Update~I can see!!
Monday,October 15, 2007Well finally. After exactly 1 week I can see! YAY!! I started to get really concerned about my vision in the eye. Everything was super, duper bright with a slightly orange/yellow tinge to it. I was thinking it might be for having it closed under that eye patch for so long so I ditched the patch. Used sunglasses and for a few days had to still pretty much keep it closed even with the sunglasses. Finally one morning I used the patch until lunchtime, took it off, put the sunglasses back on then tried really hard just to keep it open and use it.
That worked! YAY! lol By the next day I was fine without the sunglasses. WHEW!! That was a close one!
As for the nose bleed? Thankfully that seems to be a thing of the past. I still need to get in to see my family Dr. though and get some b/p meds. among other things.
Kids are home from school today for the teachers to have meetings. Had them Fri. too. I’m kind of going crazy! lol….want to work on some things but not sure how much I can get done with them here at home. Might have to wait.
Janna tagged me and I’m finally getting to it!! Ready? Here goes nothin’!
WHAT’S ON YOUR DESKTOP??
Ok…here’s mine. What’s really funny is that yesterday our internet/cable everything was out. Don’t know why but anyway I was sitting her messing around with my desktop. Cleaned it up, I don’t like a lot of icons on the desktop, I tend to go by the start button. Put new wallpaper on for Halloween, put on a new screensaver, and then when I did get the internet back on I even put a Halloween theme in for Firefox.
Then this AM I remembered I needed to update my blog about my health problems and that Jannah had tagged me! I swear I didn’t know what the tag was until today! So here’s my desktop, I just put a stock image on there for Halloween:)
Yes. I know it’s a thumbnail. I was too lazy to try and resize it down small enough not to blow up my blog so just click on it and you’ll see the large size in a new window. Least I think it’ll be in a new window! lol
I just downloaded and put the Flicker uploader in. sigh. Of course for whatever reason it won’t work for me. Oh well. I’ve always been kind of confused where it comes to Flicker!
I only have a few icons on there right now. I did have just the Dell splash screen and did have the blue bars but like I said I changed everything out yesterday..I LOVE the silver now!!
Here’s the info about the tag.
A. Upon receiving this tag, immediately perform a screen capture of your desktop. It is best that no icons be deleted before the screen capture so as to add to the element of fun. You can do a screen capture by going to your desktop and pressing the Print Scrn key (located on the right side of the F12 key).Open a graphics program (like Picture Manager, Paint, or Photoshop) and do a Paste (CTRL + V). [Edited by April to add: If you’re on a Mac, hit Command-Shift-3, and the screen capture will pop up on your desktop as Picture 1.png. Open this file in a graphics program and do your thing.] If you wish, you can “edit” the image, before saving it.
B. Post the picture in your blog. You can also give a short explanation on the look of your desktop just below it if you want. You can explain why you preferred such look or why is it full of icons. Things like that.
C. Tag five of your friends and ask them to give you a Free View of their desktop.
D. Add your name to this list of Free Viewers with a link pointing directly to your Desktop Free View post to promote it to succeeding participants.
List of Free Viewers:
iRonnie, Thess, Rebecca, Knoizki, Beng, Tina, Rachel, Alice, Julia, Darla, Carrie, Ann, April, Zee, Janna,Martha
As for who to tag?? I can’t think because my youngest is busy chanting, “give me chips, give me chips” over and over and over and over…………………..






wow your desktop is in time for the coming halloween. thanks for taking the time to join the tag. have a good day! ^_^
Open up the flickr upload and change the settings. The little light switch. It is you virus software blocking it… Well, it was my problem.
I am glad your eye is better!
Oh I forgot, I love the pumpkin too!
Woman, I am SOOOO glad your eye is doing better! (I got your voicemail over the weekend; sorry I missed you.) Take it easy and relax when you can (I know, that’s a high-priced commodity, LOL!)
Love the jack-o-lantern!
Oh Martha!
What a relief to hear that your sight is back. That was so scary. Now when you get your B/P meds, I can quit worrying, and go on about my business again. LOL! I can’t help it. I’m a mom. Worrying is what I do! Thanks for the update. Answered prayer! Love ya! Try my new gmail addy, and see it if works! It’s working for the others that had trouble with my email!
I’m glad to hear you eye is okay again. I hope you get a great weekend.
Thank heavens you eye story has a happy ending Martha. I was so nervous when I read your earlier post. Your son must have been so upset by what he’d done to you. I can still remember how terrible I felt when I was about 8 and I seriously threatened my uncle’s chances of leaving a legacy through an accidental punch. I had no idea then what the true impact was, only that he was doubled up in pain because of me.
oh Martha, I haven’t been able to check you up for a long time, and I read about your eye story…. hugs… I’m glad that your eyes are better now…
take care girl!!
HUGS!!!
Hm, I guess when you regained your eyesight, you lost your blogability. Miss you girl. I tagged you–AGAIN–in hopes that you’ll write again! Check out my blog for your tag.
HUGS!!
Merry Christmas Martha!
hey girl, where r u? miss you girl!
I am very glad your eyesight returned! You seemed to handle it very well. I fear going blind with my eyesight. My eyes are “bad” but I can wear glasses to correct my eyesight. Crazy fear, I know!
