The day my left eye went red and I saw blurr...

Yesterday I put in my contact and I felt a strange sting in my left eyes....damn! I thought I scratched my cornea. Anyway, I adjusted the lens..peered through and it felt okay..or erm...so so. A few hours passed and a friend called me for lunch. My left eye was not feeling too good so I decided to remove it before heading to meet him. I asked my friend what it looked like and he said it wasn't too bad. I put some of my eye drops to try to remedy them, but alas, my eyes were starting water more and my eyes continued getting redder (is there such a word?). As it turns out, I have red eye, an infection. I'm so bummed out by this cause I have my book launch/signing in Macau tomorrow. I had to find someone to head over to Macau to deliver the banners and signage. Meanwhile, I've been taking medicine and dropping stuff into my sore eyes to combat the bacteria. It's still blurry when I look out through my left eye....but it will have to do. So it's back to my glasses for tomorrow and no drinking alcohol. Still, I should be fine (so long as there isn't too much smoke at Bex....). But before my day went by, I went out and bought antiseptic hand wash. Our bodies can be so fragile and sensitive....
