SML and I laughed a lot about this because we were both allowed one sick card during the trip and we both cashed in. On our last Saturday I had an incident with my contact and I literally thought it bent over on itself and was lodged between the back of my eyeball and was poking my brain; BECAUSE THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT IT FELT LIKE.

On Sunday morning I woke up relatively early because I couldn’t open my eyelids anymore due to a really grotesque green slime that had grown around my eyeball. I woke up SML an hour later and asked him if he’d go to the Krankenhaus with me. He was really good about this; he never complained that I woke him up before the sunrise and didn’t even tell me about his fear that I would go blind until well later in the afternoon.

We weren’t completely successful at finding a Krankenhaus because there was somewhat of a language barrier between us and the entire nation of Germany. When we finally did find a hospital that would help me, I couldn’t even explain that I thought a contact was stuck in my right eye. After an eye test, they found that my left eye seemed to be having the most trouble despite the oozing and bloated eye on the right.

I’m not even completely sure what was wrong with my eye. My eyelids were turned inside out and one point and then I was sent home with a patch over my eye. I felt just like a pirate and SML even suggested I keep it on permanently because it really added to my good looks.

I’m going to post pictures later of my vacation; there are some pretty good ones, but I probably won’t have anything until tomorrow or so.
