Pink Eye

Whoa. It's been a while since I updated my blog. Anyway, I just wanna tell you guys that I was having a test within a test yesterday. While I was sitting for my English paper, my left eye was in pain. Now, that's a test for me. Luckily, we human are given 2 eyes. So, I was depending on my right eye to see the question and my answer script. And that was quite hard plus I had a flu during the test. =.='

I cried a lot because somehow I knew that the tears can make it go away. Well, it's futile. And of course I cried because I couldn't stand the pain. It's worse than having shampoo in the eye because you can wash that away by using water. At night time, I went to PK. Thanks to Amy for accompany me there as I can't walk there while my eyes couldn't open properly. Yes. I just shut my eyes down because it was so painful to open my left eye.

The doctor said I had conjunctivitis or known as pink eye. He told me to sit, stand or move around. Don't lie down. If I wanna lie down, I need to put a few pillows underneath my head so that it will be higher than my body. Memang sakit badan la tido malam tadik.

The doc gave me an eye ointment, antibiotic and some pill to prevent my eye become swollen.
