    LOTS OF TEXT WARNING

    The Eye Saga

    I've had a dead right eye since I fell off a mountain in California (a story for later).  And off and on, my left eye would get floaters that would show up and vanish a few days later.  It was no big deal, until...

    A few weeks ago I had the floaters.  I waited but they didn't go away, in fact they got worse.  I panicked and asked Anne to call 911 since I was close to blind, and we had a pile of ambulances show up!   They asked me all kinds of stupid questions, and it turned out that they thought I might have had a stroke (!!!).   So wheeeeeeeeeee ambulance ride to the E.R. and more questions, poking, prodding, checking my speech and co-ordination and memory, passed everything but the vision test.  So into a hospital room and they called an on-call opthamlogist, and while I waited it was a brain MRI followed not long after by a CAT scan (I am proud to have no cats inside my head).  So, one neurologist comes to the room and says my vision issue isn't brain-related, then proceeds to tell me I've had a stroke!! WTF?!?!?!?!?!? So, more tests, very annoying.. neurologist can't find any symptoms, second neurologist called in.  This one shows me a pic and points to a small white area and says "This bit of your brain is dead."  CREEPY!!!  Apparently it's called a 'silent stroke' since there are no symptoms.  And let me tell you, they tried their best to find issues!  Ever seen that little wheel thingy with spikes? That damn thing hurts!  So, after a couple of days of testing they decide that whatever part of the brain it hit wasn't in use (heh).  The eye doc came in and looked at the MRI and CAT scan and told me my floaters were blood and my eye was bleeding into itself (SICK EWWW MORE CREEPY!!!).The diagnosis: diabetes creates sugar crystals in your blood, which are apparently like tiny glass shards and can shred capillaries.  This happened in my retina, killing some blood flow.  The eye grew new blood vessels, but some grew out into the eyeball juice with no support, broke off, and bled into the juice - gross!

    Once out of the hospital the doc gave me an injection into my eye (HORROR MOVIE) to stop the bleeding, which it did - for a week.  If the injection had lasted longer the floaters would sink to the bottom of the eye and a laser could be used to cauterize the rogue veins, but I was not so lucky.  Back into surgery, eyeball operated on, and oil pumped in to help the retina heal. So, my unaided vision is fuzzy - but no floaters - and I can see colors that I lost years ago.Healing will take months but the doc says at the end of it I'll see fine.  Of course, this is going to make finding work tricky so I'm likely to file for my long-term disability insurance and just pick up small remote jobs I can code at home.  Freelancer.com is a brokering site and I know several companies that hire for specific bits of software like drivers and such, so I should be able to make rent and cold pizza money until this damn thing heals up.At least I can see well enough to take short walks outside when the weather doesn't suck!

    The neurologist wants a follow-up visit, so I suppose I should make arrangements...

     

     

    ...yikes! Hope he gave you an anaesthetic vefore that injection. Also been diagnosed with diabetes but the more easiky treatable veesion, just pills and managing the diet. Actually lost some weight after changing my diet and watching portions more closely. Also much more into organic meats, poultry, and fisg that isn't factory farm raised and injected with growth hormones and antibiotics. It isn't cheap (especially on my income) but I have been feeling way better and have few if any gut issues any more.

    I'm type 2 and on pills, it just went undiagnosed for a loooooong time.  I've made major lifestyle changes, but for some things it's just too late.. now it's all damage control. :-|

    They watch my blood work very closely cause it's getting worse every year. I get blood work every 3 months and have a home meter that I have to check once a day and show the Dr the recordings. My dad is an insulin diabetic. He takes it 3 times a day. My mother is type 2 undedicated. Controlled with diet.

    Diabetes sucks.  I expect insulin isn't far off for me... Mom was borderline diabetic.  Urgh.

Also tired of getting those forum update and "draft saved at..." messages as they usually cover most of the editing window making the process even slower as I have to wait until they go away.

    Here's hoping good things happen sooner than later...!!!

    Ah, Thursday.  Cold outside but toasy in my cave, alas, I have to take trash out soon and not looking forward to that.  

    Cooking and meetings today, oh joy, and moving the last of my files off my work computer to my personal system so I can send the work system back to San Antonio.  Everything work-relaated is now running via the Web since I'm just documenting and doing knowledge ttransfer until the 30th.  I need to make sure OpenOffice can edit my timesheets.. I'll do that today.

    I have two external drives, a USB 3 4TB archive and a 3TB eSATA online drive.  The SSD in this Dell Precision laptop is only 500GB so a lot of things run off the eSATA, which is a damn fast drive.  Neither external drive is anywhere near full.

    Final visit to the prosthetic doc tomorrow afternoon to make sure the fake foot is 100 percent as it's got to last forever.  Fun, not, more poking and prodding.

