Borderline

That's the word they used on my field of vision test today. Perplexed I asked if that means that I have gotten worse. After a few minutes of flipping through my chart the Doctor said, "No". WHEW! A little history here. I have high ocular pressure which puts me at risk for glaucoma. Every year I get a field of vision test and they take a picture of my optic nerve. Fun fun...really it's not a big deal if it means I don't go blind. The good news is that nothing has changed since 2001 when I first went to this doctor. So I asked why they say "borderline" and the doctor said that it means that I just have that much more of a risk of developing glaucoma but so far nothing has moved that risk in six years.

In other eye news, I've ordered some new glasses with transition lenses. I'm also trying some new contacts because my other ones dry out easily. First day...they feel big on my eye. *shrug*

    Let me know how you like those transitions lenses. I love the concept, but I'm afraid they won't lighten up enough when I'm inside.

    Glad your eyes haven't worsened.

    On the OTHER hand, don't glaucoma patients get to, like, smoke a lotta ganja?

    Again: duuuuuuude!

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!
