Whenever I don’t want to let my mind wander off on dark paths, I keep myself busy. With Jackie!’s surgery yesterday, I knew I would have to have a day jammed with activities. I planned on really throwing myself into getting things ready for Annabel’s birthday party, but then I woke up with an insane-looking eye.
Backing up a bit, the day after my dental work, I woke up with a somewhat-swollen eyelid. It was the same side I’d had my work on and my cheek was a bit swollen as well, so I figured it was all related. I took a picture for posterity:
focus on the inner beauty in this picture
The next day it was mostly gone, so I figured I was right. Then this last weekend, I came down with another really bad cold. Sore throat, cough, the works. We all have it. Anyway, when I woke up yesterday, my eye looked like this:
I would call that DECIDEDLY WORSE. So off to Dr. Looove I went.
During my exam, she felt my eylid, pressed on it, and then flipped it inside out so she could look at its eyelid innards. Gag. She diagnosed it as a large stye. Basically, my eyelid grew a tumor out of solidarity to Jackie!. I think that shows true friendship, and also proves that I love Jackie! too much. First plan of attack – antibiotics, with hot compresses and washing my eye with Annie’s baby shampoo to make sure it’s clean. If the first plan doesn’t help by the end of the week, I need to have it CUT OUT.
That’s a scalpel near my eyeball for those of you who don’t watch medical dramas. Nothing compared to getting a mass cut out of your brain, but definitely high on the Disgusting Chart.
After I left Dr. Looove’s office, I went to the party store, where all the little kids looked at me like I was Igor or something (what hump?) while I walked the aisles. Plus Annie yelled “DADA! GO!” the entire time, so my self esteem was suuuuuper high.
When I could no longer take showing my hideousness to the outside world, I went home and started obsessively checking my phone and email for updates on Jackie!. Luckily, her sister Jenni did an awesome job of keeping us all up to date.
Jackie!’s four hour surgery went well – the doctors got what they saw on the MRI, which is good news. No word yet on if what was removed is scar tissue or new tumor growth. We have to wait for the biopsy results, and that can sometimes take a few days. Jackie! herself came out of the surgery very well. She’s obviously got a killer headache, but she sang our school’s fight song and I’m sure she was pleased to find out that the surgeon didn’t shave her whole head – just the portion along where the incision was made. Knowing Jackie!, she will have some excellent headbands covering up that strip in no time.
Thank you to EVERYONE for your messages and well-wishes. I know Jackie! and her family will be reading them all in the days to come.
And don’t you worry your pretty tiger heads, I’ll keep you posted on my eye. I think the stye needs a name.
Becca_Masters says:
I have a ganglion cyst on the inside of my wrist. I named it Albert.
Is your stye male or female do you think?
amy says:
I have one of those too! As does my mother and my Grandma. I use it as a party trick Never thought of naming it… Him… Her… It is just “Gangly”.
My brother once had a stye i in his eye that was hugely HUGE. Bleh. My dad lanced it with a razor blade. Yeah, talking 30 years ago when driving to the town and making a doctors appointment was a big deal
Amber says:
Such great news about Jackie’s surgery!! Praying the biopsy results come back good.
I’d name it McFly. McFly the Stye
Kate @ UpsideBackwards says:
Great news that Jackie! has come out of surgery so well! I’ll keep my fingers and toes crossed for good biopsy results for her.
Styes are horrible and painful – I hope yours goes down soon for you. Love and hugs!
Holly @ Holly Days says:
You totally rocked the Quasimoto look.
Jenn says:
Hey Heather,
As soon as I saw your 2nd pic, I knew it was a Stye. I got these frequently as a child. Another thing that help is soaking a tea bag in hot water (the hotter, the better) and then placing it on your eye lid frequently throughout the day & evening. Eventually, it will form a raisen white head (like a pimple). When that pops, the Stye is done!!! Just make sure you protect your “good” eye b/c is can spread easily. I was so happy to get Jenni’s updates as well. Hopefully Jackie won’t have to wait too long until she get the results of the findings.
So, are you having Annie’s b-day party on Sat? What is the theme?
I hope you feel better soon. Stye suck!!! Especially when you wake up in the morning and your eye is stuck closed (good sign thouh….means it popped).
My Best,
Jenn xo
Lynn from For Love or Funny says:
I still think you look pretty, even with a swollen eyelid.
