Cripes, did I have a bad scare last night!

I've had nosebleeds, but not for over 10 years.

But last night my eye was itching, I rubbed it and my hand had blood on it!

Fortunately, I live a short walk from a hospital, turned out I have a stye in my left eye, and it broke open.

But was I scared!

Glad everything's ok. Did they tell you to put a hot washcloth on it?

Glad you are OK. Just a short walk from a hospital? That is rather convenient.

When my wife and I watch it, if nothing dramatic has happened in the first five minutes we start taking bets on which orifice will begin to bleed. Eyes are quite often the winner.

Glad your wasn't an exotic brain parasite or something.
