stye in my eye

I can't believe I am even sharing this! But I thought I prob. would of tortured my kids and took pics of it and shared..

Wed night my eye started hurting.. I found a tiny little pimple on the eye lid. I remember Melissa having one when Keagan was born. They next morning I woke up to my eyelid inflamed. This is what it looked like this morning, and yes my eye is open all of the way.

The only thing you can really do for a stye is put warm compresses on it and give it time. Luckily after a warm compress it goes down significantly, it just looks droopy.

So Sat. I stayed home from our fun church activity because of this, Sunday morning I had a warm compress on almost all morning and smothered my eye w/ makeup so you could barely tell. It is getting so its not as red on the lid.

It is sensitive to light, so I haven't gone out to much to enjoy the beautiful sunshine (except yesterday) I just wore my sunglasses the whole time. :( Hopefully it goes away soon... It doesn't hurt too much, its just a little uncomfortable.. and I have to sit still and put a wash cloth on it frequently. I have been listening to my mp 3 player .. a lot lately.

Yesterday before I put make up on - I had a lesson I had to teach at church.

OUCH!!!!!!!!
Donna, you are a much better person than me... You actually went to church? Woman, that would be a totally valid reason to stay home and sleep in. LOL.
Hope you feel better soon.

Oh my gosh! I have never known anyone to get a stye and I never knew exactly what it was. It seems like a huge annoyance. I am sorry!

I had sty a few years ago. They gave me a cream I could put on it and if it gets really bad they can drain it.
