What a great lady! Best wishes, Thanks! She *was* a wonderful woman. Never let anything get her down. Now here's a tale about how her husband got her to date him. She had been married once before, very young, and her husband died. (She really did have a sad life but you'd never know it.) So she was living with my grandparents and her car broke down. This was when she could still see. My uncle Howard was a mechanic in this tiny town in Ohio, the only garage there was. He was a mountain of a man; he looked like he was wearing shoulder pads; she was tall and skinny. Think Jack Sprat could eat no fat, his wife could eat no lean; except in reverse. So he didn't think she'd go out with him. So he fixed what was wrong with her car but then "fixed" something else so it would break so she'd have to bring it back to get it repaired. This went on for about three trips to the garage before he finally got up the nerve to ask her out! G Mom tells me when they saw this big guy come in the door they were all like "WHOA!" Howard was a gentle giant. They were married over 40 years. Ain't love grand? Jill "jmcquown" wrote in message news The mention of cataracts reminded me of something. My aunt Jean who lived in Columbus, OH, developed diabetes when she was a teenager, in the 1930's. She became legally blind when she was in her 20's; snip |

Yes. The measurement (tonometry) should be part of every routine eye examination. The newer methods don't even make contact with the surface of the eye, but do it with light. Thank goodness they don't need to wrap little cuffs around your eye to measure the pressure. |

Well, I had to go back to the hospital today for an opinion on my recently operated upon eye. (snip) We're purring hard for a complete recovery for your eye; we'll add in some *and hurry it up already* purrs as well. ------ Krista |
