Well crud. I woke up with painful pink eye this morning. I won't go into the gory details but I'm at home trying not to infect anyone today. I thought maybe I would post the songs that I thought could go along with this wondrous and joyous of announcements. Actually I've got "U Can't Touch This" in my head but I'm not posting that.

I can't even BEGIN to tell you how much I feel for you fisty !!! I had the viral version and it took MONTHS for it to go away.
Just promise me once you are finished with your keyboard your spray the hell outta it with Lysol (R)...
The Buboo Rocker was over this weekend & he too is suffering through it - all I wanted to do was scratch my eyes out at the thought that I might get it... knock on redeye ;)
Here's one for you...
contrabandwidth says
It's times like this I'm glad some of you are online buddies, I fear leaving the house during those viral times because I don't want 2 sick children. Hope you feel better soon, pink eye sucks.
fistula spume says
Lizzie I have already disinfected the house and am cleaning everything right now. I'm constantly purelling and I'm not missing a dose with this gooey eye drop stuff. I think it will clear up as it doesn't look sooper bad but it doesn't feel good either. Oh and I actually liked that Red Eye movie. I thought it would blow.
Contra these are good times to be online buddies. I like to think of the internet as an elaborate walkie talkie.
too true ivy. Too true. It could be worse though.
The Serenity Vortex says
It is evil stuff indeed. Had it twice but not for years and years now. Waking up in the morning unable to open your eyes because they are sealed shut with puss isn't the best way to start the day. Trying to feel your way to the bathroom to get them cleaned up and treated is interesting sport. Especially when still half asleep.
Hope it goes fast dude. Lizzie is right about cleaning keyboard etc. In fact I'm not going to spend much more time on this post as it's so damn infectious...... ;)
fistula spume says
This post is sick yo! I feel better than I did this morning. The doctor was some reeeaaalllllyy old guy that acted like foghorn leghorn's grandpa. He just pulled down both lids and said, "yup, pink eye".
fistula spume says
Totally classic. Mine's not as bad as that. I actually went through google pics of pink eye. There's some scary ones out there. If your a bulimic looking for inspiration I'd google pink eye pics.
Lizziegreeneyes says
That is one of the most disgusting pics I have ever seen - and that is not an invitation to show me something worse...
I could have cared how it looked - it was the nonstop pain/itch/discomfort of it.... blech !!!!
& I agree with you on the movie - but anything Cillian Murphy touches - I will love !!!
amber says
door knobs...
that's not an insult...its where reinfection happens--rub your eyes, open the bathroom door to wash, don't clean door knobs.
flamethrow the door knobs, that's my advice. And I think alcoholic beverages work pretty well, from the inside-out.
fistula spume says
That is a gruesome pic Lizzie. My wife's with you on Cillian Murphy. I think she'd leave me for him. :)
We'll I think I've thoroughly sanitized my house amber. The only thing I haven't done is burned sage to ward off the pink eye demons. I'll try your alcohol trick and see what happens.
I am says
Ahhh, the old sandbox under the eyelid routine. Classic Sam, just classic. What are you going to do as an encore? Festering boils, Dengue fever, oh oh how about this one, shingles. Nothing says malady like shingles.
Pink eye is not fun. My kids get it on a bi monthly basis (or so it seems). Hope it clears soon. I hear pouring Listerine into the infected eye does wonders. Like being so painful you suddenly don't mind the itching.
fistula spume says
Luckily I've got this antibiotic/steroid drops to help but it doesn't seem to be doing much. Foghorn Leghorn (the doctor) said that I should feel much much better tomorrow but I'm not seeing it. Flamethrow is how it feels right now so I think that wouldn't do much. You know I haven't ever had chicken pox in my life so I think shingles are in the cards. We'll see. Thanks for the hope. Love the new avatar btw.
fistula spume says
Well if South Park is correct I'll soon be among the undead. Celebrating sort of. Dude, why do you have to refer to yourself in the third person like that. It's kind of weird. :)
I am says
You just highlighted the only curse of have an All Purpose Screen Name.
Wait....
I am is Mogging from beyond this physical plane. Shhhhh, don't ask, just believe.
fistula spume says
I believe!!! Now what I want to know is how come you got said moniker I am? Was it from the rockin Neil Diamond song "I Am... I Said" or could it be from REM's "Superman"? "I Am the Walrus" perhaps?
soulrocket says
there must be some weird astrological conjuction. i smashed my right arm yesterday when doing my roller blades routine (typing with 1 hand at the mo).
keep it up, man.
fistula spume says
Oh hey too bad about the arm soulrocket. Hope it gets better.
Thanks Anna. I think I'll be good as long as I refrain from touching my eyes. I've only touched them once since the great freak out of yesterday morning so I think I'm doing good. The medicine is yucky though.
Lady Miss Ian says
Hey yeah, your Talk Like a Pirate Day patch should come in handy. You know what a pirate would say about this medical problem?
Aye aye!
Rawkkiddoh says
ah yes pink eye a favorite among teachers this I can tell you. A close runner up to the dreaded ring worm, please let me know you dont have that
fistula spume says
No ring worm here. No lice either. I'm taking care of it and taking extra precautions so I think it should all be good. It's irritated right now but it's not so bad. Not comfortable.
LMI is that Poop Deck Puppy?
