CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?

Well it's TST time again, and Rach has coughed up the perfect story this weekend...

As you all know we have been fighting the bug around here for the last few weeks, with a butt-load of stress from some outside sources....

Along with losing her voice and sporting a terrible wracking cough, she also got a nasty eye infection to go along with it all.... IN BOTH EYES.

Yeah my gal does nothing half way....

(Rach In: Umm, thanks Hon? For that lovely visual you just gave all my friends).

So we go to the Doc's office last week and get some eye drops for her eyes. She faithfully administers the doses, and her eyes at least start to clear up a little, cause them puppies were bad looking, like two pee out holes in a snow bank bad...

(Warning:  Graphic image ahead that will make your eyes water)

(Rach In:  Oh.no.you.dinnt.  I was only kidding about the lovely visual - take it back!  Take it back!  You'd better watch your TST backside!  On a side note, those "ladies" on my doorstep should have run when they saw this, right?)

We get up Sunday morning and her left eye is looking red and inflamed, and painful looking...

So she heads off to the bathroom to put some of the prescription eye drops in....

Now folks she is deaf, but there is definitely nothing wrong with her pipes. There was the most God-awful commotion and sounds coming from our bathroom....shrieking and stomping her feet, and a fair amount of pre-church communion with God...

(Rach In:  I think you lovingly referred to it as "caterwauling", Dear.  And for the record - seeing as it's MY BLOG and all - I was simply urgently letting the man know, "I'M BLIND!  I'M BLIND!")

My first thought was she had accidentally gotten into my country fresh elk urine, cause I keep it in a similar looking applicator bottle... and everyone knows that it is as good a battery acid for removing stains and minor irritants.

(Rach In: Ohhhhhhhhhhh!)

So I rush in to save my precious hunting scents check on my beautiful wife, to find that there was nothing to worry about in that regard. She had just mistakenly picked up her ear drops, which are in the same looking applicator bottle as the eye drops, (and elk pee).....

Now she claims not, but I'm thinking that she might have thought that the ear drops would enable her to read lips better, cause she is a smart gal after all. But I'm here to tell you, the results were not quite what she was counting on...

(Rach In:  Oh My Lord, you did not just say that)

But if you go by the old adage that if it tastes like crap, or hurts like the dickens, it is good for what ails you, then she definitely had picked a winner....

When I finally caught up to her and pieced together the story, we Googled the ear drops to find that although they are not FDA approved, some doctors had prescribed it for some eye infections...

(Rach In:  Excuse me?!?!  You were bent over double laughing while I held a towel to my face and squinted with the other eye while frantically typing with one finger.  A lotta help YOU were!  And while we're at it - thanks for offering to "rinse" my eye out with the kitchen sink sprayer... THAT HURT LIKE THE DICKENS)

Told you that my gal was smart....*snicker*

But I'd give you even money that the elk urine woulda been a better bet.....

just saying..........
