I got my glasses back and they are not right. In fact, they are decidedly LEFT. Politically speaking, I am all for leaning to the left, but in my daily walk, not so much. Combined with the sickness from the drops, I am not feeling well at all. I have a return appointment with the eye doctor on the 27th, at which time I am going to politely and firmly request that the drops cease and desist, and that the glasses make a return trip to the land of the waltz. Perhaps I should hand carry them. Teehee. He'll check out the back of my eye and see whether there has been any progress, but my feeling is that we are adressing the symptoms and not the root cause of the problem. I need to interupt the cycle of scar tissue production, not simply attempt to mitigate the resulting inflammation. In the meantime, I can't read and my balance is weebly wobbly at best. I'm feeling Very Disconnected.
I hereby promise not to ever take good vestibular balance or my ability to read for granted ever again.
sigh.
I'm at my local public library computer, with the huge screen magnifier set up so I can write this.....
I miss the daily circle of blogs and hope that all is well with all of you....
Blessings, this day as always!
I will publicly volunteer to come with you and hold your hand THE WHOLE WAY on your trip to handcarry your glasses back! Tee hee!
Seriously, I hope you get some relief and good results soon!

Maybe if we ALL go you'll get good results! How about it everyone?!
Take care and know that we think of you daily.

I've been worrying about you and wondering how you've been doing -- I'm glad to see your marvelous spirit is intact despite what you're dealing with. I know very few people who would treat your situation as a reminder to appreciate their balance and vision, but that's a very positive way to see it (no pun intended!).

I hope you get your glasses soon, Greta. How horrible to have to wait longer for them. Hang in there and may everything turn out alright.

You sound so blue. Let me take a little bit of that for you, there. C'mon, girlfriend. We'll get through this.
Thinking of you and sending you waves of warm hugs.

Sorry to hear this Greta and hoping the swimmy headedness ends for you soon.. I too have been concerned (and saddened) by your absence and volunteer to join the gang and march with you and ensure you get RESULTS! Hug the Princess for me, Amy :)
