Friday Bagels and Pink Eye?
Friday is free bagel day at work. A couple of years ago I got the woman that buys the bagels to add salt bagels cuz they are my FAV! Last week I did well, I only ate HALF a bagel (3 points instead of 6) with reduced fat cream cheese. That's a step in the right direction. But the salt on the salt bagels is a little out of control (I guess that's why they are so yummy). So this week, I brought my WW bagel from home. That way I didn't feel like I was missing out (half a bagel wasn't very filling) and my WW bagel (2 points) filled my tummy. So it was a win, win for me :)
Now on to the pink eye part of the story. Last night as I was home watching TV, all of the sudden my eyes started bothering me. Both of them at the same time started itching and watering (not tear consistency though - it was more of a light gel consistency - eww, gross I know!). It felt like I had sawdust in my eyes. They just kept getting worse and worse. I flushed them with cold water to no avail. By the time I went to bed (closing my eyes completely was the only way to avoid the discomfort/pain) my eyes were almost swollen shut! This morning when I woke up my eyes were still swollen, not as bad as last night though. I got to work this morning and I guess my eye condition was very apparent! Several people have commented and a couple of people think I have pink eye. Not that they are dr's, but they do have children and have come across the situation. So now I have a dr. appt at 3:00 to find out - hopefully it's not but who knows?!?!?
