Oh my...don't be too sure about the eyes....while painting the kitchen, many

moons ago...I dropped a rather large lightbulb..and it exploded....I didn't

cut myself...and didn't think much of it. Two days later...I had pain in my

eye that wouldn't quit. It was on Thanksgiving day...of course....no docs

in....but my hubby happened to be doing a personal job (electrical) for an

opthamologist, and he gave him a ring. I WAS in a lot of pain. He made

arrangements to meet us down at his office...and he put some dye in my

eye...and said.. " WOW...you have this huge crater in the cornea " ....Said had I

gone another day...I'da lost my eye. Infection had spread that quickly.

Seems the only thing that could have happened was a piece of glass flew up

and nicked my eye without me even feeling it. Amazing huh? Fortunately it

worked out well...he gave me some antibiotic drops and saved the day...and my

eye. So if you should have ANY eye symptoms AT ALL Regina...get thyself to

a doc ASAP!! These things can be very dangerous.

Wear the plastic bubble on the plane. With your luck, the seat will fold in

half and squish you. Sigh.

Get out here fast. Only about 24 hours left to keep you safe.
