-as of [9 APRIL 2024]–
.
*SPRING 2013* –>
(lingering ‘stye’ on ‘right eyelid’)
(it’s been there for months and i’ve made no effort to treat it)
(it’s only grown in size over this period)
(cheryl first noticed it when it was only a tiny bump)
(and then it started growing in size)
.
*cure* –>
“warm compresses”
(washcloth with hot water)
.
*24 OCTOBER 2013* –>
i don’t think it’s a “stye”
it’s actually a “chalazion”
a cyst (“closed sac”)
(how fitting!)
(my teenage nickname!)
(although in that case it referred to my alleged propensity to sneak peaks at my “teammates’” scrotum in the football locker room)
(didn’t help my social life much!)
i’ve gotta become more vigilant in treatment
(6 times a day for 10 minutes)
(when i run out of teabags i’ll switch to warm compresses)
(or i’ll go to rite-aid and see if they have any treatment for styes)
(cheryl seems clueless)
so the eye doctor (a young white male) prescribed “eye drops”
(comprised of tobramycin + dexamethasone)
(1 drop every 6 hours)
(tobramycin is an “aminoglycoside”)
(aka “a molecule consisting of amino-modified sugars”)
(dexamethasone is synthetic)
(scary!)
