3. I had a friend whose parents both got lung cancer at the same time.

Her father said to her mother, "my cancer is worse than yours. "

She asked, "How can you say that? Mine is more advanced."

He replied, "because it's my cancer."

Just kidding.

I've long suffered from ocular migraines, which freaked me out when they first started. I thought I was having a stroke. The treatment is to take aspirin and coffee.

Yours is worse than mine. This is clearly an infection and unless it involves a resistant strain, will be treatable with
ophthalmic antibiotic drops. I doubt anyone will be sticking a needle in it.

I have a truly great ophthalmologist. She's a wonder. I'm a lucky guy Lucky.
