Quake3World

Today I wanted to go to a paintball game that my friend organised, however yesterday I noticed that my eye hurt. It felt like an eyelash was stuck in it, but there was nothing there. The pain went away when I put in my contacts, so I just went to work and forgot about it. At night it bothered me, but if I closed my eyes and didn't open them, the pain went away, so I was fine.

We were supposed to meet at 6:30am, so I woke up around 5:30am and noticed that my eye hurt again. I saw that my eyelid was swolen, too. It was really annoying me, so I google eye infections and saw one that had the same symptoms that I was experiencing (periorbital cellulitis) so after some hesitation I decided that I should really not risk it and went to Lakeshore General Hospital. I arrived at 6:45am and I was out at 7:25am, having seen a doctor and having a prescription for some antibiotics in my hand The waiting room was completely empty at this time, so I barely read the book that I brought (needless to say I was expecting to be there for a while).

Anyway, what I want to say is that if you have an emergency, its better to have it early morning on Saturday

my wife broke her toe last week, took her down to the A&E, had to pay A$105 up front before a doctor would look at her toe
was there for 2.5 hours

I'll make a note of that next time I break my collarbone
