Ain't it though?

I went to a dermatologist for the first time in my life this morning, in need of some cure-me ointments to rub all over my allergy eyes, and the doctor gave me an explicit, detailed description of what it's like to get cataract surgery, complete with Light Show analogy. He described a laser rotating primal shades like a color wheel, red, yellow

ew, i don't want to give you too much information...but I'm a survivor of a number of symptoms that I've more or less figured out even if I can't totally avoid them (i.e. dermatitis on my right wrist=soy based rock show stamp ink, itchy teeth=chocolate contaminated with nuts, excema on legs=lanolin in shaving cream etc.). I hope you get the allergy eye drops at least. That an a general antihistimine is probably the best course of action for what you described.

Oh Court, you're a mess too!? At least you've figured out what you're allergic too, and the cures. I've just resolved to be really uncomfortable the rest of my life.

on the rise: detailed descriptions of cataract surgery!

yesterday, while wine tasting, we ended up having to listen to a rather lengthy description of the entire procedure from beginning - involving thin needles inserted into the eyeball and topical numbing cream.. to end - including all the details about sleeping in certain positions on certain nights in order to maintain the healing process, and something about a big bubble in the back of ones eye that can be seen 'sloshing around in there'... all this as we are sipping wines and commenting on their flavours; there is something to be said for being able to spit as opposed to swallowing.
