Is it my lucky day?

Okay, that's it!  I'm done!  I have had an eye infection that started in my left eye 6 days ago.  Two days ago it spread to my right eye.  I have been using Erythromycin because I have it and didn't have to go to the doctor to get it.  I had an eye infection when I was pregnant with Mason and since I was pregnant they wouldn't give me the drops.  Erythromycin is the nasty, goopy gel stuff that you use for babies and kids typically.  Anyhow, I have been using that only it hasn't been working.  I REALLY didn't want to have to go to the doctor but as of this morning, I had had enough.  I woke up with both eyes "glued" shut...again!  So I called the appointment line to get a same day appointment.  They had one at 8:40am which was fine, it just meant that I had to hurry.  We got to the clinic on base at 8:40 exactly.  So much for being 15 minutes early.  I get checked in and go to sit down.  About 20 seconds later I hear "Mike-us....Mike-us".  I'm thinking...honestly, is that her best rendition of my last name?  REDICULOUS!  Well apparently it was because when I went up to her and said "Macias?"  She said "Brianna?"  Yep, thats me.  And she had an attitude!  So we get back to the room, the boys are being great.  She takes all of my information, the doc comes in, asks me a few questions, looks in my eyes and sends me off to the pharmacy.  This is by far the most painful part of the whole thing.  In most cases we sit in the pharmacy for close to an hour.  Not this time.  We were in and out of the clinic with my eye drops in 20 minutes.  I never saw it coming, but I couldn't be happier.
