The American Academy of Opthomology has a great article on this:
https://www.aao.org/eye-health/drugs/anti-vegf-treatments

Basically they're used to slow down or stop the formation of new blood vessels in the eye. Can be helpful for those with macular degeneration, diabetes, and a few other conditions. It can slow down vision loss or even improve it.

I would recommend the individual have a good, candid conversation with their ophthalmologist about risks and benefits. If it's a choice between slowly losing vision or maybe improving it, I would do it.

Thanks Lily...

That's a good place to learn also. Their veins are so fragile!

I doubt I could start one now. I haven't started an IV in over a decade.

Sheeeeeit.... I bet you can throw one like a dart and hit my vein!!!

It's been oppressively hot here lately; today was over 90°! Tonight, the clouds rolled in to cool us off. When I took my trash bins out, I noticed an orange moon! This is not filtered!

Have you been overdoing the spray tan again?

 

[nipplecaresser]

Awesome, you're having a special deck made for it!

The first ones I ran had data tags stamped 1977 and 1978.
A technician was onboard doing and annual inspection and I told him it was impressive they're still running...
He replied
"Oh hell no! That ones a 1953 and that one's a 1957, those tags are when they got a factory reman!"

That was in 2017.

I have a couple of good running flathead straight eights. One was built in 1946 and it's a 1934 design. The other is a 1947 model and it is a 1939 design. Keep oil in them and don't abuse them (too much) and they keep on ticking.

I didn't think this works on cataracts. Why haven't you had them removed and lens implants put in?

I had cataracts removed and see so much better.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

Hmmm. Well..., maybe that. And/or a light fondle. But nothing more!

Okay, but be careful not to get ostracized from the Group Grope.

I hadn't been on a backhoe since late last century and still knew that whats and wheres, granted, without the proficiency. It's that old muscle memory like riding a bicycle.

Maybe you're not sure how the internet works?

We have members here from multiple times zones. When it's nighttime in most of the US, Europe is waking up.

Also, you're new here.
Welcome!

We run this thread a little differently.

Read the first post...goes over the "rules" so to speak.

I will summarize:
1. No religion
2. No politics
3. No drama
4. No hitting on the women-- dm the person if interested.... if they don't respond.... there is your answer.

I will add
5. For God sake read a profile before you dm the wrong person.
6. If your first post is heavy on the innuendo ..... you need to slow your roll

This thread is like the bar cheers or the corner coffee shop. We are FRIENDS here and not like other threads...we are fiercely protective of the vibe and each other. If this sounds like a place you would like, stick around.... if not there are eleventy billion other threads that will suit your needs.

To get an idea of the vibe I would scroll through the last 10 pages or so and you will see.

It's our very own Tribe Vibe.



Wonderer plays bass, of course . . . .

I woke up too many times last night. Cat naps help.

Good morning denizens of the diner that is open 24/7 for insomniacs and early risers or night owls depending on what time zone you’re in.

Another grandpa taxi run today. And a therapy session with my grief counselor. Just when you think you got it under control, it bites you in the *#**.

Doctor Tyler had hers done maybe 7-8 years ago and she is very pleased with the results.

I need remedial education if ever going back to bedside

I am headed for my second cup now. I hope everyone's day is as good as the coffee taste!

 

[Wonderer67]

Ugh! That's not good. I'm so sorry! Don't eat anything that requires chewing until you regain feeling. Try a salt water gargle for the access.

Good call. Thats what the dentists said too.

I think I turned the corner yesterday. Felt much better (I slept for 12 hrs on Tuesday), had a lot more energy and the pain was slightly less.

And it’s not fully there, my lip is slightly less numb. I think feeling is returning to it.