Thinking of Jackie!
Stephanie Parnell says:
I know this sounds crazy and like a wives tale kind of thing, and it may not work…but I have a friend that said any time she gets a stye she takes a CLEAN copper penny and rubs it directly on the stye. She said by the next day the thing is gone. She said she told a friend about it and he didn’t believe her but hope got the best of him and he tried it and it worked for him too. So….clean a penny and rub it directly on the stye and see what happens!
Amyt says:
I’ve tried a version of this and it worked for me. – The only difference was that I was told to rub the edge of penny back and forth on a clean cloth until the penny got warm and then to place the warm edge on the stye. Good Luck!
Stephanie Parnell says:
I’m sure your variation is the right one since mine was totally second hand information, lol. Glad to see that my crazy advice worked for someone else, maybe now Heather will believe me!
Mary Ann says:
I am so happy the surgery went well for Jackie. I have been sending prayers and positive thoughts her way and hopefully the results will turn out just as well. I have to agree with that tea bag trick it really does work I am not sure why but it does. Just be careful it does stain everything when it drips. There is also a great cream called STYE that you can pick up in any drug store that helps a lot. They are so gross, but do go away almost as soon as they came when that pimple pops. Hope you’re feeling better soon.
Anne says:
So happy she did well! I prayed for her and will pray for your stye. Maybe call it Guy? Guy the stye? Thanks for all your posts Heather! Makes my day!! Annie is absolutely beautiful!!!
Heather says:
Awesome news on Jackie!
I get a sty every time I use a facial cleanser that isn’t baby soap or just straight up oil. It’s ridiculous.
Hope it heals quickly!
Christine says:
Hooray Jackie!
Your stye looks like a Suzette to me.
edenland says:
I’m loving the news on Jackie! Hoping and praying for just some boring old scar tissue. Yawn. I remember way back when you first posted those pics with her teeny shirt of Maddie’s, marvelling at her story and her braveness.
::
It’s the …
Stye of the tiger, it’s the thrill of the fight
Risin’ up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks her prey in the night
And she’s watchin’ us all with her STYE …..
of the tiger.
Bum bum DUM.
Bum bum DUM.
Bum bum DUUUUUM.
Karrie says:
You should call him Styme. Like Sty-me.
Nikki says:
Hooray for the success of Jackie!’s surgery! Now praying that the growth was just scar tissue and no new tumors were growing.
I’m going for Sam for your stye. Sam T. Stye.
(The T. stands for The, obviously)
XOXO from GA,
Nikki
Funnelcloud Rachel says:
Ooh, that IS definitely high on the Disgusting Chart (the inside out eyelid and the cutting out, though any eye injury or disease generally is disgusting!), but I have woken up with my eye looking like that before and it’s gone away on its own – hope yours does, too!
I’ve been thinking of your Jackie! too – she seems like an awesome girl. Best wishes to her!
jannette says:
You stye looks like a Stella
Molly says:
So so happy to hear that Jacki! is recovering well. Hope your eye follows suit!
Deborah says:
Okay, eye stuff grosses me out BEYOND BELIEF and I nearly vomited (seriously; I won’t even wear contacts because I can’t bear the thought of touching my eye) when I read about what Dr. Loooove did to you, but GAW, I’m glad it’s you and not me! In other hideous news, I now have to give my kitty eye ointment TWICE A DAY, every day, DIRECTLY ON HER EYEBALL for the next two weeks to resolve an issue she’s having. It’s like my worst nightmare in the universe has come to life. I hope you aren’t as bad about fixing your eye as my kitty was this morning when she struggled against me trying to get the meds DIRECTLY ON HER EYEBALL. It’s 7 a.m. and I already need a drink.
(((hugs))))
P.S. YAY, JACKIE!
Deborah says:
I just left a long, weirdo comment about eye things and my cat, but it seems to have disappeared. I think the universe is telling me something with that. Hope your eye gets better and I’m SO HAPPY that Jackie! is doing well!
(((hugs)))
Jennifer says:
I’m glad your friend is doing well.
I’d name the stye Fred. Or Freddi if it’s a “she.”
Nellie says:
I think in honor of your friendship and solidarity to your amazing friend Jackie, you should name your stye KURT.
