little stuff is gooooooood
gotta say thank you for the little stuff...........details can make such a big difference.
the eye drops..........are awesome. it is only day two, but baby baby baby, my vision is so much improved. i had no idea how much the dryness affected what I could actually see. i am slow to process.......it may sound obvious to everyone else. but it didn't occur to me just how much the dry gritty feeling was connected to the vision wonkies. i put extra drops in my eyes this morning and oh myyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. my eyes feel so refreshed. so goooooooooooooooooooooooooooood. yup, think James Brown Good. I've been so miserable and didn't know it could be this simple. The eyes are in need of moisture and without the bodies natural ability to produce enough moisture I was in a lot of visual trouble.
Sjogren's Syndrome creates drought like desert symptoms in the body.
this is exciting, this is happy, this is lovely. thank you Lord for nudging me into the eye doctor. i am willing but slow to understand........because you nudged me I went. Because I went - the doc helped........and now this morning my eyes feel so much better. Usually I feel like I'm seeing through a sand storm, this is aweeessssssssome.
With so many things I cannot change, this is amazing. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
The next bit of gratitude? The little speakers I got are now hooked up and I have VOLUME. I just listened to Carole King singing "You make me feel like a natural woman." And oh yeah, I turned it up, all the way up..............................this was another sick/tired thing going on, ya see it didn't occur to me that I needed speakers, I actually was living in fear that it was maybe the beginning of hearing loss. I get that confused - sometimes feel such distress .......and then feel afraid to say anything about something, cause for whatever reasons I think I am supposed to know it all...........and I just don't.
I was intimidated hooking them up, cause I am not techie geek girl at all..............but I did my best. I knew I had electricity, but no added volume. I called and Nick in tech support helped me, I had plugged the doohickie in the wrong whatchamacallit. It turned out to be so simple. I can hear the MUSIC and it is righteous..........feel like listening to everything right now.............that song CARWASH just popped into my head................how old does that make me???? my stomping grounds were in the 70's........don't pick on me! I'm gonna listen to Carwash, workin' at the Carwash yeah!" while I do the dishes. I feel renewed and uplifted by these two small things. Thank you God for teaching me about solutions, for renewing my joy, for empowering me to be a happier sparrow.....................the world is a serious place and we have real challenges. I know we do.............sometimes life's simple pleasures are the best.
I am going to go to Home Depot in a bit and get the stuff Bruce needs. I'm moving slow, but I"M MOVING!!!!! hallelujah............praying for you, for your daily needs and cares. don't laugh, but having the pain diminished in my eyes is so incredible...........sometimes you live with something for so long that it doesn't even seem possible that there can be any bits of better............the way my eyes feel is so much better........................man oh man it is better. xoxoxoxoxooxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoox

Sparrow, from my nearly 10 years with the Vision Van, if I learned one thing, it is that seeing how makes up about 15 to 20% of the total eye health.
\"By seeing\" I mean the ability of the eye to focus on an object or what is know as refraction which can lead to us being nearsighted - farsighted or have blurry vision at all distances. Health issues with the eye can lead to reduced vision as well as many other issues.
So glad that you have found a way to not only alleviate some pain but have also improved your vision all at the same time.
Most of us seem to prefer the dentist more than the eye doctor & will see the dentist on a regular basis but go years without seeing the eye doctor. I had a saying I would use on occasion when I was trying to convince someone that they needed to see an eye doctor.
I would tell them that if they were to go blind, there was not much way they could see things but if they lost all of their teeth, at least they could gum their mashed taters.
Probably not something you would read in a medical book but seemed to get the point across.
Also glad you have those speakers working. Now you can not only listen to Carwash, but Working in a Coal Mine - 16 Tons - Monster Mash - One Eyed One Horn Flying Purple Eater & one of my all time favorites - The Bridge Is Washed Out, I Can\'t Swim & My Baby\'s on the Other Side.
I am SOOOOOO glad that u have found relief for ur eyes and a new set of speakers to enjoy.. !~!~! That\'s fabulous... and Yes... we do get stuck in situations for so long that we neglect to take a \"look\" at what might be going on and SEE what we might can change about ourselves to improve the situation. I did have a good visit today w/ the rheumy. It went just as I expected... He is a great rheumy. Have a fun day listening to your 70s tunes... that\'s my old stomping grounds as well.. xoxoxo Much luv
PTL for the eyedrops! I\'m SO glad you got such quick relief from them! This gives you hope! We all need hope! So one problem down.....less anxiety and feel helpless. There ARE answers!! I\'m so happy for you.
I\'m no techy either, but we both seem to be seventies queens, and listen to the same music......so we\'ll just keep bit of information between us! OK? OK! Kewl!!
Have a great Thursday!! oxx
Thank God for your eyedrops!!! I am glad they worked! Now I am thinking I should probably look into that because I have a similar problem. Love how we all help each other thru our posts!!!!!
