Wedneday Roll Call
Hello everyone
HAPPY BIRTHDAY NANCY!!!
NO UNBIRTHDAY I am going to celebrate every year you are here with us...we'll just say it's your 29th!!!
I had a good day yesterday. My contacts went in well and I was able to see all day. I did need to put eye drops in because my eyes were starting to get dry...but I had eye drops especially for contacts. I was able to see all my work and I believe I was able to get my work done faster too. I just didn't realize how bad my eyes were. Amazing isn't it...how we adapt to bad sitiuation and not even realize it.
So far so good with the UTI. I know this isn't very positive of me but I half expect it to come back. It did after I took the Cipro. I shouldn't think like this!!!
I'm back to working out too. It feels so good afterwards...but during not so much. For me it's mid over matter. I just let my mind wander and try to take my mind off what I'm doing. Not to mention I sleep so good when I exercise. I fall asleep earlier and sleep more soundly.
Christine- I believe you said your contacts are bifocal contacts, mine are too. I don't know if you have this happens to you. Since the bottom is for close up reading. I noticed when I am standing and I look down (through the reading part) to the floor for a long period of time I feel a bit dizzy. I realized why it was happening and now avoid looking down for long periods of time. does that happen to you?
Sharon- I have to hand it to you...I can't work out in the morning. I just don't have the energy or the ambition in the morning.
Randy- this stuff you are studying...is it computer stuff. Because I am really not understandig what you are talking about.
Well back to getting ready...have a good day...see ya...bye

No actually I said that I have bifocal readers from the doctor. They are for paperwork and the computer. They have not perfected the bifocal contacts for a person with an astigmatism.
Now that my reading portion has gotten real bad (I use 250 readers and my bifocals have that magnification also) if I am walking down a set of stairs I get dizzy. I always try to remember to look through the distance portion of the glasses. Your brain should adjust to the bifocal part eventually.
I am going to have to check into if they have made progress getting monovision contacts for a person with an astigmatism.

Hey Christine,
I had a bad asitmatism in one of my eyes and wore contacts (the hard ones that let air in your eye) and also had bifocal contacts. I had lasix surgery about 5 or 6 years ago..but anyway...I had to leave my gas permeable (that's what they are called!!) out, but they let me try soft ones. With astigmatism, I could never wear soft because of the distortion. Anyway....they did the thing where I only wore one, and left the (I think ) stronger eye alone. I was amazed how super my vision was after a few days of my eyes adjusting to only one contact. The soft were wonderful...and, in fact, if I hadn't decided on the lasix, there was a good enough correction I could have stayed with them!
Georgie, as of August 2011 my eye doc said that with my eyes I needed to go the route of Acuview for Astimatism and to wear the prescription bifocal readers for the 'puter and paperwork. I need distance also and my eyes are not bad enough to get Lasix. I am in a Toric lense.
Yeah, it is sometimes frustrating to be reaching for the readers but I love the freedom of distance free vision. I wear soft lenses made by Acuview for Astigmatism. I am not sure when they came out with the soft Torics for Astigmatism.
I did put in an email to Acuview to see if they have come out with a monovision lense for both astigmatism and close up.

Glad you could wear the soft. I tried the toric when they first came out, but again the astigmatsm was too strong and could not be corrected well enough. I am sure now it would be a much better fix and more choices. However, I love, love, love my vision with lasix, and no more astigmatism because they corrected it with the surgery! I highly recommend it. I do wear readers for close stuff but a minor nusance for the wonderful distance vision i now have.
Yes - Crystal - Python is a computer language and I am having a lot of fun learning it. The people who wrote the language have a sense of fun about them as they named their language for Monty Python as they were fans of the Flying Circus. The new platform I installed yesterday is IDLE for Eric Idle.
Being disabled for so long and with my sleep problems I missed retraining that normally takes place in my field and a class out of my pocket would be at least $7500 so this is great. I cannot wait until I get fluent enough that I see a problem and just write an app to solve it.

So you have been forgiven?
Happy Birthday Beautiful Nancy!!!!!!!!!!! 
Hi Crystal and all,
Happy Wednesday.
I had a great day yesterday but it was so busy. I wound up staying for 2 water aerobics classes and swam in between classes. I felt great afterwards. Later I went to work out with my new trainer and she made me do floor Jack LaLane type calisthetics. That beat my butt. I'm so used to aerobics and weights that I forgot how hard it is to do pushups, leg lifts, and a bunch of other contortionist movements. Just getting on the floor was difficult. I have not sweat like that in a long time. Today I am a bit sore, but it's the good kind.
Tonight is an easy peasy Zumba class in the water.
I am in the process of getting rid of all my teflon cookware and replacing it with stainless steel. I am buying individual pieces since I rarely use some of the pieces in a set. I found a $70.00 3 quart sauce pan at K-mart yesterday on sale for $8.00. I was so happy. I am trying to buy everything on sale and so far have been very lucky.
Crystal you sound great, I have never worked out in the evening, until recently, and I find I love it as well. I sleep like a rock.
Have a great day OH'ers.
Sharon

Good Morning Everyone!
Well I am officially a year older. So I survived another year. Alive and kicking! Thanks for the birthday wishes.
Today I have an appointment with my doctor after work. I hope to get more answers. Tomorrow I go back to the pain clinic.
I used to wear contacts back in the old days when they were the hard contacts. I eventually had to give them up as they dried out my eyes too much. I have never tried the soft ones. I haven't figured out the bifocal ones. How do you figure out how to put them in so that the bifocal part is on the bottom?
I hope everyone has a great day!
