The Bride has Pink-Eye!

littleluckypenny

A nice, hearty shout-out to my co-worker for coming to work after taking care of her grandson who has pink-eye, who in turn gave it to me as we share a desk!  Gotta love it! (dripping with sarcasm)

No work for me today (which means I don't get paid, and spending almost $200 for a doctor visit and my drops), doctor said 24 hours and I can go back to work.  At least it didn't happen on my wedding day.

All the best for a quick recovery

janeash

Yuck....been there!  Good luck with the recovery!

ECOlson

Ugh!  Hope you recover quickly!  Oh, and remember to throw away any eye makeup you may have used since coming into contact with the pink eye!

michelletobin

OH Man that is aweful. I hope you recover soon, so sorry to hear about the added expense, probably didn't need that right now. Get better soon!

HilareyL

That totally sucks!  Luckily pink eye goes away really quickly.

melntaitt

Ugghhh, people and their germs. Feel better soon hun!

I am sorry you spent 200$ at the doctor! I have gotten pink eye a few times and I have found that the over the counter drops at the drug store are just as good as the ones you get from the doctor.

I feel your pain. I would get pink eye all the time. Hopefully everything gets better.

amonis

Oh no that stinks!!! Prayers for a quick recovery!

That sucks that your coworker shared her lovely germs with you

Stuff like this makes me happy to live in Canada. A case of pink eye only costs approx $5 out of pocket (with my health plan), or about $30 without a plan. $200 seems outrageous to me! Albeit, you likely pay less tax per year than I do, so it probably balances out when all is said in done.

Feel better soon!!

$200 is crazy! That better be some super special meds!

precamies

aww, sorry! don't spend 200 on the doctor next time, though. I am prone to eye infections and they usually can take care of it at the Walmart eye clinic for only around 30

hope you feel better soon

That stinks!  I hope you feel better soon.

cwill6212

Bummer! So frustrating when people pass stuff on like that. She sure ain't paying your $200 doctor bill! <snark> Hope you feel better soon...

littleluckypenny

Thanks everyone.  I've never had or knew how to treat it, hence the doctor visit.  If it ever happens again, I'll probably go the OTC route.

If it makes you feel any better...I got shingles from wedding stress

Melissa603

Definitely throw out any eye make up, brushes, foundation anything like that that!!!

MMRoberts11

That sucks!  I hope it clears up soon with those expensive drops. 

Nindakay

Oh boo!!  I had that a while ago.  

Make sure that you get rid of all of the eye makeup that you've used....or you will re-infect yourself.  Speaking from personal experience......
