Going to go to (actually walmart eye whatever of all things) to get an antibiotic tomorrow.

Having a swollen upper eyelid and the pain on and off and watering stinks.

Least it isnt something where I would have to go to a regular doctor and get a big bill.

either poke it with a needle and let it drain, or just wait and you'll wake up with your eye glued shut in a few mornings.

It was awkward because I was lifeguarding at the time and my eye was swollen looking and painful. I pushed past that and watched those people like a champ, and just kept my sunglasses on when I talked to people up close.

I think I put some store bought stuff on it

Get a washcloth wet and warm it in the microwave for about 20 seconds, and then just sit with it over your eye for about 5 minutes. Do this a couple of times and it will draw it to a head.

Warm teabag works nicely too. As in the teabag you make drinks out of...

Hard to believe my parents never shared this bit of folklore with me. They certainly made sure I knew every other wives tale! happy
