The other night I came up to bed. Rick was already there and when I walked into the room, I knew that something was wrong. His one eye was totally bloodshot.
Me: What the HELL happened to to your eye?
Rick: I put eardrops in it. I went to get eye drops for my itchy eyes and found a little bottle of Murine. I thought it was FREAKING eye drops but they were EAR DROPS! The bottle was the right shape, with a little dropper at the end. Since when does Murine make EAR DROPS??? It is PEROXIDE!!!
Me: Oh My God. Are you OK? Do we need to go to the hospital?
Rick: No, I managed to find some Visine and after carefully studying the label with my good eye, determined that it was safe to put in.
Me: lost it… absolutely hysterical, laughing
Rick: It’s NOT funny! It’s like someone giving you Aspirin and after you take two, you find out it is actually Aspirin brand Laxatives. sheesh…grumble grumble
Ah yes, the net of hazardgirl has been flung far and wide.
I hope he flushed the eye with water before he put the visine in! OUCH!
I am the dear husband here and I would never use the work sheesh.
Sheesh!
Y’know, as someone in the eye biz, we tend to recommend against putting ear drops in one’s eyes … specifically ones with peroxide.
Drop some Visine in your ear. Maybe it will even out.
Good to know that hazardgirlitis can be contagious when slept with …
