Will keep everything crossed for you here too (panda)
OO why did she bring the rest of the family? That's a little odd isn't it?
What time's neurology? I will be thinking of you x
She’d said a little while ago that her dad would like to see me again (he’s not local) and would I mind. I said ok, just didn’t realise she was going to spring it on me. The kids are my godchildren so it was good to see them.
Neurology is at 4pm
Hope all goes well with the neurologist. (panda)
What've you got planned for today before your appointment?
Si and I have been to sort out the carpets this morning, and mooched around Sainsbury’s. Such excitement ;). Mum and dad will be popping over soon, hopefully
Sooooooo, have been to see the neurologist. All signs of IIH have gone. He says I'm at the top of his expectations, it's almost too good to be true and, though I'm to stay on the meds, he thinks my weight loss was the most crucial element in this (party) (guess what, I cried!)
That's marvelous news Paula (party)
Brilliant!!!!
Brilliant news hunni am so glad xx
Woohoo! That's seriously awesome! Well done lovely!
Off for an eye test this morning and a contact lens consultation. I used to wear them over a decade ago but they caused an ulcer on my eye. I’m now ready to see (no pun intended) if the scarring has reduced enough that I can give them another go.
Hope it goes well!
Hope the appointment goes well hunni
I can’t have varifocal contacts because of my prescription so have two options. We correct the distance and I get reading glasses or, and this is weird, my eyes have mono vision due to laser surgery years ago (one eyes prescription focuses on distance the other on reading) so we can forget about correcting the distance or reading and just correct the astigmatism, and let my eyes do what they do and adjust to the monovision again. I’m going to have a trial with the first option first
I’m shattered...
Sounds like a good plan hunni, please rest now
Sounds complicated Paula I can't have or it isn't recommended I have bifocals because of my posture the change over point would have to be set too high and it'd do my neck in. I also have double vision because my eyes look in different directions. I have distance, intermediate & reading glasses but when I read I usually take my glasses off and hold the book close to my nose Mr Magoo style, normally I just wear these milk bottle bottoms (giggle)
Trying your first option seems the best, mono vision seems odd you use one eye to read and one for distance.
It is odd, Mike, and when I first had the surgery it took about a week for my eyes to adjust but it is incredible how the brain figures it out so it processes the images from the correct eye
I've never heard of that before! That's awesome!
My eyes are too dry for contacts! Which is good as I would constantly be poking myself in the eye trying to put them in!!!
Woohoo! I’ve got my trial contacts! I had them in for 4 hours (you have to build up the hours) and had no problems :)
Hooray! :)
Woo hoo, that's great news (party)
Thats great news
Off to my local Community lunch with my bf today :) its a beautiful sunny day so hopefully it’ll be warm enough to sit on their verandah and enjoy the sunshine looking out over the park
Have a brilliant time lovely!
Hi Paula, how are things? Did you have a good 'ladies wot lunch' yesterday?? It's great to catch up on the goss with a best friend isn't it?
Morning Sparkles! Did Jess go back to college yet? What's on your agenda for today?
Sorry for the radio silence! Had a lovely, long lunch and catch up, rested for a bit then went out to the first Housegroup back after the summer - as a result there was a lot to catch up on and I didnt get home til 10.30. Im creamed but it was a rewarding day :).
Day 3 of the contact lens trial and all goes well lol. With the weight loss and starting to wear eyeshadow again, I’m beginning to feel like ‘me’ again after a very, very long time. Self care, right?
Yes self care! Hooray!!!
I'm so glad you're doing so well love!
I'm glad your contact lens trial is going well, I really struggled at first with them, I remember getting into a mad panic because it took me over an hour to get them out on the first day! So glad I stuck with them though, they're just second nature now.
I’ve had my hair done today. Why is it so much nicer when someone else shampoos your hair? My car’s been in for service - mechanically it’s good (apart from a missing washer bottle cap - how did that happen?) but the tires ....... both rear tires have nails in them and one front tire is bulging. God knows what happened but it’s not safe to drive so they’re having to get authorisation from Motability to replace them as the Motability tire contract is with Kwik Fit.
I watched the DIY SOS Grenville episode as well, and wept buckets. I honestly don’t know how that community has kept going, yet it has
Looks like you need a set of four tyres if three are knackered. Have you gone for highlights or streaks in your flowing locks, I've got the idea your hair is fairly short but maybe I've got that wrong. Whatever way you have it done bet it looks gorgeous and contrasts well with your diamond tiara. ;)
I used the dogs herbal shampoo! My hair feels great and smells of cherry and vanilla (giggle)
Thought that would give you a giggle (rofl)
Jaq - why??? :)
Paula - hair sounds lovely! Hope your car is all fixed!
I watched about 1/2 the DIY SOS and I sobbed buckets - I used to live near there and drove past the tower into central London and home 2ce daily for about 2 years....
Suzi it's from a herbal company and her products are mostly universal, it's just expensive. She has loads of customers who use their dogs shampoo as it's the same as the sensitive shampoo on the human side. I use a herbal wormer on Talia too :)
Rofl! That's awesome!
Morning Paula....like the sound of your hair...different.
