Have You Ever Been A Fan Of Julie Andrews?

Tue, 08 Dec 2009 19:42:21 +0000

Just laugh—-doesn’t do any good to cry.
Julie Andrews turns 69 -
To commemorate her 69th birthday on October 1 last year,
Actress/vocalist, Julie Andrews
made a special appearance at Manhattan’s Radio City Music Hall
for the benefit of the AARP.
One of the musical numbers she performed was
“My Favourite Things” from the legendary movie,
“Sound Of Music”.
Here are the lyrics she used:
Maalox and nose drops and needles for knitting,
Walkers and handrails and new dental fittings,
Bundles of magazines tied up in string,
These are a few of my favourite things.
Cadillac’s and cataracts, and hearing aids and glasses,
Polident and Fixodent and false teeth in glasses,
Pacemakers, golf carts and porches with swings,
These are a few of my favourite things.
When the pipes leak,
When the bones creak,
When the knees go bad,
I simply remember my favourite things,
And then I don’t feel so bad.
Hot tea and crumpets and corn pads for bunions,
No spicy hot food or food cooked with onions,
Bathrobes and heating pads and hot meals they bring,
These are a few of my favourite things.
Back pains, confused brains, and no need for sinnin’,
Thin bones and fractures and hair that is thinnin’,
And we won’t mention our short shrunken frames,
When we remember our favourite things.
When the joints ache,
When the hips break,
When the eyes grow dim,
Then I remember the great life I’ve had,
And then I don’t feel so bad.
Ms. Andrews received a standing ovation from the
crowd that lasted over four minutes
and
repeated encores!

Can A Baby Be Delivered Vaginally If The Mother Has Glaucoma? Or Would A C-section Have To Be Done?

Thu, 03 Dec 2009 14:07:27 +0000

while i’m not pregnant now i do plan on having children at some point and i have glaucoma.
i have wondered this for a while now but since i am not pregnant i haven’t asked my eye specialist about it yet.
i’m just curious at this point since i have glaucoma is it possible for me to deliver vaginally or would i need a c-section?
my glaucoma is completely under control. (my pressure is usually between 12-18 in each eye). i take cosopt eye drops twice a day in my right eye for it and i had a tube inserted in my left eye to control the pressure cuz the drops weren’t working.
btw i have also had several other eye issues including 4 detached retinas (twice in each eye). also i was born with coloboma and recently had cataract surgery. i’m not sure if any of that contributes how i deliver a baby i figured i’d lay it all out there.

Why Don’t I Qualify For Ssdi? I Have Been Diagnosed With Glaucoma And Cataracts In Both Eyes.?

Fri, 27 Nov 2009 19:35:32 +0000

I can’t afford the eye drops or the surgery to remove the cataracts. Both conditions lead to blindness. I rec’d a disabled bus pass so why can’t I receive help from Social Security? I do work 37 hrs/wk.

Don’t You Think If I Paid $3,000 To Have Cataract Surgery For My Dog, That The Vet Could Give Me A Break?

Thu, 26 Nov 2009 05:46:19 +0000

So my dog got cataracts and so I spent $3,000 for him to have the surgery.
First off the 3k was for both eyes, it would have only been $1,500 for one eye, but both had the cataracts. THE point is, the doc said…oh well the lense was too thin for the one eye, so we couldnt fix it.
So now my dog can only see out of 1 eye, and runs into walls and things.
Then we go for our “follow up” visits which are $120 dollars for the visit and $130 for 4 bottles of eye drops that he needs.
So every month that is $250 dollars! Come on doc, you are killin me here.
Do I have the right to ask him for a price break or for a $1,500 refund of the one eye since he didnt fix that one? Or what should I do?

Can I Go Blind If I Can No Longer Blink? I Also Have A Cataract.?

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 22:49:24 +0000

I am asking these questions on behalf of my 75 year old Mother, who recently had an ischemic stroke in April and from the affects of the stroke my mother is no longer able to blink only from her (R) eye. Her eye seems to be painful and is receiving eye drops to help with dry eye.
She was seen by an optometrist in the fall and was informed that she has a cataract in that same eye (R).
She suffers with daily blurred vision and is fearful that she will lose her eyesight if she watches television, only because it seems to bother her.
If there is away that you could put her mind at ease and reassure her that this would not happen I feel that she would perhaps be more settling.
Can you suggest something for her in away of comfort and let us know if it would be essential to cover her eye with a patch?
My mother is a resident in a nursing home since her stroke and perhaps there is more they can do for her.
Sincerely,
Rose

My 8 year old dog has a cataract in his left eye, is there another treatment other than surgery? I’ve heard of prescription eye drops called Ocluvet, has anyone ever used that on their pet?

One junior Doctor advised operation saying that it is cortical cataract. Other doctor told that it is due to blocked tear duct. One senior doctor told that it nothing but minor infection and prescribed some eye drops.He also told that no cataract was observed.
How can i take any decision as three eye specialists are involved ?

I Had Cataract Surgery (right Eye) A Week Ago. Is It Normal To Have These Symptoms?

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 08:44:42 +0000

Eyeball feels unnaturally soft when I gently press on the lid especially on the top right side. I see flashes of light or pinwheels in the same area. The eye is still sore, especially when blinking. I have three eye drops (Acular, Ofloxacin anfd Pred Forte) the opthomologist gave me to use and I have been following his directions. I have an appointment to see him tomorrow, but I’d like some info beforehand. Thank you.
