I have to go to the eye doctor tomorrow. I have had a chalazion (a blocked oil gland) on my lower eyelid since July. As it has now grown to grotesque proportions, I am finally going to do something about it. Often, a chalazion will go away if you apply a warm compress to it for 10-15 minutes, two to four times a day. I really did try to use the warm compresses, but found it somewhat impractical. I can't see much without my glasses, but couldn't apply the warm compress with them on. With a one-year-old and a three-year-old running around the house, I had a hard time sitting still for that long without being able to see well what they were up to!
I really hate to take any kind of medication, even Tylenol, but sometimes I am too stubborn for my own good. The other day I had a headache for over nine hours before I finally gave in. My headache started around noon, and it was a long afternoon and evening because my husband had to work late (so he can stay with the kids tomorrow morning while I go to the eye doctor). I made it through dinner and got the kids to bed. Then I went straight to bed myself. After laying in bed for an hour with my head pounding, thinking that surely my headache would go away any minute, I finally took the Tylenol. It felt amazingly good to wake up headache-free the next morning!
On the subject of Drew and the baby wipes, my husband was partially right. I was so frustrated about it that I remembered to put the wipes up after each diaper change all day yesterday. Then, after a frustration-free day yesterday, I forgot again today. Ack! My husband's other suggestion was to use duct tape to tape the wipes box closed. What is it with men and duct tape?
