Saline Solution Recalled; also, Heidi bemoans the universe

Urgent warning to anyone who uses AMO Complete Moisture Plus Multi-Purpose Solution for their contact lenses. It is being recalled because they've found a higher instance of Acanthamoeba Keratosis in the users. It's resistant to most drugs and it can cause blindness.

And now for the fun part of the story-- my eye doctor gave me that very saline solution to use with the too-small contacts that lacerated my left eye. I've had an eye infection since the day I put them in (only wore them one day) and my doctor is not sure why the regular-old-eye-infection is not healing. Well. It's because it might not be just a regular-old-eye-infection. It might be an AMOEBA IN MY EYE.

Yes, yes, thanks, universe. I fly out for my wedding in three days and just now discover that there might be an AMOEBA IN MY EYE.

Grrrrreeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaat.

I have to spend tomorrow being pin-balled (doctor's words) around the city to various eye specialists to make sure. Doc says it may or may not be, and since it's so early if it IS so, there's a good chance it'll be healed. It just means I'll have to wear glasses at my wedding. Two weeks ago the idea made me miserable. Now I'd be content just to avoid blindness.
