Eye have problems

[xt1me]

Thankfully it's completely different problem to my previous eye issues.
Well, I say completely different, but it is tangibly related.

last weekend I noticed the underside of my lower right eyelid was red.
I had just had an eyelash fall into my eye so I didn't think much of it as the time.
But Sunday night, when I was putting in my eye ointment (I'm still on ointment and drops until September) I notice a red bump.
Some sort of cyst or sore.

As it was a long weekend so I couldn't ring up the eye specialist until Tuesday but when I did I was told it was ok to go to my GP for it. (Saving me 130 euro for the specialist at least.) I had things to do that day after work anyway so I first stopped into Specsavers on the off change they could deal with it but they said to go to a GP in case something needed to be prescribed.

I went to my Doctor's and the next available slot was the next day at 5.

That was fine. I work morning shifts now so that was plenty of time to finish work and get into town.
So much time, in fact, that I decided to treat myself and go to a restaurant and get a steak.

It was nice, but I got a little too comfortable with the time and had to rush after my meal to make it to the appointment.
Still, I got there just as the 5 o'clock news came on the radio so I made good time.

The issues is thankfully not to big a deal.
It was basically a blocked pour, probably from that eyelash.

I'm pretty sure it's because I'm too paranoid to rub my eye anymore so I'm not cleaning out the debris properly.

The doctor gave me a basic cleaning routine for it and prescribed some antibiotic eye drops just in case.

But this isn't the end of the story.

I gave the name of a pharmacy I was going to be passing by on the way home. it was only about 5-10 mins away so I arrived pretty quickly so it was still open.
Unfortunately they didn't have the antibiotics in stock.

The people at the pharmacy were really nice though and said they try and contact the Doctor to see if there was an alternative I could get.
By this point it was coming closer to 6.
In the mean time I could try and ring around to other pharmacies to see if any had it and they would pass along my prescription if I found one.

I don't know what Fucithalmic drops actually are but apparently there was a supplier issue so nowhere had any.

Thankfully, the pharmacy was able to get though to the Doctor's office and she changed my prescription.

I am very grateful for the extra mile they went though to get it since they could have just sent me away or made me come back another day since it wasn't technically that urgent.

All in all everything turned out all right but it was a long day.
The delay did mean that I missed most of the traffic on the way home though.