Keeping the prayers and good wishes coming for your friend.
keri says:
Heather, I tried to comment yesterday but had some technical difficulties. I wanted to let you know that Jackie! is in my thoughts and prayers. So glad to hear her surgery went well.
Lisa says:
Ugh, your eye! Hopefully the first plan of attack works and you can avoid the scalpel near your eye.
As for Jackie, so glad to hear she came through the surgery well. She is definitely a champ. I’ll keep her in my thoughts and hope the news that comes back from the biopsy is good news.
Steph says:
OMG I was reading your post and thinking ‘so that’s what I get from time to time on my left eyelid…really should go to the doctor’….scroll down to part about having it cut out- maybe not.
How about Gertrude? Just the first thing that came to mind for a name.
I’ll keep my fingers crossed for your friend. She sounds so strong and brave that I know she’ll make it through this hurdle.
Skye says:
Oh my gosh, I’ve had a stye before and I would have freaked if my doctor suggested cutting it out was an option! Mine went away just fine… hopefully yours will too, especially with all the good advice from other commenters. I think you should name it Frankenstye!
p.s. Jackie! is still in my thoughts!
Tami says:
Prayers going to out to you Heather that your eye heals with out the surgery.. Ouch!! Thats sounds way to painful for me.!! And my prayers go out to Jackie for clear results on her biopsy.
Chris says:
As soon as you said you’d had a cold, I knew…I used to get stye’s all the time as a child–and a couple of times as an adult. The warm compresses really do work, and as others have said, suddenly POOF! It’s gone–until then it’s very uncomfortable. But never once has a doctor said “we may have to cut it out.” Ew.
Still thinking good thoughts for Jackie! She sounds like the kind of friend everyone would be lucky to have.
Laura says:
My husband gets this all the time. Sometimes it forms into what is called a chelazion. He soaks his eyes with a hot washcloth every morning and night for a few minutes, then uses the washcloth to wipe his eyelids really well. It removes all the stuff in the air that settles in there and he hasn’t had a problem in awhile. The hot washcloth is key.
Lisa_in_WI says:
So glad the surgery went well. Praying that the biopsy results are encouraging!
Lamb says:
I couldn’t sleep at all last night and found myself thinking about your friend Jackie!. Isn’t that funny how the internet works? I’ve never met her, but I really am trying to send happy thoughts her way.
As for your eye, I have the perfect link for you: http://lambaround.blogspot.com/2010/05/getting-all-teary-eyed.html
Kim says:
I think the stye on your eye looks like an Einstyen. Hope it doesn’t hurt. And I hope it heals fast. :o) Happy Wednseday!
Julie says:
I am heading to the party store this morning as well. I was debating if I should wash my hair before or after I run errands. If you can brave the store with a swollen eye then I can go with gross hair (Right?!). I am sending up lots of prayers for Jackie! and her family. I also wanted to let you know that I received a donation envelope for the March of Dimes this week. I will be sending a donation because of you and your sweet Maddie. Have a great day and I hope the meds and warm compress do the trick.
Monika says:
Hey Heather,
I couldn’t believe it when I read your last post. I guess what most people don’t know is that there are different types of styes: those that look like pimples and pop after a while and those that grow into your eyelid and DO NOT GO AWAY OR POP. I tried antibiotics, ointments, tea bags, the copper coin trick mentioned in one of the comments and so on and so forth. In the end it actually had to be cut out and don’t worry, it takes less than 5 minutes!!! I thought they were getting started when the doc said “done, you can get up!” Of course, they anaestethise your eye and from here on I will say no more.
GOOD LUCK with the little tricks and I hope your eye gets better soon. btw, I called mine The Thing.
vickie says:
Go Jackie! Glad to hear surgery went well. Don’t freak about the eye – i’ve had those & they go away…
Kim says:
Praying for Jackie! and all of her family and friends. Hoping your stye goes away without having to use a scapel. Sending Hugs your way..
mosey says:
Ouch. Just do the hot compresses, antibiotics are not necessary. It’ll be gone in a day or two! (and the compresses feel so good….) Keeping your friend in my thoughts today….
Trisha Vargas says:
I like the name Trudy for the stye. Hope it gets better soon and still sending good recovery vibes Jackie!’s way.
