I've been taking the antibiotic eye drops. They seem to be helping. My eyes are much drier, even if they are still red and puffy. Hopefully this will hold true for tonight and I'll be able to sleep.

Also, I proved I am utterly incapable of self-administering eye drops. Marc's been doing it for me so far, but I worry about what's going to happen when I have to take them at work. Well, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

Ian came over (yes, I warned him not to) and brought Deadwood for us to watch. Also, he's been wonderful and doing a quick pharmacy run for us to pick up things like Halls and extra eye drops for me to take into work tomorrow, if indeed I decide to go in. Also if I decide to go in, he's picking me up some paramedic-style gloves, so that maybe I won't spread the conjunctivitis. I hope.

Still trying to decide if it's smart to go in tomorrow. I'm probably functional at this point (assuming I sleep tonight), but probably also still really contagious. So it's a trade off.

In any event, this is decidedly not how I wanted to spend my first week on the job.

Could be worse...

Example: Next week when you are alone in the office and everyone else is out with conjunctivitis.

Your fingers are not contagious you know :-D But if the gloves make you self-conscious about your hands and help you not rub your face, then they will have served their purpose...

In any case... good luck with everything :-)

Thanks. Yeah, it's more the "being aware of my face" aspect of it. And my fingers *are* infectious if I happen to touch my eyes, which I've been studiously avoiding doing. (When I've been rubbing/touching my eyes, it's been with tissue paper, keeping my fingers well clear.)

I asked one of my co-workers to do it for me. I did it myself at home, but it was nice to be able to skip doing it that way once a day.
(((((HUGS))) I looked like I had a black eye.
