Remember when I had the flu? I was diagnosed with the flu on a Wednesday night, exactly a week before my anatomy test. Well, yesterday was the next Wednesday before an anatomy test and I developed a swollen eye.
I noticed it last night because every time I blinked, it hurt. I touched the eyelid and could feel it swelling up, but I decided to wait until this morning to see what would happen.
Well, of course it was more swollen this morning. At first I was mortified and did not want to go to school or work but Gray finally convinced me that it wasn’t too noticeable. By the time I started at work, the swelling had gone down considerably. I tried to make an appointment to see health services, but they had none available for today.
I came home and pretty much passed out on the bed for two hours. Now my eye is a bit more swollen.
Can you tell which eye is swollen?
If it is not better by tomorrow, I’m going to health services for real. I’m pretty sure it’s a sty. Awesome.
The point of my story is that, once again, I have a health related issue going on a week before my test… weird huh? If it happens again before the next test, I’m going to be freaked out.

i get sty's in my eye everytime i get pneumonia. they suck! have you tried hot water washrag compresses? they always help mine go away, but they will probably give you a steroid shot and an antibiotic. feel better soon
That seems to happen to me a lot. Getting sick JUST when I can't be! It's stress. :)

I did try the hot water rags twice, but what seemed to help most was washing my eye with baby shampoo. They were both suggestions I found on the internet and my sty is pretty much going away! Thanks Kaylee. :)
Yeah, I'm not sure why I got the sty, I'm just thankful it did not interfere with studying for my test. Usually I hold up all my stress/sickness until a vacation or day off. :)
