This morning Jerry woke up with his eye looking like this...As the morning went on Jerry said his head was hurting and his eye continued looking worse. I went over to Wal Mart to pick up some Visine A thinking maybe he had an Allergy effecting his eye, but the shelf was empty. I talked to the pharmacist and she said that it probably wasn't an allergy since it was only one eye and not both. She recommended I purchase a lubricating eye drop to lubricate and hopefully push the infection out of his eye. She also suggested I take him in to see a physician. I arrived home and put a few eye drops in his eye. Waiting awhile, it didn't seem to make a difference. So Jerry and I proceeded to the local Urgent Care. By the time we arrived at Urgent Care Jerry's eye was swollen shut with only a slit. The physician on duty said it didn't look like anything she had seen. She didn't think it was an allergy, or pink eye and thought perhaps it might be some type of insect bite. But, didn't really know what to do about the situation. She suggested cold compresses, Benedryl and gave us a prescription for Methylprednisolone. We stopped to fill the prescription and headed home. Jerry took a nap for about an hour and felt better when he woke up. But, his eye didn't look any better. By late Sunday 03.15.09 afternoon his eye looked a lot better and the headache Jerry had this morning next to his eye was gone. Hopefully, his eye and him is recovering.
