good news for you Linda and for you Dea.


Cynthia
several ways to check intra ocular pressures.

Goldman is mounted on a table and drops and dye put in eye and a probe makes contact with the eye.

Perkins is hand held but also comes close to the eye.

These are the gold standard methods.

I care tonometer is very good for people who find it difficult to stay still such as people with parkinsons or learning disabilities as it does not come so close to the eye.

All of these used in combination with a pachymeter that measures the thickness of the cornea is even better. If a cornea is thinner than average then pressures can under read and glaucoma could be missed.

The airpuff is the least accurate as it makes people jump which affects the accuracy of the reading,

Hi all

teef all cleaned and polished, and no work needed. Back in 6 months.


Other check-up fine :-D


BUT ........... he did spot that I hadn't any blood work done "for him" last autumn. So he gave me a requisition to go and have several vials of blood removed :-( . One is the fasting for 10 hours one ............. which means I actually have to get up early and get out to the clinic for about 8:30 - 9:00 am sometime early next week :-0


I'll try to find a morning when OH can at least take me by car :-D

I will start with the Ulster fry-up I think with home-fried potatoes with garlic and bacon I think, then I will see what I fancy for 'seconds' :-D

Thank you Sylvia.

Hope you all have a lovely day today - I am off to get little grandson in a while, I really missed not having him last Friday.

See you all later,

Dea Xxx

Thank you Sylvs - it was worth waiting for. :-D

Dea Xxx

Sylvia glad all went ok hope tests come back all clear :-)

Cynthia your OH must have given you a real fright

We went to get our holiday money today and I decided to check we had enough in one account to pay the bills that comeout of it while we are away. Just as well I did it had been hacked they tried a small amount first and then kept going till they hit the overdraft limit :-|
They have put a stop on my card and will reissue with new pin and reimburse the money also Banks fraud squad and police will investigate :- Thank goodness it wasnt our main account just the one we only keep a few hundred in to use if buying online or paying by phone and to pay OH's mobile and insurance (he gave them wrong account number) its frightening how they can do this but I have told the bank I want to know why it wasnt spotted as 5 transactions for the same amount to the same company went out in succession :-(
I really need my holiday now :-)

OOOhh Linda - that happened to someone I know the othetr day too !!

Are you by any chance with Santander ???

Dea Xxx

OOOOhhh - I can't resist posting the 37,000 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
