A fungus among us...

I learned this weekend that you should *NOT* let a toddler stick there grubby finger in your eye. I was trying to get JT to take a nap so I was 'fake' sleeping. JT stuck his finger above my eye lid and tried to raise it to see my eye. JT's finger kind of slipped and poked me.

I didn't think anything of it besides getting poked in the eye but a few minutes later my eye started to itch and bother me. I started rubbing my eye and then it started to hurt and ended up looking like this:


The picture does not do my eye justice on how bad it looked. Luckily I had this medicine that I got from Jeffs office....7 years ago! I had an eye infection and the doctor gave me 5-6 packets of medicine. After the 3rd or 4th packet my eye cleared up so I decided not to use the rest and I saved it for future emergencies!! Good thing I didn't listen to Jeff and use all the medicine!
Who would have thought a toddler's grubby little germie invested finger could give me eye irritation!

he probably had his finger up his nose before he poked you in the eye.

Miles, I thought eye medication came with an expiration date! 7 years and still valid...surprising! I think it might be just JT's nail that might have poked you accidentally...we get all kinds of stuff in the eye all the time! JTs little hands are too small to get all the blame! :)

jen-

unfortunately or fortunately JT does not really pick his nose...so that just makes it worse and where his finger *could* have been!


sunil-

HA! i did check for an expiration date and i didn't see one. in fact, i had a hard time remembering if that was really the right eye medicine.

so in your comment who is "WE". Who is "WE" get all kinds of stuff in the eye? What you got a wife and kids you aren't telling us about?

:P...mebbe..who knows! hehe!

I meant man numerous other places you could get germs that could make it to your eye..e.g..while playing BB and handling a sweaty ball..who knows what all it gathers and how that stuff can easily make it to your eye! :)

Although its a losing argument to your wife and kids counterpoint! :)

sunil-

i was fine all day. i took a nap with JT and that is when i faked being asleep and JT stuck his finger in my eye.

when i woke up my eye was all messed up...so more than likely it was JT's grubby finger
