YOU DO NEED A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE.
Help me with something... Vision gets "wonky" when the pressure in LOW.. what if it gets High?? I am trying to understand this Eyesight handicap.
The pressure is sort of a good/bad thing. Too high (too much fluid not draining) and it puts pressure on the optic nerve in the back of your eye and that reduces vision, permanantly. Too low (not enough to hold the eye in a "roundish" shape) and you get blurry because the shape is wrong for reflecting that image into your eye. This is remedied by having the pressure go back up though so that's not as bad as HIGH. Thanks for caring!
mel--

not more eye trouble!! i'm thinking of you.
Thanks honey!
Mel- 
Hang in there!
I'm off to "homeschool" Leo now in fact, so have a good Friday all.
Thanks honey! Hope you had a fun "day off" at home with Leo!
Good Morning. SOunds like Mel, Katt and Dawn need
At work, so not much time. Just wanted to let eveyone know I just got a text from CE. They apparently got hit pretty hard with the storm last night. They are all okay, but there is no power, no cable and therefore no internet. She did not want us all worrying about her so I I told her I would post here so no one was concerned when we didn't here from her!
Thanks for the hugs!
And Thanks for letting us know about CE. My mom (whos in Mass) said they were fine but my sister had a HUGE tree come down on her house from the ice!
Oh Mel that sounds yucky, hope it worked this time.
Oh I haven't told you about David. He was getting really bad pains at the base of his spine, he went to the Dr on Monday and they reckon he has an ingrown hair which has formed an abcess on his spine

he's on antibiotics which thankfully are working otherwise it could be an op which would put him off work awhile and no work means no money
Thanks Jo! Poor David! Tell him to rest his butt!
Mel~~~girlfriend...damn. When will this end?
Wish I knew.
The teacher who I subbed for last night...turns out his wife had a brain stem stroke. She is not doing well. They have been married for 40 years. Please keep them in your thoughts.
Sending good thoughts and hugs!
she always says the most beautiful things!
Still in heavy work mode. Now, I'm frantically busy with a cold.
Mel- Hope the eye gets fixed, and for good, this time!
Oh No! Feel better Mr. T!
Thanks so much!
Oh Mel - this made me so sad!

I don't know first hand how it feels, but my brother (who is deaf) has RP, which means he currently has tunnel vision and that tunnel gets smaller and smaller, and will eventually close, leaving him completely blind. When he was a kid, he wished for new eyes and new ears.
I hope you get your Christmas Miracle!
Oh T! That was so sweet. I know I should be thankful to have what sight I have (which isn't really too bad with my glasses on!) but it's really hard to focus on the POSITIVE when it's going like this...
Your story about your brother helped me. I'll wish for a miracle for us both, ok?
Well, T, it's not cold and drizzly here, it's SNOWING again! Acutally, it's sunny and snowing! And cold. And don't worry, I don't have my tree up yet either! Too many things to do and not enough time! ARGHHHHH!!!!!!!!
Snowy here too! I always say that you have to be glad it isn't ICE though! Poor CE!
Like Janet doesn't know what ISS is.
Bwahahahaha!
BTW we call ISS Detention and I've never had it

No honest I never got detention I was a good girl
Yeah, me either. Uh, huh. really....
No, really.
Ok, just that ONE time for smoking in the girls loo.
******************************
Ok, totally productive day here! Got the house clean, had SD carry up the boxes with the Xmas decorations, bought a TON of groceries, made a bunch of phone calls, found two more Xmas gifts, picked up both kids AND talked with a friend whom I haven't seen in a LONG time. Sold the Wii to a friend and all stuff with it for $350! yay! Oh, and caught up here (No small feat, 4 pages!!!)
I'm going to go do some laundry now and get a jump on it so I don't have to spend all weekend doing it! Yay me!
Love and Hugs to everyone who needs them!
Got Michelle and Kat's cards today! Gorgeous Rockerfeller Center Tree!!!!
