I burst a blood vessel in my eye once, and it was pretty gnarly. Also, I didn’t notice until people at work started commenting, so that was fun. But it didn’t hurt and it resolved, and nothing ever came of it.

It’s possible I’m looking at a recurrence tomorrow, though. I literally just put a calendar block on for tomorrow morning marked “Crying”.
We’re saying goodbye to Mozzie this afternoon. He took a 3 to 4 week prognosis and turned it in to an extra 10 months on sheer stubbornness. But it’s taking a turn the last week or two and especially the last couple of days. So here we are.

Aww so sorry to hear that Brenda. I hope it’s loving and peaceful.
Plus honey, garlic, and probably goldenseal.
Dunno about goldenseal but at least honey and garlic have antibacterial properties! And are yummy, though maybe not together.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Brenda, I’m so sorry. It’s never easy.

I'm sorry, Brenda. Good on the stubborn Mozzie for the 10 months extra. So hard.
