Yesterday I went for my annual eye checkup at the opthalmologist (eye surgeon). I developed a small cataract in my right eye many years ago. I had been fighting a recurring eye inflammation with a powerful steroid (prednisone) which was the only thing that kept it in check. It's funny when I quit my stressful job nearly 10 years ago, my inflammation went away. But I was left with this small cataract which is 'stable' according to the wonderful doctor, meaning no need for any surgery. It was cold, so I popped into the gym afterward for a quick workout. My eyes were still dilated!
L says there are an amazing amount of kids sick at her school from a variety of illnesses. So much so that they have cancelled a school dance planned for Friday. The principal thought it wasn't a good idea at this time. I've never heard of this happening before.
It's a lot brighter in the mornings when we wake up, since the switch to Daylight Savings Time. But it also gets darker more quickly in the evenings now.

Isn't it amazing that stress can cause so many physical ailments? I'm glad your eyes are better now. The doctor says I've got to watch my eyes also. She's recommending that I wear sunglasses with UV protection whenever I go out.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the cataract...luckily it is stable.
ReplyDeleteStress cause other illness on our body...have to keep stress level to a minimun, as low as possible!
Glad to hear your cataract is stable. I am amazed you were able to go workout with dilated eyes, Christine! You are so devoted and good. I am sure I would have used it as an excuse to go home and relax :-)
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about all of the sick kids. Hope it's just the usual stuff.
Well, am glad your eye is doing well, all things considered!
ReplyDeleteAnd am so glad you will come to tea. Mark it on your calendar.
I hope your eyes get better!
ReplyDeleteThe girl said the same about her school, there have been so many kids off sick that things are being cancelled. Crazy! Hope your two are well
Glad your eye exam went well. My husband just finished a round of steroid drops for an eye infection. It's amazing the things medicine can do for us these days.
ReplyDeleteFeel good.
