Eye of the tiger.. literally.

Hello!! So I haven't posted in a long while but hey! I have a great story I got out of it! So three words: Surprise swollen eye.

So I start getting these crazy headaches behind one eye, at noon, every day for about two weeks, two months ago right? I thought they were migraines from stress. So when they come back this month I assume it's just stress again, which would make sense seeing as it was the end of the semester for me.  So then when I wake up Sunday morning and my eye is swollen, I get a little worried... no headache I've ever had has made my eye swell. I was pretty sure it meant I was going blind for a while... but after talking to two trusted physicians (my sister and my aunt) it was determined that a swollen eye was not a death sentence.
But then I went home...
And woke up the next day...
And my eye was almost swollen shut.
Now I promise I'm not exaggerating. I woke up for work at around 5:30 and looked in the mirror and bam.. Quasimodo (I actually watched The Hunchback of Notre Dame for the first time the other day.. coincidence, I think not). My eyebrow was arched up and my eye socket seemed to be inside out. So am I freaked out? Yes I am. its 5:30 in the morning and my eye is a huge squinty squishy blob on my face. So after getting work off and emailing my teachers about how I wouldn't be in class due to a deformed face, I hopped on the train to the doctor.
The up side to this is that no one sat by me and I had a whole booth to myself. hahaha
So the doctor didn't even know what was wrong I don't think.. or if he did he didn't explain the problem to me... But basically he gave me magic pills with a map on the back and the headaches and swelling went away! So now I'm going to wait and see if this happens again in two months. If it does, I have someone on flowers for my funeral already, and I'd like to request a TARDIS blue casket and if it looked like the TARDIS that would be an added bonus...?
Anyway. Ta ta.
