@LindaSal   Just a tip from someone who has had more eye issues (conjuctivitis, foreign objects) than anyone else I know.

 

Change your pillowcases daily.  Conjunctivitis can spread from one eye to the other Woman Happy

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

Good Morning, I'm sorry that I missed the chat in its entirety.  I fell off of a ladder (only 3 rungs up) on Memorial Day and landed on a concrete surface standing straight up (kind of a blessing).  I broke my right foot.  So far looks like the calcaneus (heel) bone only according to urgent care. Won't know the extent of damage until I see foot doctor on June 17th when he will probably ask for a ct scan to determine the damage. 

 

Can't put any weight on the right foot and it's been interesting.  Still living my life (inside the house at least) like I always did except that it takes me 4x longer to get from point a to point b.

 

Could have been worse.


I can't believe you have to wait until June 17th for a CT scan.  That isn't acceptable.  It seems the healthcare in Michigan is suffering.  My sister had to wait 2 months to have someone look at a spot on her leg.  She is taking treatments now for melanoma.  SMH

 

I hope you can get a resolution and relief sooner rather than later.

 

All the best~

YAY🎉 STEELERS!
And something amusing (to me)

My best teaching friend back in Texas is from this very area and she and her family transformed their back porch area into a STEELERS NATION!
We traded places!

@Bird mama It's actually in both eyes, just one is worse than the other.  Thank you for the tip though, I truly appreciate that!   

 

ETA: I just read that you were injured, oh my, wishing you a speedy recovery!

@tends2dogs   I probably could have gotten the full monty (lol) if I had gone to ER.  I went to urgent care and had 3 x-rays.  3 weeks isn't really that bad to get in with a doctor here.  I just rescheduled my June appointments with an endocrinologist who has been treating me for a decade and her earliest appointment was September.
