Where do I start? I just returned from going to "brown bag" where the Utah
Food Bank gives out food twice a day.....Today was 5# of potatoes,
an english cucumber, 3 Big grapefruit, and 2 tubs of cottage cheese. It
helps you make ends meet the way groceries are getting higher priced so fast!
I hate to say what happened to my eyes. It sure makes me feel dumb!
I take 3 drops a day of plain artifical tears, and then at nite another
kind of drops for my glacoma pressure. It happened at 8 in the am
and I was drousy and reached up on my beds headboard and instead
of the artificial tears got the "swimmers ear" (95% alcohol and some other
chemicals in it) and in my eye it went. Wow I didn't think I could jump
out of bed that fast! I couldn't see and thank goodness my best friend
called, so she came upstairs to help me. I didn't want to go to the hospital
as you have to wait soooooo many hours there. My friend got the magnifying glass and knew what was in it and called the poisen control.
He said to wash my eye out for 15 minutes with COLD water. He called
me back in 1 hour to check on me) He said I'd be in quite a bit of pain
for a couple of days. Oh brother try going around blind for awhile!
That nite it had pus in it and had a film over it but ol stubborn me
STILL wouldn't go to the hospital cause in a few days I wanted to
go to my granddaughters combined birthday party, so thought I'd
wait until morning and MAYBE go to a Dr. It didn't happen again, so YI
muddled thru it. Finally graduated to dark glasses, finally my regular
glasses and the glare of the computer. I was lucky and hope I didn't
do damage for the future.
In a few days was the combined 3 and 4 year old party for the girls
that we have every year at Chucky Cheese's pizza. I have to get the
camera developed, heck couldn't see the number of pictures I took,
some might be over another!
Yesterday I want down and got my blood pressure taken and
a prick for sugar diabetes. My blood pressure is high and I think
I know why....teaching e-mail to a friend in the computer room
she has Juno and I try and try to figure out how to put things in
little files like my g-mail does. I'm also trying to figure out
how to print on-line grocery coupons. Last nite my home
teacher got it all plugged in, ha now to get a new cartridge and
try to learn all over again after not using it for over a year.
B oy that saying "if you don't use it, you lose it" sure is right!
Weather here in UT. is one day (like today, in the 30' ) 
Friday
in the 60's...last week 4" of snow. We'll be nice 2 more days then
another storm is coming.

Sandi, You are the first and only person I've ever known of who'd knowingly risk spending the rest of their life blind or mostly blind if you only damaged one eye! At the same time I was living in fear of damage that going to the hosp or a doctor couldn't reduce! How I'd have loved to only risk missing one birthday party! I know I'm phobic but how....?