    No real complaints today, at least not yet. :P

    ...three and a half hours to go. Very simple setup as the building is already wired for it and there are jacks in the wall. Need to most likely update some of the work system's AV utilities. Need to decide as the Symantec service I had was provided by the last carrier. Malware Bytes complete seems to get very high ratings at Newegg and costs less than the 3 system package Symantec has. Also need to update the other two notebooks (one is Linux) then I can use them on the Net. Need to find a way to transfer files off the 12 year old one with the bad display as the HDD is still good.

    I use the paid version of AVAST. It is a very good AV. I also run scans every week with Malwarebytes and superantispyware.

    ...loving my new place. Recycle is indoors and there's a rubbish chute that goes into that dumpster (must be bagged) so don't have to go outside. Now that my retirement is official I've been thinking about more congenial climes. The downside I heard about Austin is that housing is almost as expensive as here in Portland. Also we have a good state health plan as well as a programme for free Medicare (still need to check that out as it will save me 146$ a month). Portland also has direct Amtrak service to Seattle, BC, California, and Milwaukee/Chicago. I don't travel by air anymore as with my arthritis wracked bones and joints (changes in air pressure really do a number on me) and circulation issues, I cannot handle someone effectively sitting in my lap for several hours. I'll only fly if it is extremely necessary or in Buisiness/First class. Actually made a trip to Milwaukee in First as it turned out to cost only 6$ more than "Premium Coach" since you pay no luggage fees or penalties for changes. That big seat up front (with no no one in the middle to rub elbows with) does make a difference (as does the free booze) and all on 737s & 757s instead of those cramped little regional jets. Cost me over 800$ less than the train with sleeper car.

    ...Avast at best was getting 2 stars when I was checking user ratings. The version of Malware Bytes I am considering was getting 4 to 5. I also heard that Avast can interfere more with daily routine operations. MB also has a lighter "footprint" on system performance than Symantec. I already have Sophos as a second line of defence on the work system.

    Sweet! Sounds like nice digs, good times.  I've never flown first class, unless I win the Lotto I likely never will.. train is nice but sleepers are stupid expensive!!! If I go anywhere it'll be train or bus.. can't imagine flying with my prosthesis, I bet TSA would have a field day.

  • NVIATWASNVIATWAS Posts: 1,242

    Non-complaint: being a short-timer gets me out of certain meetings.

    Meeting host: "We're here to discuss firmware issues and our new software development process."

    Me: "Why am I here? I haven't worked with the firmware in six months."

    Host: "We're also discussing our new development methodology."

    Me: "My last day with the company is November 30."

    Host: "Oh.  Sorry, you can go."

    I guess my boss hasn't told everyone I'm on my way out the door.  Well, back to documenting about 34 modules and 6000 lines of code...

    ...ooh never thought about that. Isn't it all carbon fibre though or does it have internal metal components? Yeah for long trips by train I need sleeping accommodations as I do not sleep well sitting up, especially with a total stranger next to me. This is why I have found domestic First on the airlines to actually be a good deal (and I never take a "redeye" flight). If you are a bit flexible you can find some good deals. When I was still earning a steady income I travelled somewhat frequently mainly to kite festivals. Used to fly Northwest (or one of their partners like Alaska) and rack up the miles. Instead of using them for free coach tickets (20,000 miles) I would cash in 10,000 miles for an upgrade to First. The funny part was when I did so I'd get the First Class bonus miles. Really miss that as Delta (who acquired Northwest) is restricting upgrades to Business/First to only "premium" fare tickets

    Cozy inside is the most important thing.  Freezing your yarbles off indoors is depressing and painful...

    Yeah, I didn't set the heat on until late October.  I was wearing a fleece sweater jacket most of the day, inside.  But when it got down to 62 inside, that's when I decided enough is enough.  62 was on the thermostat...which is at eye level for me.  Down where I sit at the desk it was probably in the upper 50s.  My hands don't do well in the cold.  Fingers get stiff and typing is uncomfortable...playing guitar is downright impossible, and it hurts.

    @KK:

    Most of the prosthesis is carbon fiber, but the footplate and the connections for the Velcro strap are embedded into the fiber sheath itself, which makes it super-strong as well as metal detector and x-ray bait.  Taking it off just means they get to run off with it potentially, screw that.

     

    I miss traveling... I get 3 more paychecks, 2 full and one four-day.  I might see how far I can get on a bus with the few hundred buck 32 hours of pay produces.  I sleep sitting up fine, so bus travel is "acceptable" although train is better.  And since I won't be working, time stops being a showstopper issue.

    It's something to dream about...

    We have 43f outside at the mo, with wind fron WNW at between 8 and 20mph (gusty wind)   I have my thermostat for heating running at 54f and I am sitting here wearing a long sleeved tee shirt with a cotton camisole under it.   My typing fingers do get stiff, but that is more just the Arthritus kicking in because I am having to do all the chores now. Himself used to do things like peeling veg and washing up which are the sort of thing which make my hands stiffen up.

Himself used to do things like peeling veg and washing up which are the sort of thing which make my hands stiffen up.

    Ugh, stay warm!
