I woke up last night with my eye “glued” shut – I had to gently pull my eyelids apart to see out of it again. The drops seem to have helped prevent the thick stuff from building up all the time, and now it’s just a bit runny. But it’s still red and a little puffy.

It’s better than it was yesterday though. I’m hoping that it will be good enough tomorrow morning that I can go to work then. (I don’t like knowing that I’m missing being paid for not being there, since I’m on an hourly contract rather than salaried.)

Now that I’ve been out of bed for a while, I feel better too. It’s a strange trade-off. I need rest, but it also aggravates my sinuses to be lying down.
