Thanks JC. Yes, my eye cleared up OK. I have episcleritis, which is an inflammatory disease that affects the outer lining of the eye (episclera). It comes and goes but this last time was a b**ch, it hurt a lot. The doc gave me prednisone (sp?) eye drops but it would have cleared up on its own anyway. OMG, I have to tell you about the doctor>>> -- Spirit World

In reply to: Happy Reading all, JC* 's message, "Brenda, glad to hear skiing went well. Did your eye clear up fine?? I have a copy of Laurell K Hamilton's "A Kiss of Shadows" Do you want it or anybody else? I'd be happy to send it some place where it will have a good home!! Just can't get into it I guess. I have been getting into Sherilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunter series!! Deep, dark and delish, yum!! Book goddesses are reading a Perfect Day by Richard Paul Evans and I found an Anya Seton at the library to try too. I'll let you know how I like it." on 15:34:03 01/10/04 Sat

There was only one opthamologist open here over the holidays so I went to see him as an emergency case. I swear he must have been pushing 90! He shuffled into the examining room with his two "assistants" in tow (I think they follow him around to catch him if he keels over!). His pants were tucked into his socks and he was wearing a doctor's mask. The mask was a good thing because, even with the mask, his breath smelled like something crawled in there and died a loooooong time ago. I am supposed to go back to see him on the 15th, but seeing as my eye is fine now, I am thinking of cancelling. Yikes!
