I have a stye. I am not speaking of my house, although it does need vacuuming and the dishes to be done. I am talking of the tiny little bump on the inside corner of my eyelid, the "pimple" in the most awkward and painful of spots.
My stye is small, hardly noticeable to anyone but me. And yet it is impossible to ignore. The pain from it is sharp, though not unbearable. It is frequent, and uncomfortable, but manageable. It will go away in time. There really is nothing that I can do to clear it up, it's something that just happens over time. I can take steps to speed the healing process, but, really, ultimately, it's out of my hands.
Should it get worse, a doctor can try to excise it for me. Most of the time, they heal on their own, however.
(Yes, my friends, we're talking about more than my eye now).
The one bit of advice I've found? NEVER POP A STYE. Apparently, not leaving well enough alone can actually cause more problems to develop.
Wish I had read that earlier.
Ouch...that looks painful. Hope EVERYTHING resolves itself in a positive manner.
ReplyDeleteOwie! I've only had one of those over the years, but it hurt like a b****. I hope you're feeling better soon!
ReplyDeleteUgh, I hate styes. They are the littlest things that can really eff up your week. And the fact that you can't do anything about them makes them worse.
ReplyDeleteAs for your other sty, I'm right there with you....and supposed to have houseguests tonight. Eep!
I used to get styes quite frequently--they are painful, and it's not like you can avoid blinking. I hope that and everything else gets better soon.
ReplyDeleteYay! It let me comment! Maybe I'm out of the blogger doghouse...
