The Likeness is Astounding!

Hello All,

I have discovered my long lost brother. The likeness between us is astounding, you can barely tell us apart:

Alright in all seriousness, we aren't brothers, but still the likeness...

Okay, so for the past few days I have had a pain in my eye, I'm sure it was a sty. For those of you not familiar with this condition: an acute inflammation of a gland at the base of an eyelash, caused by bacterial infection. Sounds fun doesn't it. Last night before I went to bed I googled the problem and found that a warm compress should help it, so I compressed it for about 15 minutes while attempting to read with my other eye and no glasses...I wasn't very successful.

So this morning I get up and make my way the bathroom only to look in the mirror and be amazed by my likeness to Quasimodo. One eye swollen and puffy, I could hardly even see out of it. My half-asleep wife says "It's not that bad". Seriously, you don't have to glaze over the truth when it is painfully obvious (no pun intended) that it's bad. I decided to go to the urgent care. Of course I put on my glasses and hat when I went out, the idea was to use the hat to draw attention away from my face and talk towards the ground whenever I spoke to someone.

It worked for the most part. The Doctor says there is now an infection in my eyelid, fun. I am on antibiotics for 10 days, not so fun. I am hoping that by Saturday the swelling will have gone down a bit. For now, I am a leper, hiding in the darkness of my house - if only I had a bell to ring...
