A ride to the A & E

I managed about half an hour maybe three quarters in the shed earlier today before I had to come back inside in pain. I have been suffering with a swollen eyeball (yes sounds lovely doesn't it?) Well we realised it happened most when I went down to the garden and the shed. The last few times I have come back up in really bad pain, this time Tony told me we had to do something about it. So we took a ride up to the A&E at Pinderfields hospital.
We didn't have to wait long which is unusual for there but good for us I was still in a lot of pain. The doctor that we saw asked a few questions looked in my eye, Tony as usual explained that he was with me and would probably have to answer for me at times because of my memory problems, (eh what memory problems me never).
Anyhow after putting drops in my eyes that nearly made me jump through the ceiling they stung that much, then dyeing my eye orange the doctor diagnosed that I had "Allergic Conjunctivitis " Oh wow I thought another bloody allergy lucky me!
Well I suppose we had done well we hadn't been long, we left the doctor with an appointment for the eye clinic on friday and a prescription for eye drops to collect at the pharmacy on the way out.
Half an hour later, a lot of foot tapping and deep breathing we finally left the hospital, oh and don't get me started on the parking. £ 1.30 an hour and now they have barriers so you get a ticket when you go in and you pay before you go back to the car so if you are 1 or 2 minutes over the hour you have to pay for 2 hours, I told you not to get me started on the parking!!!

Anyway I did manage a few photo's before the pain in my eye got too bad to stand so here you are ...









Oh and no I don't know what I am allergic to that is causing my eye to be affected it could be anything in the garden, the shed or even the bird food I may never know.
