Title: always check your eye drops
Post by: kellyptyler on June 09, 2010, 06:04:22 AM
Always check your eye drop bottle before putting in your eye because you might accidentally pick up your nasal saline instead. Ask me how I know  ;D ;D Nasal saline in the eye burns.  :'(

That reminds me of the time I tried to brush my teeth with cortisone cream.

:-)

I'm at the point where I need to check EVERYTHING twice, three times even.

Thank you Carolina.  Not that I needed to be reminded, but for letting me know I am not alone in doing things like that!!  I check and re-check everything these days.

I have to check & recheck my pants to see if I've zipped them up.  I've walked out of the bathroom at work several times with my zipper undone.  Of course, none of the people I work with told me...  UGH!

Be nice if we don't have to use eye drops.  How would life be then?

Back in high school I woke up in the middle of the night because I was very stuffed up.  I grabbed the nasal spray off my desk (lights were off) and sprayed and sprayed - didn't help at all.  In the morning I realized I had been squirting contact lens solution up my nose  ;D

I now check and re-check everything as well.  Thought I was grabbing my Biotene mouth spray and grabbed a purse size bottle of hair spray instead.  Yuck!!!  :P

These are funny stories and I'm sure I will have one to tell soon!  Nice to be able to laugh.  Thanx! (still laughing; not at you but hopefully with you).

Just for the record - putting ear wax removal drops in your eyes also hurts like HECK.
Just don't ask me how i know that so well!
