nasty eye... mal de ojo! that mean bad eye but in Latin America, it a curse.

well, for me to go to the emergency room at vandy normally isn't a big deal- seeing that i usually spend most of my time there anyway for work, but last week i went for another reason- my eye. i thought periorbital cellulitis or a new food allergy. I woke up last saturday morning and my eye was swollen shut. i didn't really want to wait until monday to see some one so i went on. first i went to the minute clinic, and they wouldn't treat me and sent me on my way to the ED (Emergency Department). They thought i was having some sort of allergic reaction to something- but no idea what. i was miserable! here's a picture and i apologize for the gross pre-bathing, no makeup, extra close-up shot...

well, no one could really tell me what exactly started it, but thankfully it looks "normal" now.

not quite yet, i got severe poison ivy all over... will it ever end? they thought it may be shingles at first (or again - shingles of 2006- not fun), but now after consulting with the 5th doctor in a week, the opinion is bad poison ivy with an allergic reaction to something else, too.

craziness...

i am still working on my new house and hope to post "I'm Finished" before the end of the year! I had hoped to be in before grad school started next month- but it seems too hard to imagine. here's some pix of the progress.

have a nice day.
