Was it a chalazion on your eyelid? I had one of those that the doc HAD to invert the eye lid and cut out. Easier process than I imagined actually. Hopefully yours will drain on its own!
Sounds like you had quite the adventure! I wish I had your doctor - last year I made the unfortunate mistake of LOOKING at the flu shot and seeing how big the needle was. It totally freaked me out.

So now I never want to have another one and I'd REALLY need to be sweet-talked to get one.
But glad you did! And glad you had a "girls day out" too!
