Ojo Rojo
Monday, April 18, 2011 at 9:40AM Translated from Spanish that title would be “Red Eye” which is not really the issue. It would be Pink Eye that is the subject of this post but Ojo Rojo just sounds better.
So my wife wakes up Saturday morning with Pink Eye. Please join me in booing. “Boo!”
We had planned to have people over to see the new house and hopefully get some swimming in.
She went to urgent care to get medicine while the kids and I got to cleaning up around the house.
By the time she was back and medicated the kids and I were itching to get into the pool. The kids had tried to get in during the week but it was not warm enough. By Saturday felt like summer so we were determined to get in at some point.
We got changed, grabbed our towels, and went out. Gillian jumped right in because she is so hard core. George and I took our time, which was more like torture but eventually made it in.
After about 30 minutes of swimming I hopped out to check my bg. It was 80. Lower than the temperature outside but higher than the temperature in the water! Brr. I grabbed a snack, snapped a picture, and hopped back in.
It’s funny how that hour of so in the pool made me feel like I was on vacation. Like I really relaxed and rested for once.
All day Sunday I felt so mellow and chilled out and I honestly think it all stems from that time in the pool. It was wonderful and I hope it heats up some more real soon because I can get used to feeling that way.
My wife is doing better. Her eye is clearing up.
I, on the other hand, woke up to a crusted up and cloudy eye.
GREAT!

OK, sounds like swimming agrees with you and I think you need to make room for more pool time in your life!
Sorry to hear that your wife had "Ojo Rojo" and sorry that you now have it !
Get better quick and get back in the pool!
Finally, is it ok if I start referring to you as Pool Boy, or do yo prefer Pool Ninja?

BOOOOO about the ojo rojo! and YEEEEYYY about the pool and relaxation!!!! :-D
What is it about a dip in the pool that automatically takes you back to when you where a kid on spring or summer vacation? So glad you were able to enjoy the gorgeous weather (it was AWESOME wasn't it?!) bus so sorry you both now have the ojo rojo! Get better quickly & hope that your kids don't come down with it!
Trying to post my comment again... hmm what did I say...
Oh no! Pink eye! I think that might be the most contagious thing out there!!
One of our team members got it while we were in Haiti and we were turning on faucets, opening doors, and dishing up her food until the antibiotics could take effect. I guess I'd prefer that to the alternative!
Yay for the pool!!!!! Boo for the ojo rojo!!!!! :( Hope you are both much better soon.
