Cause, Meet Effect

I woke up yesterday morning and it looked like my right eye had exploded. It was totally bloody on one side of my eyeball. Since I essentially have no hair, I have zero need to ever look at myself in the mirror, so the kids noticed it first while I was driving them to school.

“Eeeewww! Dad, what’s wrong with your eye?”

“Ummm, I don’t know?”

It didn’t hurt, I hadn’t smashed into anything, or rubbed it excessively. My eye feels completely normal. Seems like maybe a blood vessel just burst on its own and that makes me look like an extra from a zombie movie. I’ve been incredibly busy at work and since it doesn’t bother me, I’ve kind of ignored it. But it is a little strange and disconcerting.

Co-worker: What happened to your eye?

Me: No idea, I just woke up and it was like this. Kind freaky, huh?

Co-worker: That used to happen to my grandpa. He had high blood pressure. Do you have high blood pressure?

Me: Well, now I do.

Take a gander. 

1. OUCH.  I’d have bet you lost!

   Good to have a sense of humor...and a good doctor!

2. Hey, is that HAIR I see in the picture?? :-)

   BTW, I’m now a part of the absolutely-no-hair-on-my-head club. Took the plunge this morning.. been whittling away at it for a few years and got down to a #1 until today… straight blade baby ;-)

   I call it baldness preemption :-)

Holy Crap! Look at all this STUFF down here. It's awesome!

 

Really, I'm glad you made it down here. Almost no one ever comes down here. I'm like in a freaking dungeon down here. I get lonely. But not you. YOU made it all the way to the end of the page. For this I think I've a little crush on you. I don't know, is "love" to strong a word to use in this situation? Well, if it's not "love," then it's very strong "like." I'm totally in like with you for coming down here. You are awesome. Please love me back! I know, I know, I shouldn't be all needy, it's not attractive at all, but you don't know how it is to be stuck down here. Who scrolls all the way to the end of a page anymore these days? Anyway, thanks for shedding some light down here in the depths. I appreciate it. Shoot me an email and I'll send you a dollar, OK?
