Me - I called my doctor on the chance that someone would be able to call in a prescription. Mirabile dictu et stupor mundi, their branch in Feeding Hills was open, so I went down and got myself checked. The doctor thinks I came in just as the pinkeye was starting and gave me prescription eye drops for the next couple of days. The itching is already better, and I'm going to try some of the self-care tips you kind and good people suggested.

Siren - seems perfectly fine. I keep having to remind myself that cats can, and do, barf for no discernible reason....

Yay for your eye!

As for the cat, I believe their default reason for throwing up is to give the human dirt slave some suitable employment. :)

Glad things are better - conjunctivitis is disgusting, so I'm glad you got on it straight away!

That's excellent news, both parts! I'm glad you called and it worked out so well.

p.s. you probably already know this, but you might want to launder your sheets and pillowcases tomorrow, so as to get rid of any lingering cooties.

Did that on the way home from the doctor, plus everything that Siren threw up on. Sheets, towels, the clothes I wore yesterday....

Yay for feeling and being better!

If I hadn't been able to get in to see him I probably have bailed on the lunch tomorrow. Pinkeye is insanely contagious.

I've had it a couple of times so I knew exactly what was happening. It's nasty stuff.

I've only had it once, as a kid, but I remember finding it miserable. Especially when I woke up with my eyes gummed together and didn't know what the hell was wrong...

Glad to hear kitty is well, and her mama is on her way to wellness. Hopefully you can knock off work tomorrow.

:-)
