How can you mend a broken heart?

[makingmagic]

I started reading it too. So far so good.

Also.my h had the retina laser surgery. Not a big deal he said. But don't know if it fixed his problem.

RosaLinda, sorry to hear about your vision. I hope everything turns out fine. I think when our spouses doe these things, like yours taking you to the hospital, it is because deep down they still do care. It is why you are standing.

Anyway, take care of yourself.

Glad you're home Linda......hoping its all good for you!

Take care of yourself

RL,
Do you get migraines? Your double vision could possibly be stress related, i.e., blood pressure, or as the doctor said a detached retina. It's good that you are seeing a doctor today about it. You do not want this to go on for very long because you have your trip coming up. May I suggest that you try not to read a lot until your visit today. Eye strain doesn't help that eye when it's doing it's double vision problem.

RL,

So sorry to hear about your eye trouble, but hope it can be fixed soon.

I read Laura Munson's book twice last summer after Labug suggested it. I found it encouraging with the depth of emotion she was able to portray about their sitch.

I emailed the author to tell her how much I liked the book and she emailed back. Down-to-earth lady and very warm and inviting and encouraging.

I'm going to take your advice Snodderly, and stop reading, it makes me feel sick to my stomach. I thought I'd try to catch up on everyone's weekend doings, but found that even using the computer is making me nauseous today. I've never had migraines before, maybe this is my first, my eyeball itself actually hurts. THanks for checking on me.

oh man -

Linda- i hope your eye is merely stress. my favorite thing to blame every single thing in the universe on- but it's not such a small thing.

i swear (and it's true too) that every time my stress factor is extreme- i endup thinking i'm going blind somewhat and rush out and get new glasses - which are never the answer- after about four years running of doing it in fall as all the craft shows approached and i felt i never was readyo r had enough enventory to generate the income i'd need for a whoooole year- ka ba m. no kidding. i finfally realized what was going on- it was the same deal each time-

so i think it's very good to go get it checked out right away- i also think i'm hoping it'll be nothing major....


and your h in the car- oh man- do you ever sound like me. every single time he's even nice at all (in bed last nite- he kinda snuggled over after turning out the lights- not a big ole body hug - but crummed on over- ended up holding my hannd as fell assleep - wtf was that? hasn't in a few years. so me, i did it, but decided he'd probablyjust had a really satisfying exchange with ow out there on the couch before coming to bed- so was happy for a change - and willing to have mercy for teh serfs (me).

is it nasty or reality? i'd say the latter. i don't want to get my hopes up about anything in the world. it's our natural self defense mechanism.

anyway tho- it was something and felt nice for a change. am i signing up for the wedding registry- i d ont't hnk so.

oh well huh ?// my kindred spirit out tehre- you say stuff i would too.

AND I AGREE - it is someting that he took you, offered, showed cond=cern and then , well - try & forget about the car. (well, try).

he's there and i know what you're saying - it a a good feeling to have someone waiting for us so mewhere - so yay. - it feels good to not bealllll alone in life. i dont' like ti one darn bit - at all - ever.

im sneeking in a write here- hjave th kids- jake is watching barny - what a jerky show- oh well- i'll trake it he's allover the place and i'm tired already adn it's just 1 pm - oiyyyyyy

Do you or your family have any history of thyroid problems? Thyroid eye disease (caused by an autoimmune reaction against the tissues behind the eye) occurs most often in Graves disease (hyperthyroidism) but can also happen in Hashimoto's (hypothyroidism) patients. There is a sensation of pressure behind the eye, eventually proptosis (bulging of the eye, and you can have vertical diploplia because of the effect on the muscles around the eye.

Makes sure they check you for thyroid receptor antibodies.

BTW - does it go away if you cover one eye or the other? Or is it present in one eye even with the other eye closed? If that's the case, then the problem is inside the eye. If it only happens when both eyes are open, then it's outside the eye.

[RosaLinda]

Hi Ellie, thanks. The ER checked my thyroid yesterday and it was okay. The double vision is only in my left eye, it goes away when I cover it and look out my right eye. So what you are saying is that if you were my doctor I would have avoided the brain CT scan and MRI because you could tell it is a problem inside my eye? Cheeze.

NERO we do sound like each other. I think falling asleep holding your H's hand and snuggling sounds so nice. If he had just had a really satisfying exchange with FFC (the Fat Fvcking Cow), he would NOT have even been in bed with you, let alone holding your hand. We both need to stop putting a negative connotation on everything! I will stop fretting about my H waiting for me in the car and convincing my self he was out there talking to RT if you will consider that your H might just have been feeling fond of you! Okay?
