I think I dodged a bullet

This time of the year is typically difficult on my eyes, mostly because there are at least 3 different wattle trees in our neighbors' yards. Those trees are the reason I have to use a clothes dryer and not hang things out to dry outside.

I had been having pain in my left eye. Then on Friday, it was red, and the conjunctiva was visibly swollen, as was a 1 cm part of my lower eyelid. I got to pharmacy, got mild antibiotic eye drops and a topical antihistamine drops. Less than one day of using the recommended dosings, my eye has almost totally recovered. Didn't go into full blown pinkeye.

Last thing I need is a repeat of 6 weeks in a darkened room, like what happened a few years ago. I am very grateful for this.
