Man, I can’t catch a break, can I? I just recovered from that random ass cough, and now I have a swollen lower eyelid on my left eye. I am not entirely certain how the thing came to be — maybe hair got in my eye when I was sleeping, thus making it retain some fluid, or it could be the onset of a stye or chalazion. The latter two I have had experience dealing with in the past so it’s really not a big deal. The swelling itself isn’t debilitating at all, but it makes me feel like I’m making a permanent “durr hurr” face because of how my eye appears with the swelling. The one thing that is curious is that I have dealt with this in the past using warm compresses, but recently I have been recommended to do a cold compress with ice instead. Not sure if it’s working in the long run, but I’m gonna trust this advice I have been given and just roll with it. Hopefully it will be taken care of within the next two or three days because I’m gonna be travelling again soon.
