless steel grill-- although it looks really really nice-- will be weathered. and the food from gas is really nothin like charcoal.
he just don't know what he's missin.
my sis has had hers fro a couple or three years and hers still looks new.
anyhow. i need to go to bed-- i took a risk and took the laptop to bed... first time in a loong time-- i could strangle-- ack! :))
take it ez GS
Oh, Soulkid goes to the internet and google about it too? My son does it all the time and spooks himself out with his findings. At one stage, he was worried that he had cancerous symptoms when it was something so minor. These kids..
My little Rusty gets conjunctivitis pretty often too. Hope your kid gets better soon so she can apply make up again. You know how important such things are to kids this age...
Happy Valentine's Day.
What's for dinner?
hi blur--
soulkid didn't google it-- she actually just knew what it was.. cuz one of her friends had it last year.
sooo-- she's just a smarty pants.
and like i said-- i just have a feeling-- she's gonna wear mear makeup today-- and hide her naked bad eye with her bangs;; it oughtta be quite a site--
we'll see.
have a good day
oh ps-- it's usually me who self diagnosis myself with all the terminal illnesses around here-- which turn out to be far less than i think.
google can be very evil actually. :))
latah
hiya summah
happy v-day back atcha...
how'd you know we'd be eating? oh cuz maybe that's all we evah do??
:))
ummm.. we haven't even mentioned it. not sure if we'll go out-- which really i think i would rather not-- or grill-- which sounds better.
soooo... i do not know-- if we do grill, it'd have to be something fast.. maybe chicken. it really was good.
sounds good to me.
i'll get back to you on that.
what about you??/
any plans?
have a good one!
