I’m currently – temporarily – blind on one side, not because there is anything wrong with my eyes per se but because the left eye is swollen shut (i.e. the tissue around the eye is swollen). I’m now both on antihistamins and antibiotics because the doctor couldn’t tell if this is an allergic reaction or an infection. Where is Gregory House when you need him (”Damn, the patient has a verruca on the left big toe! Everybody knows when a patient with plantar warts eats horseradish they will excrete an enzyme that makes his Hypothalamus swell until it exerts pressure on the optic nerve” – “But Dr. House, the patient has not eaten any horseradish” – “Well then, go feed him some”) ?

This is a nuisance, no big deal, but it means more delay on programming work since I can’t properly read the screen. Sorry about that.
