I lead a very dull life. But I also shoo away "bugs" before I realize they're floaters.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-15613307478964529342010-04-05T12:03:34.840-05:002010-04-05T12:03:34.840-05:00Val, the fear of suddenly becoming unable to read ...Val, the fear of suddenly becoming unable to read is a big one for me, too. Since writing this post, I've also started having flashes of light in the same eye, so I've followed the directions of the Internet and placed a call to the eye doctor. I'm waiting for the nurse to call me back and hoping she'll tell me it's just an age-related thing and not the retinal tear the Internet warns about.<br /><br />Marion, I'm not used to it yet, but it does seem to be getting better each day. I think the only thing that keeps me from writing is a mile-wide lazy streak.<br /><br />Holly, you're young to have floaters. Did you have an eye injury at some time?<br /><br />As for the photo, I'm glad some of you share my twisted sense of humor.Linda@VShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04499621332375290781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-82108810947346826792010-04-04T11:28:26.410-05:002010-04-04T11:28:26.410-05:00Velvet, you have been missed!

I feel that I look crazy! <br /><br />But the photo.... has me rolling in laughter! <br /><br />Hope you are otherwise well and enjoying the new addition to the family!CreekHiker / HollysFollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14987597104795294851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-13912607668453085602010-04-04T08:31:21.120-05:002010-04-04T08:31:21.120-05:00Velvet, I'm so glad to see you back!

I don't know if I could get used to them, although I've been told there is little else I could do in your situation.<br /><br />I hope it doesn't keep you from writing more...Marionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00607220451457829777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612081.post-7418356376823755822010-04-03T15:30:42.041-05:002010-04-03T15:30:42.041-05:00I also have to see an Ophthalmologist for the same...I also have to see an Ophthalmologist for the same reason. The floaters got on my nerves in the beginning but I did get used to them and they eventually go away....for a while....then new ones appear. I have been told on good authority not to worry, so I'm not going to. My biggest fear is macular degeneration. With my love of reading, it would be so cruel to lose my sight....so I don't think about it. I just go every 6 months to get my eyes checked and put my faith in the ones who know all about this stuff. As it is, I'm very near sighted and always have been. (thank God for contacts)<br />LOL, looking at that "doctor's" picture, I wouldn't let him operate on me if HE paid ME. He looks a bit deranged to me. <br />Take care.Golden To Silver Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04585559845728927540noreply@blogger.com
