Thanks so much, folks! I'm into my 3rd day of antibiotics and other assorted pills. I'm taking the same antibiotics for both problems...one in eye drop form and the other in a pill.

Believe it or not, even though I look like a rabbit (red, dripping eyes), and still have a bad pain (it started subsiding a little before I went to the emergency room), I haven't missed a job. I can't see well enough to drive, but I just got my bass playing son to drive me.

I went to the emergency room at 11:00 AM on Saturday. The scan of my abdomen and evaluation of the eye were done by 1:00 PM.

My son had my 5:00 PM equipment set (a patio at the club) before he came to get me. When I played that job, he set the 9:00 PM one, which is the trio.

At 1:00 AM, I went to my editing suite, but couldn't see well enough to do an "all-nighter". I did one 30, listened to about an hour of edits and called it a day...or night.

Because the stomach pain had started on the previous Monday, I had scheduled a light Sunday.

Monday, I put in a whole day at the office and played my regular dining job...luckily, the business was light and I left after two hours.

Today, I'm at the office (got here at 7:00 AM) and plan to work my regular evening gig.

The redness isn't so bad, and it's time to cut the antibiotic eye drops to every 4 hours, instead of 2.

I'm doing this with the shaking head, but the approval of both my eye and GP doctors.

This is what I know, and it has taken my mind off the discomfort.

The amazing thing is, my son noticed the red eye at noon, and I was in serious trouble the next day.


You never know..


Thanks for the good thoughts!
