“¡Sus ojos están rojos!” Oh yes, yes they are. I woke up this morning with the puffiest red eyes I have ever squinted to see in my life. My eyes have been bugging me for the last couple of days, but this morning they practically exploded, and I was finally convinced that its a real problem that I should do something about. As soon as I made it to LASP, I ventured up to Laura's office where I was met with a concerned look and a recommendation to go to the clinic this week. Like my host mom and I, she guessed it was allergies, but wants me to get it checked to make sure I don't buy any eye drops that will make it worse.
The lecture topic (the Mayan worldview) did not exactly help me forget about my eyes, but during the longest lecture we've had so far the swelling did go down, and by the time I got to ICADS they were looking a fair amount better. Haleigh decided it was a Trit day based on my medical condition and the fact that its been quite a while since we've stopped for snacks on our way home, so we got Trits and headed to an e-cafe for a while this afternoon.
Of course, I forgot to save on my flash drive the only document I actually needed to send today, so when I got home I had to go over to the neighbors' house to get back online. After that, I ate dinner and Mami and I talked about my eyes, resolving that I should take an anti-histamine tonight and see how they look in the morning. If things don't improve overnight, I'll be visiting the clinic sometime very soon. The good news is that I have easy access to medical attention and really good medicine, so I'm sure the problem won't last much longer.
