Riding a Rocket

Suffice to say that life's been insane up to this point. *laughs* Good. Very good, but utterly insane.

I added to the insanity, today, by driving 90 miles each way to Monument, CO, and meeting up with 2metaldog and Tam, the friend she was staying with, AND making it back home in time for a very intense time with my eye doctor about my eye problems.

It was wonderful to meet you in person and I just love the colours of the yarn I bought from you *pets yarn*. And yes, if you liked the look of the dolls previously, seeing them in person can really do you in *laughs*.

I'm glad to hear the drive was good and you made your appointment in time. I hope the eye thing clears up (or at least goes to tolerable) for you.

[liralen]

*beams happily* So so happy you like the yarn. And, yes, I was utterly fascinated by the dolls and their personalities, especially in conjunction with the personalities you've already written about. *grins*

I think I have a pretty good handle on how to manage it now, which is more than I could say before the appointment. It's not going to magically go away, but now I can get at it with stuff that isn't the steroid drops that have been raising my internal eye pressure... (yeah, I know... I said, allergy, dry eye, and virus. Should have added borderline glaucoma too to the mix... lol). So it *is* actually pretty good.

Kinda confirmed what I suspected, and he gave me a few ways to pull it. So thanks!!

Sympathies on your eye problems.

Have your eye doctors looked for infection? When symptoms get worse with immune suppressants, it may be time to consider that possibility.

[mdlbear]

Indeed. I had an eye infection recently -- no fun. This does sound different, though.

[liralen]

No fun at all. Whew.

I used to have them this time of year, regularly. Bah.

This is definitely different... thank goodness. I'm not waking up with my eye glued shut. And those seemed to hurt more...

[liralen]

Thank you!

Yes! My eye doc did look for infections and we've ruled 'em out as there isn't any of the viral or bacterial conjunctivitis issues or other effects. In the summer, we got rid of what was basically a viral wart on the edge of my right eyelid (something mollsculum) by cutting it out and cauterizing it and that got rid of *part* of the problem.

Actually it turns out that dry eye can get worse with antihistimins... and autoimmune suppressants. So... it kind of fits.

[incandescens]

Sympathy on the eye problems, and I'm crossing my fingers that the new prescriptions help.

Oh, and... ahem... I have to confess that I bought a BJD at Yaoicon. She's in a box in my luggage. A 45-cm MSD Angel of Dream. :)

(I'm calling her Irene. You can probably guess why.)

(blushes)

[liralen]

*laughs* You've fallen!! Yes. Very very tempting... especially when they *so* resemble one of your characters. *grins*

(admires)

[incandescens]

You will probably be unable to escape photos of her later. :)

[liralen]

Hoorah!

Hi! Just wanted to say thanks for driving all that way to meet us in Monument, it was really nice meeting you in person.

And your talent with yarn and knitting... *is speechless* Between you and ID's talents with the needles I feel very... um... unskilled? :P

Glad to hear you made it back in time for your eye appointment. Tell your doctor you're severely allergic to doctor's bills. XD Hope it clears up for you soon!

[liralen]

It was great to meet you!

*laughs* The way you feel about me knitting? I think I feel that way about how you enjoy cons. *grins* It was wonderful to hear the stories and it made me all enthusiastic about it all!

Knitting, for me at least, is just something I've been doing since I was a kid... so I don't remember not being able to knit. *laughs*

*laughs* I love your advice!! Thank you.
