Eye @ MindSay

From 2003, back when I worked in a laboratory.

     I don't think I've ever had a real friend. Maybe in elementary school, before a person is aware of what it is to be a friend. When you are naturally just a friend. You like somebody because you do. You are intensely loyal to them because you are. Because you laugh and play together. Because you yell and fight together. Because you want good things for them because you do. Because you are jealous of them for nothing and happy for them for nothing. Because that is what you do. Maybe in elementary school. Maybe not.

 

     I don't think I've ever had a real thought. Maybe by accident, before a person is aware of what thinking is. When you naturally have original thoughts because there was nothing to make them unoriginal. Before your relatives squeeze their thoughts into your head. Before your "friends" force their style and mannerisms onto your own.

     I don't think I've ever really wanted anything more than real friends and real thoughts. They have always been elusive for me. I  have the vague impression that I know what they are, and maybe I was even  well acquainted with them at some point, but now they are strangely mixed and diluted with every other foggy memory in my little brain. They are not real. My little brain. If I was privileged to meet one or even, God forbid both, what would I do with them. I'm positive I would not appreciate them, because I would already be thinking about something else I imagine to be lacking. I would be fully immersed in a different fantasy. I would even be irritated by my real friend or real thought. They would quickly become an unbearable and disgusting inconvenience and I would wish more than anything to be without them. Of course until they were irretrievably  gone and then I would miss them terribly. Maybe I think not.

Saturday April 19, 20008 Me my mom and my lil' sis came down to Connecticut to visit some family. Then all of a sudden because of my stupid allergies. my nose got all clogged and my eyes were itching like there was poison ivy on my eye. But I think the reason is because yesterday I went to my little cousins B-day party and my other cousin got mad at me so she decided to through sand at me and it got in the eye that's bothering me. But w/e i am gonna put some more eye drops in when i get to my grandma's house cause i am @ my aunt and uncle's house in Bristol and my grandma's house is in Watertown or Waterbury i cant remember which one so hopefully i can have a good-night sleep tonight. Well I suppose i should go and relax and drink my tea, so i will write more tomorrow. TTYL L8TER!!

Pink Eye is an eye infection where the white part of the eye and the inner eyelids become red, causing itching, swelling, eye discharge, and irritation. The scientific name for Pink Eye is ‘conjunctivitis’. This condition is also referred to as ‘red eye.’

Some of the typical reasons for toddlers to get affected with Pink Eye are:
• Bacterial infection of the eye
• Viral infection of the eye
• Eye allergy
• Dust and smoke

Nearly all of these infections affect both the eyes. Moreover, the infection does not last too long. It is usually cured within 24 hours of treatment.

Note: In some cases, the infection may be contagious. You need to consult your doctor to find out if it is contagious.

General Treatment for Pink Eye:
• For Bacterial/Viral Conjunctivitis: Antibiotics such as topical drops or ointments are useful in curing this type of Pink Eye
• For Allergic Conjunctivitis: Allergy medications such as Alocril, Patanol etc. can help in quick recovery

Some Do’s:
• Whenever there is any eye discharge, take a warm moist cloth and wipe the discharge immediately—this will help reduce the irritation your toddler may be undergoing.
• If the infection is contagious, make sure you wash your hands after having touched the eye or its discharge.
• Discourage your toddler from rubbing the infected eye frequently.
