"the ogre wink"

I awoke this morning to a monster in the mirror. I've had a painful sty for the last couple of mornings but after a shower and some allergy medicine it was unnoticeable. Well, last night my sty exploded in size. I now look like an ogre mid-wink. So I did what any well informed patient would do when her medical school student was unavailable at work... I checked it out on Web MD. Now I'm totally freaked because I need to seek medical counsel if...
my eyelashes fall out
pus or thick discharge continues to drain from the eye
it lasts for longer than 3 weeks
the white part of my eye becomes red

Yikes. Please little sty, go down, get out, don't you know this is my spring break?
