Freebie - A Healthier Soda and Retinal Detachment

 



I got this freebie in the mail, it is a healthier soda. Here is more information on the company.  I like the soda.

Adding to this post with some breaking news:

In some bad news I was at the eye doctor yesterday and he discovered I have a retinal detachment, central vision in my right eye.  I was having symptoms of a change in my vision since the beginning of May then by Jun 3 it started to affect my vision which was scary.  I finally saw the doctor yesterday as I was waiting for my regular checkup.  I never suspected such bad news.  This is treated as an emergency so I will get a call from a clinic in the morning.  I will keep you updated as best I can.  The doctor said it is treatable but cannot give a percentage on its success at this point.

That's not good news for you, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it can still be saved. A comforting hug, Elke.

How nice about your freebie and then I read about your poor eye! I am very sorry to read this Christine. It must have been scary finding out. Wishing you only the very best.

I had a series of retinal tears years ago, so retinal detachment was a constant threat. It's scary! I so hope the operation goes well.

Hope that they can get you in and that it's a high healing rate.

I've heard before no ALDI in your neck of the woods. You know what's funny, quite of few of the products I get at my ALDI comes from Canada.

Wishing you a strong weekend and again, hope they get you healed up.

Good luck with the eye treatment. Not so sure the fancy foofoo soda will necessarily help. Linda in Kansas

Christine said...

Thanks Linda

Christine, that is very scary, indeed. Praying that they can make the necessary repairs and get your vision as close to normal as possible.
