Aboyne Doll's outfit done

No one accuses me of that! ;->

If I had several years to adjust, my brain would probably learn to compensate, too. As I have only three weeks, until the second eye is done, I'll just try to be extra careful.

Beverly, sitting at my computer with just one of my old contact lens in (on the "unoperated" eye), and it's working quite well.... ;-)

I was able to discuss what the problem was with the doctor at the post-op visit this AM. He said that sometimes the little "arms" which act to keep the lens centered bend or kink when inserted. That's what happened to the first one. So he decided to upgrade me to a newer kind of lens which has integral (rather than added) springs. It also has some newer technology in the filtering, so I should actually have a much better result! And he promised he would use the new type of lens when he does my second eye, too. ;-)

That is terrific news, I'm so glad for all of you! Hearing the words "clear margins" has to be just about the best news you could have wished for.

That's the pits, but better safe than sorry. Best wishes,

Beverly

A solution! I just tossed my last pair of contacts -- which I haven't worn since 1990. I doubt they would suit now, and I don't think they can be "recycled."

Soon you will have two "young" eyes and there will be absolutely no stopping you!

I bought this pair just before DD's wedding, so they are relatively new. They were never particularly comfortable, but still, having both eyes corrected approximately the same is a huge relief. I thought I had thrown them out, I was delighted to find they were still here, and still hydrated! I even drove back to the doctor's office this afternoon, he failed to perform one test this morning. All is well.

From your mouth....

*paint* put on the flower centers and refired... five times until it created a raised center of the flower. Then they were all given a r****ng with platinum. Special. And that was always the way I felt when we ate Formally.

I agree when you have only acouple of pieces to wash hand wash away. I certainly does save on time, money and energy than to put a few pieces in the dishwasher. But in reference to the sterling in the dishwasher. Somewhere in the last couple of years my Mom read that you shouldn't put the everyday stainless in the dishwasher with the silver. It caused spotting and something else. So, the dishwasher is usually run and emptied *before* the dinner that way it only has the good tableware to be washed together. As for your tarnishing, do you store your silver in "Pacific silvercloth"? There is a built in something, I forget exactly what, that prevents/retards the silver from tarnishing. I know I've seen it at a few of the fabric stores online. Mom's china cabinet has a silvercloth lined drawer just for that purpose.

Well that's my two cents, AK in PA

That sounds like a silver lining!

Thank you! And it was, absolutely positively.

Doreen, What better way to finish the old year and start the new .Clear margins. It's got to be the best gift to you and your family ever. Juno

It is, Juno. DGD said, "Last year I had cancer. This year I don't!" Thinking about that brings a big smile to my face and my heart.

How wonderful for all of you. Now you can perhaps sleep easily at night (until the next crisis comes along, that is.) I'm so happy for all of you.

Thank you, Olwyn Mary!

The girl has a great attitude, and attitude counts a lot in cancer cases. Good for her, we are continuing our good thoughts to her and the whole family.

Jean

Thanks, Jean! She has been pretty sick this week with a virus...the chemo plays havoc with white blood cells, which give us resistance...but she's better now.
