They can put buckles in your eye. Although what they did to Mom was out of date when they did it.

I'm not sure how it works, but it holds the retina together. And it's started to come part, she's had chronic eye pain for the last two years and finally found out a few weeks ago what was going on. Her ex eye doctor was a complete ass. She's been in serious pain with her eye almost swollen shut and he did almost nothing. Kept telling her to take Tylenol for the pain. Which, she found out, does nothing for the pain she has.

Also last year she kept feeling something in her eye, and he looked and said that it was a bit of plastic, some "Trash" that must have gotten in her eye and had to be removed before it scratched her cornea. Her current doctor said that the "Trash" was probably a piece of the buckle coming off.

Much eye~ma and surgery~ma to your ma, askye...

ginormous percocet

Thanks for the props on the conquering. So. Many. Hoops. Too. Many. Frelling. Hoops.

I am taking advantage of the working late in pain by going through and citing exactly why I am going to charge a ginormous price to Client from Hell. Basically it comes down to the fact that we quoted for two rounds of simple revisions and I have 15 so far. I still have to go through my email and also make sure that all of the pdfs are printed. Ginormous amounts of money. Heh. I share the pain with the deserving.

Ouch, askye! I hope the surgery goes well and solves her eye problems.

Askye, that sounds awful. I hope the surgery fixes things.

AS has told me that she gets worried whenever I say that there's something I need to tell her, that I'm about to drop a bombshell of some description. I keep assuring her that given she knows about my older brother, my marital situation and that I play Dungeons & Dragons, she's pretty much already reached the upper limits on potential bombshells.

I hope so too. Her vision is great, but she had a cataract removed about 19 yrs ago (she was 42 at the time) the dr who did that didn't tell her to watch out for signs of a torn retina, evidentally it's a complication of the catract surgery. So she just went on and on with this spot in her eye until she finally went to the dr. Who immediately had her check into the hospital to do surgery.

Where they did the out dated cheap version.

Dr. Who could have done it with his Sonic Screwdriver.

ha! "why would you make a screwdriver sonic?"

ha! "why would you make a screwdriver sonic?"

"Who looks at a screwdriver and says 'This could be more sonic.'?"

Andi and I have been watching the new Who and just hit the Captain Jack episodes. Such fun. Such HoYay.

Such fun. Such HoYay.

Ain't that the truth. Captain Jack is a great character.

Not to mention she's pretty sure she took a hit from lightning, her portable phones are dead and her computer won't act right and something else is going wrong.

However, she loves her job (she just transferred last year) and kicking ass at it and getting lots of praise for her work.
