Voicelessness and Emotional Survival Message Board / Re: Friendship Moments: good or bad
« Last post by sKePTiKal on December 30, 2025, 08:18:06 AM »Nope. I can seriously feel the pressure in my sinuses just like initially, I could feel the new lenses or at least the incision in my eyes. Doc looked at me weird when I asked if it was normal to feel that. I guess maybe i'm hyper aware? I dunno. I'm not imagining it.
I am adjusting to the vision help from the new lenses - distance vision is improving still; getting sharper & clearer even in lower light. Middle distance is OK, but I have occasional flashes in my peripheral vision. It's like a flashlight beam from behind me or sometimes a black flare. And I notice a "shimmer" sometimes.
Close up, I do need readers. First pair I picked up were 1.5 magnification. Those were helpful and they cover my whole eye - which was sensitive to things like wind moving across the eyeball. Since then, Amazon had a good deal on 4 pr of the half glasses, I got them in 1.0 because I'd noticed the 1.5 would make my eyes hurt wearing them for any length of time. But enough about me!!!!
Are you feeling better? Sounds like y'all got smacked with the smorgasbord of viruses going around. Are you heading for the island this winter?
Hopsy, how are you doing? Are you getting outside any amount of time in this cold? It's brisk, for sure! But it's good to brave it for a little bit, several times a day. Gives the pups a chance to sniff all the sniffs outside of his own yard, too. I am liking my "cozy" inside time, with a cuppa tea and something to watch. We haven't been going out much since Thanksgiving. B does, he's cleaning up some down trees for the woodstove racks. Fully dressed & then insulated coveralls to stay warm.
B has been feeling much better, pretty much every day; physically. Mentally is consequently better too but he still has some black moods and hears something completely different than what I said. We're working on that. How are things going with your friends?
