Thomas & Friends: Looks like Percy has a little case of pink eye.

You know that feeling? You wake up, and your eye just doesn't feel right. It’s scratchy, maybe a little red, and blinking doesn’t seem to help. #conjunctiva #cornea #dryeye #eyeinflammation #eyeirritation #Keratoconjunctivitis #pinkeye
Update: The patient has died.
"Concerning" #BirdFlu mutations in Louisiana patient underscores #pandemic potential of #H5N1
By Nicole Karlis, Published December 31, 2024
"In 2024, at least 66 human cases of bird flu have been reported in the United States, each one raising the risk of another pandemic like COVID-19. So far, most cases have been described as 'mild,' which means they weren't hospitalized. No patients have died, though infections years ago had a very high mortality rate. Symptoms have typically included #PinkEye, but not serious respiratory distress.
"However, a patient recently made headlines in Louisiana for being a more severe case. The patient, who is reportedly over the age of 65, was hospitalized and in critical condition due to severe respiratory symptoms.
"Last week, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said a genetic analysis suggests the virus mutated inside the patient to possibly make it a more severe illness in humans. The agency called the mutation 'concerning,' as it may allow the virus to better bind to receptors in humans' upper airways. This would make it easier to jump from person to person, sparking major outbreaks or even a pandemic. However, the public health agency said that the risk to the general public from the outbreak 'has not changed and remains low.' ['Cuz, shop till you drop!]
"The CDC also stated that these mutations HAVE NOT [emphasis mine] been detected in the bird flock that infected the patient, which would make the situation 'more concerning.' [Just like the case in British Columbia]
"'These changes would be more concerning if found in animal hosts or in early stages of infection (e.g., within a few days of symptom onset) when these changes might be more likely to facilitate spread to close contacts,' the CDC said in its report. 'Notably, in this case, no transmission from the patient in Louisiana to other persons has been identified.'"

Two for One Special
So the diagnosis is indeed conjunctivitis. Yippee. Asa bonus though, there is also another stye too. I guess I have one in each eye. Jackpot, or something.
Here is a picture of a cat to cheer my sick eyes up a little.

Waiting…
At an urgent care place. They are playing Xmas music. I would literally go insane if I worked here.
I’m taking bets on the diagnosis. The smart money is on conjunctivitis.
Piiiiiink eyeeeeeee.

What’s Up, Doc?
I just booked a doctor’s appointment for after work tonight.
I think I have…
Conjunctivitis.
In other words…
(say this like zombie Pip from the first Halloween episode of South Park)
Piiiiink eyeeeeeee.
Crud.

(I know I posted on Saturday, my eye was not happy at all, and it showed on Sunday……. So this is why I am taking it easy)
Pink Eye sucks ass.
Hey.
I know it’s big day in sports today but unfortunately my eye is not cooperating at all.
It’s much butter but unfortunately still having issues when trying to focus on the screen, and giving little bit of headaches. (Normal side effect of the medication)
So going to take another night off, but going to try again tomorrow night.
Again, so sorry but I’ll need to get my eye healthy first.
Update to pink eye:
Still have it but thanks to antibiotics, much better than yesterday.
So I should be able to live post game 2 of World Series.
(I really wanted to live post yesterday but there was no way with just one functioning eye yesterday)
For years, I've been in the light-theme camp (except for the terminal, of course) and never understood the hype around dark themes. But pink eye (conjunctivitis) changed my mind. Now, to all those sites and apps without dark mode — I'm looking at you and literally crying. 😢
Conjuctivitis (Pink Eye) : Symptoms, Causes, & Treatment

So I'm seeing enough anecdotal incidents of
"pinkeye" that tested pos(+) for influenza a (#H5N1 falls under flu a)
"pinkeye" that tested neg(-) for pinkeye and #Covid
"pinkeye" that urgent care didn't bother testing but severe pain & whole family & baseball team had
"#Pinkeye" in agriculture worker
etc etc
in #Oregon that I'm getting a little edgy
The advice I see them getting online is to contact CDC for testing. #BirdFlu #AvianFlu
I hope they are.
I have a bad feeling about this.
Yesterday’s haiku mentioned that I feel like I have a black eye. I don’t have a black eye though. It’s just swollen and sore. What’s going on?
I might have a guess. I made a doctors appointment for afterwork tonight to see if my guess is correct. If it is, then we’re going to have to keep me away from Worcestershire sauce* for a while. Fortunately there have been some amazing advances in topical creams, so I should be okay if the worst is true.
My question for the doctor… do I have… Pink Eye?
*This whole post is a reference to the first South Park Halloween episode. If you don’t get the references then I apologize for your lack of culture. That first Halloween episode is one of the finest 30 minute television time slots in broadcast/cable/streaming history. It is perfection.

The danger, yet sometimes salvation, of #MultiTasking
See, I was done in #TheTiniestRoom and bent down to press the lever aside the tank. But I also knocked something off the edge of the vanity. So all at once, I did three things:
* Flush
* Pick up the thing
* Blink
I felt a droplet of liquid hit my eyelid. But since it hit my eyelid and not my eye, I might not get #PinkEye
