Eye Infection...on a 29th Feb~

Today is 29th February 2012, the only day that will occur once in every 4 years. I am also not sure if it is pure sheer luck or 2012 is really a 不幸之年 for me to have this happen on me.

Just yesterday, my left eye felt very uncomfortable & pain for the whole day. Went to have it checked out at a clinic listed under my company's medi scheme & was told I had eyelid infection. Well, doc said it wasn't serious & I didn't insist on a MC. I was...wrong.

This is how I looked yesterday...

*Note: It is my left eye, but photo shows as right.

Thought this uncomfortable feeling & pain will subside after a while since even doc said it wasn't serious, I presumed I could go to work the next day.

Until...my eye turned to this state when I looked myself in the mirror early this morning...

I literally gave myself a shock when I saw myself in the mirror! Who is this ugly duckling!? Now, it didn't look that 'not serious' anymore so I decided to visit my usual GP instead....for better assurance.

Turned out I had contracted eye infection from bacteria attack. Gave me 3 days worth of MC & adviced me to go back to him for review on Friday. My GP even told me he hoped not to see me so often anymore when I was about to leave his room. What a funny GP, but honest!

I heard from him that this swelling will take 3-5 days to subside so now, I'm more worried about this hindering my trip to Seoul. I SERIOUSLY hate going overseas in a sickly condition, much less when I can't have full vision! To counter that, I just have to be obedient for these few days & quietly hope the swelling will go away before Sunday...

Year 2012, please do not give me anymore problems!
