You're in my thoughts, DixieGal.

(So is PilotBob, but for the amazing inhalatory capabilities of his computers. Mr Dyson should take notes.)

[desertgrandma]

c'mere. Just want to give you a big hug, Dixiegal................

Thanks everyone! I miss all of the daily chatting, but can't look at monitor at 200% zoom for very long before eyestrain kicks in on the seeing eye.

Love you all!

Thanks... luckily I resolved the issue after 1.5 days of working on it. Of course in the end it was a stupid simple thing.

Not always, no. I have had some issues that once I figured out was happening could be days or weeks to resolve, recode, retest, whatever, etc.

VISION UPDATE
I didn't get my eye fixed yesterday. It's too messed up for the laser. Next Tues, they will admit me for anesthesia and a victrectomy. On my good eye.

Meanwhile, I'm having the scarring complication AGAIN on the bad eye, which will need another victrectomy in a few months. Gonna live with the pain and blurriness as long as possible before letting them go back in and scrape loose the scar tissue from the original surgery.

Not only could I not see the big E on the eye chart projection, but I also couldn't see the projection at all with this eye.

You know you are in my prayers, Dixie!

I feel bad ranting about my day when people have problems that are so much worse, but here goes. I spent the morning at the periodontist to get a titanium screw implanted in my jaw where they had to extract a tooth 2 months ago. The extraction went so badly that what should have been a simple and quick procedure took 2 hours. Because my peridontist missed a little of the old tooth, I had to spend another 2 hours in the chair today having her picking and tugging and drilling to get that little bit out. Consequently, She wasn't able to do the implant and I have to go back in another 2 months to get it done. I don't mind that so much except that the procedure is VERY expensive and now they are going to charge me extra (and I mean EXTRA) because she missed that little bit of tooth. (The actual cost is the same as Zack's tuition at GMU for one semester. ) Unfortunately, though I have two kinds of dental insurance, this procedure isn't covered because they consider it "Cosmetic Dentristy". It isn't. I kind of need that tooth to chew things. On top of all that, it is very painful, my jaw is swollen, and I can only eat mush for the next few days. I don't like mush.

There is a silver-lining, though. My children, thank God, received their dental genetics from my husband who has strong healthy teeth.

[desertgrandma]

kazbats yours sounds plenty worthy of ranting to me!

Owie owie owie. I hope your swelling goes down soon and you can chew the good stuff properly.

Suppose this isn't a good place to say I'm having steak for dinner.......

My recommendation for food. Make some stew, (your choice of receipe) and throw it into a blender and vroom until it's paste. it'll taste just like the stew and you can eat it! Should be able to do the same for soups....

Oh Dixie, my thoughts are with you!!! Hugs!


And Kaz...geez, my jaw hurts just by reading your post. Need another silver lining? Ice cream and milk shakes are mush!

[Verencat]

Oooh, 6000th post is mine!!!!!!!!
