Eye See You
I got up at the crack of dawn this morning for a doctor's appointment. I used to hate going to the doctor as much as going to the dentist, but I don't mind so much these days. It is infrequent and my doc is great. Doing the whole visit thing before work was a bit grueling, but I survived. I love the part where the nurse asks you if you smoke, how much caffeine you intake daily, and how often you drink. I don't smoke other than cigars, but you better get a pen with more ink for the rest. Would you like the caffeine consumption in milligrams? So, not that it's relevant, but the reason for my visit was a small bump (for lack of a better description) on my right bottom eyelid. You can't see it really... but I don't like unexplained schtuff regarding my person. Remember the episode of friends where Ross had some unknown bump on his ass? So, no big deal, it's a cyst. My doctor prescribed some antibiotic ointment and told me to hot press it each evening. "If it doesn't go away in a week, an ophthalmologist and surgery is your only option." Surgery? I am no so naïve as to not understand that means a simple, in and out incision. I still have a issue with a needle or scalpel being so close to my eye. It is unnerving. Thinking about it is like watching that scene in Jackass where Steve-O papercuts the webbing between his fingers and toes. Eewwww. Anyhoo, today is supposed to be the hottest day so far this year. It was muggy this morning. The air as thick and clingy. Gone are the crisp mornings that I love so much. Colorado. Eye on the prize. Someday... I'll live in the mountains. Someday. I suppose I should do some work since the weekend hasn't officially started yet, eh?
