My First Time I Got Pink Eye
The first time I got pink eye I was
scared. My eye was hurting me. I had thick yellow
mucus coming out of my eye and my eye was very itchy and dry.
It was burning every time I looked to move my eye. Then
it spread to my other eye.
It felt like it was never going to go
away. I had it for a week. I had to take some eye drops
for it.
Then I found out that the way I got it was
from a lady at my job which is at Eger Nursing Home. The
people at work did not tell me the resident had pink eye and
she kept holding my hand one day at work and then I had rubbed
my eye.
I wish I would have known she had it
because then I wouldn’t have had to worry about it.
The lady is a nice little sister (nun).
From that day on I am very careful about washing my hands
all the time before I touch any part of my body or any one else
so no one else can catch anything because I wouldn’t want
anyone else to have to go through the same thing I did.
