Right then, so it's what I thought it was, something called Hydrops. Basically, part of one of the layers of the eye tore slightly and some of the fluid from underneath has seeped in. Think of it like a blister in my eye. :cab: Treatment is three weeks of steroid drops and two weeks of some other crazy stuff that makes my pupils dilate all day. Won't that be nice for my new Virgin Media work colleagues on Monday. "Hi! I have a crazy eye... don't look at it!" So yeah, hey ho and instead of the consultant wanting to see me in October, it's now in a month. Joy. (And cheers for the well-wishing, chaps. It helped paid for the prescription, obv.)

Marty is my hero, Hornet. I can only aspire to be so odd-looking. Coffers - no, not yet. The op will mean I have one, but that won't be next year. Or that's what I thought. If the consultant doesn't like what's happening, it might be sooner, but I can only hope that the thing doesn't explode before my trip to Italy.

I'll keep my fingers crossed that the Italy trip isn't affected then, that would be a disaster, Nic would let you hear the last of it, if that's the honeymoon.

Moo, stop being nesh. In Coffs day he'd have pulled his eye out and polished it with a piece of sandpaper and dried it in salt and there's you bitching about a bit of fog and clouding.
On the other hand - get better you poof.

I'm not so sure about the salt, I think we'd progressed to detol and jeyes fluid even then.

Is that because of the bees?
Will the bees have lazer eyes?

Due to being on the NHS, I don't get bees, I get yellow eyelashes. Which isn't as much fun.

Here's the joyous news all around, if you don't have the time for three paragraphs then just skip to the last line:
My father is back at home, still no news from the oncologist. But although coming back did lift his spirits briefly, he is visibly crumbling. We have decided to christen my younger at the earliest date availabel and let him arrange a celebratory lunch afterwards as he evidently sees it as his farewell party.
The friend's mother with vesicular cancer is being sent home without treatment other than painkillers because it is too extended for any hope of recovery. I am not sure they well even manage to take her home in her state.
Our friend's wife whose bone marrow transplant was going so well has just been informed new cancerous cells have been located. Meaning the transplant did not work, she has to go back to chemotherapy and try again not sooner than in one year's time. Doctors say she still has a chance to make it through the year.
Last line: They are all going to die pretty soon.

Not the news we were hoping for Meej - our thoughts are with you, obviously.
Puts my recent ailment very much into perspective.

Sorry to hear the news, meej. It's all very sad.
One of my colleagues at work had a masectomy operation yesterday, in the hope of removing some breast cancer. And another colleague is at home having had his cancer from last year return - moving from his skin to his hip, then up to his brain. He won't be back at work...

I can only re-iterate what Moo said, my thoughts are with you and your family/families, meej.

Sad news, meej. Like I said, it's a cunt and a half. With bells on.
Hope things that remain are as comfortable as possible.

You have my sympathy Meej, as do they.
But to lighten the mood - for some reason I started thinking about Meej with alopecia, and it made me laugh at work a little too loudly.

Meej, that sounds like you received all that pretty much at the same time. One of those is bad enough. Three at once I can't image how that's like.
A friend at work has pancreatic cancer :moop:
