Any diagnosed germophobes or hoarders on this forum?

Thanks @NatureLover

My first session is next week. Hoping and praying that it will go well.

Just have to try and control the anxiety around it.

@Emelia8 I'm sorry your close vision has deteriorated 😞 I hope none of that was to do with the cancer medication...I'm sorry if so 😞

That's good that Holly has had her stitches out, I assume all is well now hopefully.

Take care 💜

@outlander it must be the season for eye tests! Good luck with yours...might be fun to change the style of glasses after 12 years! I'm looking forward to choosing mine, although I'm sure I'll be horrified by the cost (never had glasses before).

I'm feeling a bit better so don't need to talk about my anxiety...thank you, sweet girl

Good luck next Friday, and I will be crossing my fingers that the pain specialist won't cancel on you again...you really need some decent pain relief. 💙

@Snowie I will be keeping my fingers crossed that your first appt goes well. Also that your anxiety in the lead-up is manageable. I can empathise with very bad anxiety 💔 it's the pits. Sending lots of 💙

Thanks @NatureLover . Re Holly ... yes hopefully all is well now and the tumour does not grow back.

I am meant to tell all medical people (Drs, Dentists, Optometrists, etc) that I am on this particular anti cancer medication that I'm on. So I told my optometrist and he is aware of the side effects it can have on eyesight. He suggested I get more regular checkups, telling me to book a check in 3 months time. I normally only get a checkup every 2 years. Tomorrow I have my annual dental check up and clean. So I'm going to have to tell them about the medication too.

@Anastasia I'm glad you didn't have to repeat yourself too much. I can relate to when communicating is too draining. I did know about your high cholesterol...when will you start meds for that? It's funny, I had very high cholesterol just before I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes about 12 years ago...I started taking fish oil tablets, as my doctor said to, and the cholesterol dropped like magic. I didn't change my diet or exercise at all, just the fish oil. My cholesterol is good now. I hope it's OK with the moderators to mention the fish oil...I haven't mentioned any particular brands or quantities. Anyway @Anastasia , it's good your heart is OK 🙂

Oh I am so happy she is still treating you well. Perhaps whatever was causing her behaviour has been rectified?

Thanks I have no idea what's going on with the CEO's wife, all I can think is that she took a New Year's Resolution, and has kept it so far. Which, believe me, the whole office is happy about 🙂

I hope your garden leak is truly fixed. And yay for the time off to take your Dad somewhere for his birthday 🙂

That's good @Emelia8 that your optometrist is on the ball regarding 3 monthly checkups. I hope your dentist is too. Good luck tomorrow with the dental clean and check.

Thank you xoxo

Thanks, @outlander ...I'm glad you have the extras insurance. I was thinking overnight that I don't know how to manage sunglasses with the glasses, so I'll have to ask about that..which may be extra cost of course. All a big mystery. I hope your appt goes well with the optometrist today.
