I am not looking forward to it all, but I know something needs to be done.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-14971283974586783782017-12-04T07:36:17.070+01:002017-12-04T07:36:17.070+01:00Thank you, Jennifer!

It scares me quite a bit to think about it, but I am confident my doctor knows what she's doing (and recommending).Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-9719711197546250882017-12-02T20:13:31.855+01:002017-12-02T20:13:31.855+01:00I was very surprised to realize I already have Daw...I was very surprised to realize I already have Dawn on my Kindle, and from several years ago. It looked as if I had gotten to the end, but I wonder. Sometimes I become impatient and skip to the end of a book! One of my daughters also does this, but my son scolds us (kindly). I think I will try to go to the beginning and read it and see if I remember it.....Meike, I am sorry to hear your eye problems continue. I hope you have the very best medical advice and treatment. I also had quite poor vision from a very early age, but so far no more serious problems.Thickethouse.wordpresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17187303460677067276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-8313131659337233722017-12-02T19:02:46.904+01:002017-12-02T19:02:46.904+01:00I've read Pollyanna, but don't think I eve...I've read Pollyanna, but don't think I ever heard of this one before. Downloaded it now but when/if I'll get round to reading it remains to be seen! I understand your worry about your deteriorating eyesight - do you know the cause? Cataract, or something more complicated? I've not had that particular problem myself (yet) but I understand they're very good at that kind of surgery these days. (For my own part, I have 'posterior vitreous detachment' and seem to be stuck with my grey spots/clouds (not to be fixed with surgery). So I do recognize the problem of constantly wondering whether it may help to clean my glasses (again)... Hope you'll be able to get the right kind of help at the right time!DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1949425054295660529.post-39743631983737604892017-12-02T17:10:01.820+01:002017-12-02T17:10:01.820+01:00I'm so sorry to hear this about your eyes, Mei...I'm so sorry to hear this about your eyes, Meike.
