Re: Just one thing after another

[Guest guest]

Hi Kimber,

I can sympathize with you re the bleeding. I too am on blood

thinner, andI remember one time when I was in hospital, and my lips

were very dry from the medications and dehydration and I picked a

bit of flaky skin off my lip...also has become a nervous habit I

don't know how I got into, but when stressed I tend to do it, but

this time it bled for about 7 hours, and after finally getting it to

stop, I thought all was well, until the next morning when my

daughter and husband came to visit. As soon as I laughed at

something she did, it split it open and kept on bleeding for the

best part of the morning.

sorry to hear about your eye. I hope it corrects itself before the

given time.

Dear Kimber

I know what you mean. Sometimes it seems it never stops. You

barely get thru one thing and bam, another thing hits. I am glad

that it will go away and I hope you can get something to help you

see better until this passes.

Bleeding on coumadin is another fun thing. I always carry

bandaides with me, just in case. Glad you got that under control

too.

Hang in there, this to shall pass : )

Love,

My goodness disorienting puts it mildly I'm sure. Did these visual

changes happen slowly or just over night? Did you expirence any

headaches or lightheadedness? Maybe you should see a nuerologist.

Please be careful getting about, I wouldn't want you to hurt

yourself, or your cats..lol. 4-6 months is a long time what kind of

prism are you talking about? Would the binocular specialist know

how this came about?

I'm sorry for all the questions and please dont feel the need to

answer them. Its probably difficult to see the keyboard much less

the screen. Fell better soon,
