NO, NOT THE EYEBALL!! Conjunctivitis horror!  The Red Really Brings out the Green, Don'tcha think? So last night I had all these plans with a friend of mine. We were gonna get together with our writers group, then go see a play, but she never called me back. Which is really un-like her and made me incredibly sad. So I went to bed around midnight and slept for 12 hours straight. In my dream, I had an internship at K-Mart. They made me fold sweaters until my hands were red. But earlier in the dream, I was at school. Joe Meno came up to me, shook my hand and said, "Good luck, buddy," then gave me a box of ramen. They say there's only an 8% chance you can move up out of the social class you were born into. I woke up with pink eye, as you can see in the picture above. I think it spread to my eye from the rash on the back of my head, which has returned with a crusty vengance. Now, 21st century medicine, in all it's geno-nano-morphic glory, doesn't really apply to the poor and un-insured, like myself. At least not in the US. I can't call up a doctor and be like, "Hey, I've got pink eye", go in and get some antibiotics and be well in a couple of days. It would cost every penny that's in my checking account. I'd have to quit eating. I'm sure there's some kind of free clinic where I can sit in a room full of screaming children for 5 hours straight and eventually get some underpayed and disinterested nurse practitioner to write me a perscription. Do you know where said clinic is? If you do, please tell me. If not, I'll continue to try and heal myself with vitamin C pills that expired last August and a half-empty tube of tea tree oil gel. I put some tea tree oil gel in my eye and it's already less red than it was in the picture. Scientific studies have shown that tea tree oil made from Melaleuca alternifolia is a highly effective topical antibacterial.. |
