Guest guest Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Marti, can you go into your control panel on your computor and change the resolution? I have done that. I know that there are some sites that say I have to change my resolution, but I don't. The settings on this computor were way too small.

I know it's hard enough to sit at these computers and type and read and think with Fibro and everything else messing up our lives, so I want you to know how very much you are appreciated. I have one of those screens that I lay over my books now. I haven't been able to find anything for a computer screen except the ones that cut down glare, which I'm thinking about getting. Or rather thinking about asking my daughter to get for me, since I'm broke. I know, join the club. Thank you for trying to figure out solutions for me. I need all the help I can get anyway, but particularly when the fibro fog rolls in. Thank you again for keeping me in your prayers and letting me know it's alright to stay in the group even when I'm not participating much. I'm not sure about the hospitalization. I'm going in tomorrow, after I drive myself 30 min one way(scary) to my eye doctor's appt, to discuss with the oncologist, who's right across the street in the hospital, how it is to be done. He had said before that it depends on what they decide to give me and on whether I will be home alone during the treatment. If it is to be three days a week, then I may have to stay over because I do live alone. The other recourse is for Andi or Joe to take me the three days and for me to stay at their house. She is night weaning her youngest and they are getting no sleep so it's not a relaxing place to recuperate or be sick right now. They have three small bedrooms, one is theirs, one is for the other two boys and one is the nursery. Before when I've stayed over they have put the baby in a pack and play in their room, but with the weaning he needs to not see mommy during the night so that wouldn't be an option. I'll have to talk this all out with the doctor tomorrow. The other thing is paying my deductible to stay over in the hospital. Andi and Joe would have to do that for me, but it may be the best option for all of us. At least they have the money and it wouldn't be putting them out. It's $2500. and then the rest is picked up by insurance I can't really afford, but that is a discussion for another day. Thanks again, Luv ya, Marti Jeanne and Dave wrote: Marti - You are very much in my prayers. No one has to leave this group for not participating.

I know I've seen magnifying screens that are available to buy. I'm talking about a screen you can place over a book or magazine print to enlarge it. Just a thought. Take care. Jeanne in WI P.S.

Guest guest Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Thank you Judy, I have the resolution set as high as it will go. Which means I can magnify things to be quite large but I still lose a lot of the message to the right. If the resolution was smaller the magnification wouldn't be as high. Anyway thanks for trying. I appreciate all the help I can get. Marti Judy Thurow wrote: Marti, can you go into your control panel on your computor and change the resolution? I have done that.