(((HUGS))) from Florida
Kristin says:
OMG – I had BOTH of my eyelids flipped last week! And the eye doc kept them inside out until my eyes were completely filled with tears and pouring so much water that he couldn’t see what he was doing. It was such an awful feeling! Gag is right. And to make it worse, when he flipped them, I got an eyelash in one of my eyes so he came at my eye with tweezers to get it out. Yup – tweezers – touching my eyeball! What a nightmare.
Here’s a must-try remedy for styes:
When I’ve had styes in the past, placing a warm tea bag on your eye is VERY helpful! There’s something about the combination of the warmth and herbs in the tea that helps heal the styes quickly. Feel better soon!
Panni says:
Dont know if someone already mentioned this. Take a gold ring and rub it vigourously on your pants leg until it is hot and then put it against the sty. Repeat repeat repeat. It burns, but it works somehow.
Marissa says:
I have a ganglion cyst on the top of my wrist. I named him Alien Bob. He kind of comes and goes when he pleases.
I second, using the warm tea bags on your eye to heal the stye quickly. Also, wash your hands, wash your hands, wash your hands those little guys love to spread. Good luck and I hope you don’t have to have it cut out.
That’s great news about Jackie! I’m glad things went well and I hope she has a speedy recovery.
Kelly says:
Poor you! Those styes hurt. I used to get them all the time as a kid.
Kristin (MamaKK922) says:
So sorry to hear about the stye I have only ever had a small one and it hurt like hell. That one has to be unpleasant. And I am happy to hear Jackie came out of surgery well. Still sending positive vibes that it is only scar tissue.
AngieM. says:
so basically what jenn(comment #4) is suggesting you get tea-bagged??
but seriously… i’m glad surgery went well for jackie!, i was thinking of her all day.
also..how about -the artist formerly known as stye?
katrina says:
I say you name it Stymie.
Okay, not the most original, but it’s the first thing I thought of.
s says:
I am an ophthalmologist from Austria:Try having a cortisone injetion into your stye: 1mg triamcinolon should do the trick. best regards s.
Glenda says:
I always got stye’s when I was a kid and I remember my mom putting hot tea bags and it’d go away. I can’t imagine a scalpel to my eye
Following Jackie on CaringBridge (since you first posted about her a couple of years ago) and praying that the biopsy comes back negative and her seizures go away. She’s a fighter! Fight on!!!
Eunice says:
Yikes! I know about the tribulations of a stye. I had to get mine cut out, and it was not fun. If it’s any consolation, I had a worse reaction to the pain meds than the actual slicing of the eye so my experience may have been worse than some. I still have my eye, so it turned out well. You should name it… Deuteronomy. Or Deuts for short.
Elizabeth says:
So glad Jackie came out of the surgery well! She seems like a fighter and such a brave person! My thoughts are the biopsy results come back good.
I think you should name the stye McSpohr Hope you feel better soon!
Kim says:
Guess what? I had one of those stye surgeries when I was a kid! And it took place in a third world hospital! NO JOKE!!
And here I am, 24 years later, and my eyelid is still the beauteous flap of skin it has always been. So I’m here to tell you that if it gets to that point, I know it’s scary, but it’s really not all bad. Hard to believe, I know.
I’m glad to hear about Jackie! and I certainly hope that what they find is benign, whatever it is. Keeping my fingers and toes crossed for her.
XOXO
Kim
Heather says:
I’m so glad to hear about your friend!
I had the same stye thing going on when I was younger, only they were chronic. I had three hard bumps in my eyelid, and the doc sliced me open and took ’em out. He numbed the area and I didn’t feel a thing. Gauze was taped heavily over my eye, and I looked like Quasimodo just in time for a friend’s bday party. My mom drew an eyeball on the bandage and it was a huge hit.
Sometimes my eyelid will attempt to grow a new eyelid tumor, but the warm compresses really do the trick if you catch it early enough.
Jeannine says:
So glad the surgery went well for Jackie! and praying that the biopsy comes back with good results.
I’d totally name your stye Stan so you and Jackie! could curse out Turk & Stan.
Tara. says:
*shivers* I really hope your stye takes off because a scalpel near your eye ball sounds awful. I’m weird with eye stuff. I’d have probably puked having my eyelid turned inside out. I felt sick when I was reading and immediately lost my appetite for my bowl of Captain Crunch I was eating.
Please keep us updated on both your eye and Jackie!
Melissa says:
Love the tiger line (isn’t it pretty striped head?), I loved that you threw it in there.
