Ready..VENT! What keeps you from getting to the pool?
Me first.
I am so bummed. Traffic was all jammed up because of an accident and oil spill on the expressway. It took me 2 hours and 10 minutes to get home. That's a 10 mile drive. I could have run faster if they let me take a straight line on the highway. I sat and peeled and ate an orange without even creeping forward. And not one of those tangelos or zipper peel kinds. Thank goodness I had snacks. I certainly didn't think to visit the ladies room before I left work. Normally even in the worst of traffic it's less than an hour. I couldn't even get off the highway because all the exits were jammed because the city was blocked up because people couldn't get on the highway.
And I thought traffic was going to be wasy because of school vacation week.
I work full time and go to school part time. That ate up all my swimming time for the evening. I went to work and left work early to get in some good pool time tonight.
Blech.
Your turn...NEXT!

It's interesting that this discussion should come up now. I had an appt. with my eyedoc a few weeks ago, because my left eye had been bothering me. He said I had blocked meibomian ducts, took a pic and showed me. It looked similiar to what you describe. Also recommended the warm compress and then gently massaging the lower eyelid to work the plugs loose. Since I've been doing this the dry eye problem has all but disappeared.
Thanks poolraat! I love your cute little doggie avatar by the way. That is precious.
I never even heard of meibomian ducts. I learn something new every day. Thank you so much for the support. Will keep my fingers crossed. Warm compress worked wonders for me yesterday! Who would have thought?! Take care of your meibomian ducts and I'll do the same with my lacrimal ducts!
