Rancher, get back to work! I see that you have time on your hands today. Must be a Snood day huh!!!

 

For now, I got in the office at 0600 to accomplish a little scripting action for CCL cert provisions. I can only go as fast as the server. I need better servers [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Its groups servers. Tell them there chit sucks and you want new toys!!!! Have they ever turned you down before, except for not buying you decent work phones.

 

Mornin PSAR, well Julies problem with her eye turned out to be worse than I ever imagined. We had thought it was just allergies acting up when we were down in florence. It just kept getting worse and worse. She has been to the eye specialist every day this week so far as well as the MD's and they have determined she has a fungus type of infection in her eye. At one point they were not sure if she would lose her eye or not. They have saved her eye but she may still have a permanent vision loss in the eye, and scar tissue at the very least. They can't tell us for sure what caused it, but it may be something she was using with her contacts. We have been having to put 3 different kinds of medication in her eye every hour on the hour day and night two different kinds of special drops and a paste. She goes back in today at 11:00 am again for some kind of procedure. Monday they had to scrape her eye to remove the fungus and she is in a great deal of pain. They said yesterday that there was a slight improvment so she is responding to the meds. It kills me to see her hurting so bad and there's nothing I can do to help her. To add insult to injury the focking insurance company is not paying for the special meds as they are compounded and non formulary. Poor thing, she has a nasty sinus infection to boot so she's double miserable. I'll keep everone posted as to how she's doing.

 

Randy, what kind of solution did she use for her contacts?? I'm not sure if you guys heard about this or not, but renu had a big law suit against them because whatever was in there solution was making people go blind. I for one used Renu never had any problems and when i heard about this, i switched ASAP.

That sucks that she is going through this. Tell her we all said to heal up quick, and take care of her. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

Wow Randy, I hope she starts to feel better. its good to know that she won't lose her eye. why won't insurance pick up on the med or care??

 

Randy, We hope Julie's eye and sinus' get better, we'll keep you guys in our prayers. I use Renu for my contacts as well and have had issues with my left eye as of late, looks like I will be making a switch also.

 

sounds good to me. This time maybe we'll have a babysitter not cancel on us last minute.

 

HOLY HECK MAN>.. thats terrible Randy/Julie.. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img] OFC is speachless.. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

 

This is serious stuff. Showed this to my wife and she was saying that when she worked in a hospital they would see this kind of problem from time to time. Particularly bad when there is a sinus infection along with the eye problems because of the ease of cross contamination. They had to use extream measures to keep the cross contamination down and were constantly cautioning the person not to touch their face. Kept them from touching their eye and nose/mouth. She says some folks would respond to antibiotics well and others not. Very painful and can be really difficult to heal up. Good news is that nearly all of the cases she saw had very good outcomes but the recovery was slow. Wife also mentioned that Julie may also want to be tested for boarderline diabetes problems as this can really contribute to this problem. Also, many of the cases she saw were using long wear contacts.

We'll keep you in our prayers, keep us posted on how things are going.