Sorry to hear about the stye…I’ve gotten a few in my day. My doctor told me I kept my eyeliner for too long and rubbed my eyes too much. Once I stopped doing that, I haven’t gotten any. They are not fun, though. I’m hoping yours goes away all on its own.
We’re hoping your friend’s biopsy comes back with good news.
amanda says:
Oh man. That does not look good. I really really hope the medicine and shampoo washing (!!) works, so you don’t have to have a scalpel anywhere near your eye!
Kellee Pigeon says:
Oh god, I’ve had things like that on my eye before that just went away. I had no idea, but I know they suck!
I vote we call the little bastard Steve!
Megan says:
I know this will sound crazy but I promise it works.. Boil an egg until its cooked and the shell is hot. Tilt your head back and place the hot/warm egg (still in shell) on your closed eye. The shape of the egg conforms nicely to the shape of your eye. My mom had a huge stye (like so huge that the eye doctor squeezed it and got some really nasty stuff out of it) and he told her to use the egg as a compress and her stye cleared up in no time. Of course she had to use antibiotics too, but she swears the egg really helped! Hope you feel better soon and don’t need any scalpels near your eye!!
punkinmama says:
Jackie! is incredible and so are you. Hoping to hear good news soon!
AmazingGreis says:
Sly the Stye….that’s my naming suggestion!! Hope you’re eye is better soon. So glad all went well with Jackie! Still sending happy juju to her and her family!!
Amanda M. says:
I’ve had at least five of those now, in the last 8 months or so. I hope the warm compresses help for you; they didn’t do anything for me. Whenever one pops up, I just have to apply my eyeliner in some fun optical-illusiony way until it shrinks up again. I can still feel them there, under my skin, if I rub my eyelids with my fingers.
If it’s not hurting your actual eyeball (like, by scraping it), it’s probably a chalazion. Which I don’t think is really different from a stye.
I hope you don’t keep getting them like I have. xP
And yay for Jackie!’s surgery going well! Fingers crossed for good biopsy results!
Jenny says:
I know she’s not out of the woods yet, but am so glad to hear the good news about Jackie!
As for the stye, I have a friend who is having that happen (SWOLLEN eyelids) as a result of an allergic reaction to SUGAR. I feel terrible for her. She has 5 kids and says that people look at her like she is a monster with a million kids in the store. Gah. AND SUGAR!
Let’s HOPE that no scalpel gets near you, but know that Jackie! helps you keep it into perspective.
Will be thinking of Jackie! and her family and their held breath these next few days as you all wait for the results. Whatever they are, you guys are lucky to have each other!
Laura says:
So glad the surgery went smoothly! I’ll be thinking and praying for a smooth recovery for Jackie!
m says:
I used to get these all the time as a teenager. And while they do suck, I’ve never had to have one surgically removed — and I’ve had some that are easily twice the size of yours!
Take heart that they’re more like an abscess or pimple, not a tumor. They typically start in an eyelash follicle, when it gets plugged with oils and skin cells and all that gunk.
Fortunately, even when they do operate on abscesses, it’s literally just a tiny slice with a scalpel to allow it to drain. In large abscesses, they’ll place gauze packing inside to hold it open, so it heals from the bottom of the abscess toward the surface (the other way around and you’ll end up with an air pocket that’s prone to infection.) But in your eye, I’m suspecting that they just remove the entire damaged follicle and stitch it close, since they can’t use packing on an eyelid.
If it weren’t on your eye, you could drain it yourself with a sterile, brand-new, really sharp razor/exacto blade, since it’s really small. My uncle is a doctor and that’s his trick for draining small abscesses at home. (Sounds painful, but it doesn’t hurt if the razor is sharp. It actually feels a lot better within a second or two, once all the gunk escapes.) But I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t recommend trying it on your eyelid (sharps + near eyelid = bad idea).
m says:
Oh, one more tip:
You’re going to find it’s really difficult to flush the baby shampoo from your eye properly.
So, send Mike to the nearest Walgreens and ask him to pick up a bottle of Blairex Wound Wash Saline.
It’s sterile. It comes in an aerosol bottle, but the stream is really gentle, perfect for your eye or an open wound. You can literally just aim the stream into your eye and it’ll flush it out really well.
You can find Blairex Wound Wash Saline in the first aid aisle; it’s usually near the hydrogen peroxide, witch hazel, isopropyl alcohol, etc.
