Just my luck. I got this stupid virus in my left eye a couple weeks ago. I can't remember what the doctor said it was, but it wasn't Pink Eye... but close. Or maybe it was and I just don't have the wake-up-with-crusties part of Pink Eye.
Anyway... I got rid of it, tossed out both my contacts (just in case) and started fresh after it went away. Now it's in my right eye. I know it's highly contagious by contact, but how in the world did I get it after a couple weeks? I washed my hands like crazy, I only took out my new contacts once since then (scold me later), I haven't even used the same contact case I did for the infected ones. We washed our bedding, when my eye was infected, I was careful not to touch it, I'd use tissue if I had to touch it. I had to stay home today because I couldn't drive in to work without my eye watering all over everything (potentially contaminating everything) and others. I ended up getting a stomach ache (probably from the pain in my tooth... pain makes me nauseous), so I would have come home anyway. I'm a baby when it comes to stomach stuff. ick.
It just seems like I'm always getting sick. It makes me SUPER freaked about anything terminal. With my horrible immune system, anything serious would progress rapidly. I may be strong mentally, and know I want to live... but my body isn't giving me any signs that it would be in cahoots with my survival plans. It makes me believe that some disease will be the death of me, and then I'll get scared that I'll contract it in some random way and I'll be scared to ever get in the situation. For example: getting AIDS from the dentist. I remember a lady got it that way some time back (it ruined her marriage and what not before they found out about it).
So, in case you didn't realize how this post went... I went from an viral problem in my eye, to potentially dying from AIDS I got from my dentist...
And that is the thought process of a borderline Hypochondriac. I say borderline, because I still go to the dentists, despite the .0000000001% chance she happens to have HIV/AIDS and has a cut somewhere, AND she bleeds into an open cut in my mouth... awesome.

Sorry you are not feeling very well.
And your posts are a little bit bizarre when you are sick.
lol thanks :D. The eye thing has finally moved on to a better place [not on me].. but i think i'll wait to wear contacts until it's more convenient than glasses... Which'll probably be over the weekend.. It will be nice to be able to do all my makeup finally. I keep scaring people ;). hehe. jk.
