I’ve had some weird issues lately. There was the painful and torturous coughing phase from a few weeks back. There have been allergies worse than I’ve ever known. There has been strange abdomen injuries and glorious leg cramps. But the best? Is this. The bizarre incident with my eye. I think there’s something stuck under the lid but no amount of flushing or drops or compresses seems to be getting it out. So maybe I’ve cut something? Or scratched something like a cornea? Is that in your eye…your cornea? Or am I really off base?
Whatever it is - it is totally adding to my sex appeal. Don’t you think? I mean…I was hot before. The swollen feet and blotchy skin generally increases my HOTT factor by about 100 daily, but this swollen and red eye? Makes me totally irresistible. Ask my husband. He can’t keep his hands off me.
poor thing, you are a WRECK. take thee to the dr in the a.m.!! i don’t know if you can take any more awesomeness.
Oh, no! You poor thing. It looks totally uncomfortable. The fact that you took a picture of it, though, shows how much you love us. What would we do without such photographic evidence?
Oh honey wow. You look…a little tired?
miss zoot–you really could have scratched your cornea (you were right on target–i am studying anatomy lab figures of the eye right now for my final tomorrow)! that does feel like you’ve gotten something in your eye that you can’t get out, and unfortunately, they can become infected. if it is still bothering you tomorrow, i would get it checked out. i hate that you’re having so many difficulties in the home stretch of this pregnancy!
yarrr! ye be needing an eyepatch!
Dude, that is not good.
You poor thing!! I hope it just allergies!! A cut cornea is NOT fun at all. Eye issues in general aren’t fun.
Your hair is gorgeous!
And please, get your eye checked.
I normally just sit back and read your blog…but this time I have to comment. I have had a recurring cornea problem. I can simply wake up and the simple act of opening my eyes in the morning will reinjure it. I cut it years ago with a fingernail. It feels like there is a piece of sand in there. My eye will tear constantly. It is very painful. You should get it seen by an eye dr. If it is a torn cornea, you need antibiotic drops to make sure it does not become infected. Then you may want to use moisture drops at bedtime to make sure it does not happen again. Good Luck!!
Well, your eye may be slightly “Quasimodoesque”, but you still have totally hot hair.
I’d do you. (You know, if I swang that way)
I’m sure I’m totally wrong, but your eye looks a little like mine did when I had cellulitis…of course, half my face swelled right along with it.
If the swelling gets worse, don’t just go to the doctor…hit the ER. If that eye swells shut from an infection of any kind, it can cause meningitis, according to the ER doc that saw me. I don’t mean to scare you, but it’s something to keep an eye on.
Yep, that was an unintentional pun. But I’m leaving it because something here should be funny(ish). Hope you get better soon!!!!
It might just be allergies. I had the exact symptoms you have in one eye about a year ago, and it turned out to be some kind of extended allergic reaction (it was to some shampoo that got in my eyes while showering). It finally went away when I started taking prescription allergy eye drops.
i don’t want to roll in with the assvice, but i scrathced my cornea a few months ago, and that is totally what i looked like. i also refused to admit anything was wrong, so of course it got infected, and to this day i randomly have days when my left eye is…well, slightly droopy.
i hate to second the motion that you get thee to a doctor immediately, since i imagine that you’re already seeing doctors at least once a week…but, really?
if you lose any of your vision, the pictures that we see of andyz are sure to be compromised.
so, yeah.
get thee to a doctor.
Man, your hair is totally awesome! My eyes do that at least once a year, from allergies. They feel like something is in them, then I try to get it out, the eyelids and whites swell up, and it gets worse and worse until I look like someone punched me. Fun! Hope it goes away soon and it’s not something more serious.
I hope you’re feeling better. That looks painful and itchy.
It’s going to be a rough allergy season.
That’s what my eye looks like if I get a cat hair in it. (I’m allergic to kitties.) It’s not a tumah!!
You probably scratched your cornea. You should probably go to the doctor if it’s been more than a week. Usually it takes care of it’s self, but you never know.
This too shall pass and in two years you’ll completely forget about it.
Yeah. I totally had weird eye issues with my second pregnancy. People kept asking if I had pink eye because a blood vessel had burst and my eye was all red constantly. It was CRAZY!!!
Oh, wow! That majorly sucks about your eye. As if all the other pregnancy-related stuff wasn’t enough…
(But of course I’m sure your husband continues to tell you how beautiful you are. Because if he doesn’t, he should be shot.)