Also a must-have item if you have pets. Perfect for flushing out wounds.
It can be hard to find, so I’d try a Walgreens first — I’ve always found it there. Or a Rite Aid — most Rite Aids carry it too.
Here’s what the bottle looks like:

Melissa says:
I have an issue with stupid styes my entire life – NO fun! I get 5 or 6 a year – about the size of yours or bigger. It wasn’t bad in HS or College b/c I would just stay home. Now, with kids – they are quick to say things like OMG, MOM! Your creepy eye thing is back or Geeeeeeeze Mom, can’t you make that stop?! Or my favorite – Mom, I think that thing is going to eat your entire eye. We laugh about it but it really is gross! Your doc’s advice mirror all the things I’ve been told, so you should be fine!
Also – I am happy to hear that Jackie!’s surgery went well. I have always enjoyed what you have shared with us about your friendship and have said a prayer and sent her happy vibes everytime you mention her. Here is hoping she is on the mend.
Iowamom says:
Glad to hear Jackie!’s surgery went well! That’s great news. I’ve had a few styes before and they hurt! I hope it gets better for you soon!
Anonymous says:
I had to have the stye surgery twice! It really didn’t hurt, because I got 3 shots in my eyelid before to dumb the pain. It healed really quickly, and the surgery itself is only like 30 minutes. I had one in each inner corner of my lower eyelid. It was pretty gross, but I wanted it gone so badly I wasn’t too worried about the surgeries. Hopefully you don’t have to do that, but if you do it’s honestly not that bad. Good Luck!
karen says:
First…praying for your friend Jackie. My bff is in the hospital right now battling leukemia so I’m with you.
My daughter had a chalazia on her eyelid when she was 4. It looked like a little bb under the skin on her eyelid. we did the hot compresses and baby shampoo for a while to no avail. It was growing and starting to press into her eyeball so she had to have surgery. I was terrified of course but it was easy peasy…she had this big eye patch for a day or 2 but that was it. I hope your stye goes away and no surgery is necessary but if it is, try not to worry. Good luck. I think it looks like an Ethel.
buffi says:
Does the stye hurt? Because when I get one it always hurts like and SOB and throbs. SO, if we are naming the little (or BIG, because DAMN girl) thing, I believe it’s obvious:
You name it Osama. Osama bin Throbbin’.
Duh.
(PS Hooray Jackie! I have a name for that mass they cut out of her, but since this is a family blog, I will keep it to myself…)
Amy says:
Also very happy to hear Jackie!’s surgery is over and done with. Continuing to send all my best healing vibes to her. She sounds like a great gal and sorry she has to go through this %&(P!!
sherri says:
I used to get styes in my eyes all the time. ALL THE TIME. This was as a child. Isn’t it funny what you remember? Mine would be so bad that at times I couldn’t even OPEN my eyes (eww!) and I remember once on the way into the doctor my mom and I were in an elevator with these ladies, and one finally asked what in God’s name had happened to my eye. My mom told her she had punched me for being mouthy. Nice, mom. ANYWAY…I remeber another time I had them in both eyes at the same time, so I was sitting in front of the TV listening to Sesame Street when suddenly one of my eyes opened just the tiniest bit, and I was able to see Susan and Gordon! WOOT!! I was so excited. I can’t remember what I ate for dinner last night, but I can remember Sesame at age 3! Hee hee.
Kristin says:
I’m glad your friend’s surgery went well. Hope your stye clears up quickly.
amourningmom says:
I am so glad that Jackie!’s surgery went well. Will continue to send good thoughts and prayers to her. Hope that the stye goes away soon. (if not I guess you could get some eye patches to go with Jackie!’s excellent headbands :-)). Take care.
eliza says:
Thank you for the update on Jackie.
You’re still so beautiful even with a giant eyelid.
Lisa says:
I had to have 2 eye surgeries this summer to remove mine. They had me buy special eye lid wash (if you want the name let me know). My stys caused an infection in my face, so keep on top of this! (I was on course of oral antibiotics, prescription eye drops, AND steriod/antiobiotic cream and the damn things still didn’t go away!!)
Ray says:
That sucks about your eye. It could be caused by stress (though I’m no doctor). That’s great to hear that Jackie’s! surgery went well. I’ll be praying that the test results prove it’s just scar tissue.
