    You do have very pretty blue eyes! Yes, the bright lights in dilated pupils are very uncomfortable. We are also having a huge increase in cases here as well. What is that famous UK expression common during WWll, "Keep calm and carry on".

    My 35-year-old son in Chicago got Covid just before Thanksgiving. I was very surprised because he is so healthy. He only went out to work and back. He was sick for about a week and a half. There were a few scary days he couldn't breathe but he's fine now. Although he still gets winded. I think I would make the suggestion about taking the online classes.

    • @PlanetImo

    I know you both are going to be fine. You are very proficient at masking up and staying away from people. I also have a good feeling about you both.

    • @PlanetImo
      @PlanetImo  4 роки тому

      Thanks, Chari. The thing is, they don’t mask up in their class at college, and from what I gather, the other students don’t do a lot of social distancing outside of college so Izzy may well be bringing it into the home where of course, we don’t wear masks. I’m trying to keep the windows open as much as possible though. But anyway, she’s not going back to college for months now, so that at least simplifies the home danger somewhat.

    I always have to get an eye exam every two years. And it's always funny when they put those drops into my eyes. It makes for an interesting drive back home. lol

    It was probably worth having your eyes checked even if only for peace of mind. A few years back one of my eyes got irritated and I kept putting it off until it effected my vision. When I finally went in they found shards of metal and had to drill rust spots out. The relief was instant.

    • @PlanetImo
      @PlanetImo  4 роки тому

      Oh my gosh!! I wonder if a string magnet near your eyes could have caused you injury. I guess it would depend on the type of metal.

    Your eyes were even more striking than usual.
    Glad they're ok.
    I have had intra-ocular lens replacements in both eyes since early 2019.
    I don't see gynecologists, but I've had 2 prostate examinations - both by lady doctors. So I think I can sympathize with you! lol

    • @PlanetImo
      @PlanetImo  4 роки тому +1

      IB had the same lens replacement surgery, actually. Oh, sorry to hear about the examinations! I got used to the gynaecologists by the time I gave birth to Izzy, having had so many examinations leading up to that point, but it's been a while since then so I've got awkward about it again now!

    • @PlanetImo
      @PlanetImo  4 роки тому +1

      Ahhh! Yeah, it's called Methotrexate and is a seriously heavy duty one, usually used to treat arthritis, I think? It's cyto-toxic medication/inhibits cell division so has to be very carefully administered and her bloods need monitoring all the time, as mistakes could be potentially fatal. It's one of those meds you don't take lightly shall we say... She had to start on a very low dose and gradually work her way up over about... ooh, possibly over a year? It was a long time before it reached a therapeutic level, but that's how careful they are to establish the safe dosage. We can't get it from the GP - the prescription can only come from the consultant dermatologist at the hospital. It's not available to people under 13 years of age. It's really turned her life around.

      Oh Izzy had a few courses of that - it burned her skin - the nurses said she had the most sensitive skin she had encountered in her whole career. How did it work out for you? You could ask about Methotrexate? But do read up on it - as it is a big scary one - but - hey - Dupilumab!! It's the all-new, revolutionary eczema medication. Have you heard of it? It's the beacon of hope for all sufferers. It's a once a fortnight injection, though the last I heard, it was in long-needle form only and they didn't have the self-injector pen version yet. They might have by now? I think it costs the NHS getting on for a grand a month per patient so they won't dish it out lightly. It's very new and was just getting licenced in kids when the pandemic struck. I attach the leaflet that the hospital gives you... www.bad.org.uk/shared/get-file.ashx?id=6416&itemtype=document
      It has to be kept below a certain temperature in a fridge and the cold chain can't be broken.

    Good morning from lazy me who's still in bed at 10am.
    What a bus fiasco for you but thankfully you got there and back in a safe manner. Glad your eyes are ok. Too bad you weren't told ahead to bring sunglasses. I laughed out loud at your "nether regions". Had it once where I had to go for my regular B12 shot and Dr says "seeing that I had a cancelation I can do your pap". My eyes must have got big 👀, as right away he said that I could make another app't. Ha
    Good thing your mask covered up the rogue bits of pasty in your teeth. I am also on edge with the rising numbers. Lead health Dr said she's worried about January numbers. Now that really put me at ease...NOT!!
    Can't wait for this nightmare to be over.
    Time to get up and have some breakfast. be Enjoy your evening.. Hi to Izzy. 💕😘🎄
