I have Ocular Hypertension, which basically means I am at high risk for Glaucoma. Today I had to go in for a few tests to see if I was showing signs of glaucoma or not. Thankfully my eyes haven't changed since the last time they did these studies so for now I continue taking my eye drops to help lower my eye pressure and go from there. I hate taking those test. Then they have you sit to talk to the doctor about them. I'm thinking in my head that I'm doing to have to get a seeing eye dog and all kinds of stuff. I'm not much of an optimist. Kinda hard to be up when things don't seem to be going your way. I did luck out of this...for now. I have to go every 6 months to see if my eye pressure gets better or worse. It was really really up about 2 months ago but to be honest I wasn't doing my drops every night. Hmm...go blind..put in drops at night. You'd think I'd be smarter about this.

    You better keep on top of that stuff. I would rather go deaf than blind.

BSG Comes to an end?!

I am a HUGE fan of the new Battlestar Galatica (BSG). Sad to hear that they are coming to an end next year. Does it mean they get to Earth? Are the Cylons defeated? Or do they find a peaceful way to co-exist with the Cylons? OR...are they going to leave it in cliff hangers for future movies? Thank goodness for DVD's so that I can always get my BSG fix!

Independence Day!

On July 4, 1776, the Second Continental Congress unanimously adopted the Declaration of Independence. When reading the text it's difficult not to see how history repeats itself. We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed, by their CREATOR, with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate, that Governments long established, should not be changed for light and transient Causes; and accordingly all Experience hath s...

Hi-Tech Bed

So our Select Comfort Bed arrived today. So far so good. Although I think we are losing air (it's not staying at 100 after I fill). Not sure though. Tonight will be the real test. I think my sleep number is 35. When trying it out both in the store and at home that is where I'm not feeling any pressure on my hips or shoulders. Jerry thinks his number is around there too. I'm really hoping this will help with Jerry's back, shoulder, neck pains. He is so much better but he occasionally gets flare ups. No fun Oh yea...and the controller is Wireless. We can be gadget whores in our sleep too!
