Look at this monstrosity New Zealand pumped out during World War II. Built in case of Japanese invasion, the tank was made by slapping corrugated iron on a tractor and calling it a day. The Japanese tanks were hardly great, but a Ha-Go is infinitely better than this. Nonetheless, I love it for its shittiness.

Scared the shit out of my gf today.
I came back from my ophthalmologist appointment because the stye inside my eyelid turned into a benign tumor, and immediately told her "Hey! My stye is gone... because it turned into a tumor. I probably have to go to the hospital for that."
I only had 3 hours of sleep and hadn't taken my ADHD meds yet, so I totally forgot to say that it's benign. While I was getting the referral out to look up the exact name of this tumor, she completely freaked out for a moment before I could fix my mistake.
Whoops
I hope you're doing ok and the removal goes as smoothly as possible! Glad to hear it's benign.
Oh my god I've done this kind of thing to my partner so many times, and it never gets less terrifying for them. It's gotten to the point that I'll start with "hey everything is ok but..." and that's enough to get them immediately scared until I can say enough to spell out the situation
I'm okay. Got an appointment at the hospital in a month and in the meantime got prescribed steroid eye drops that will hopefully solve the issue before I get the hands-on method. Just a bit frustrated that I had to deal with conjuctivitis, a stye and now a tumor for over 2 months just because I wasn't careful enough when I removed an eyelash from my eyelid.
Well I'm glad it's not worse, but that does sound like a huge pain (literally and figuratively) to be dealing with for that long, geez. It's wild how absolutely minor an occurrence can be that wrecks your shit for that long. Someone really needs to improve the human body, it's due for a major update/rehaul
It's pretty annoying because it constantly presses on my eye, yes. But I collect chronic conditions like Pokemon, so I'm pretty good at tolerating pain and uncomfy stuff. 2 months is nothing
Well I'm sorry you're forced to be so well practiced at tolerating it, but I guess it's good that it isn't your first rodeo.
I feel bad for the chuckle this elicited, it's a shitty situation but the unexpected phrasing got me good. I do hope you have the least miserable wait possible regardless
The timing is absolutely impeccable. You told me that within seconds of me waking up. Could not have caught me more off guard. Any sooner and you'd have been able to clarify. Any later and I'd have been awake enough to ask for clarification.
