Jelinga my OH just finished 5 months of injections into his eyes, he went fortnightly. He said once the drops are in you don't feel the injection thankfully. It was more the thought of it that than the actual injection. They are just keeping a check now every 6 weeks. Still can't get his sugar levels under 10/12 but better than the 26 it was to start with.
What made you smile today?

The injections worked really well for my mother, so I hope the treatment is successful for you too.

Mine has had a couple, goes once a month, he wanted me to go in with him last time, nurse said no, then she said ok then, but don't faint! As if I would, it was quite fascinating. OH's is for wet Macular Degeneration though he does have high blood sugar, had that all his life! Have the injections helped your OH.

Mine too, started in my late 40's, unusual apparently and they dropped the words 'age related' when they diagnosed it , not now though.

That was very young to start. I remember breaking my finger when I was in my late 60s and the nurse said I was a 'tough, old bird"!!!! I said "more of the tough and less of the old"Mine too, started in my late 40's, unusual apparently and they dropped the words 'age related' when they diagnosed it , not now though.

I hope the injections really help @FayRose
Yesterday I smiled when I was at lunch with my closest girlfriends and I took a special bottle of champagne and we had a big 'cheers' to my friend who has recently finished cancer treatment, her hair has grown back a tiny bit and she looked so well and happy. She has been single since her late twenties (she was 53 on Saturday) but met a nice fella about 9 months ago and he is lovely and really helped her through the dark days of her treatment. She found out about the breast cancer when they had only been dating about 3 months and he stuck around so definitely a keeper!!

They don't make 'em like you any more @Jelinga , I can vouch for that !tough, old bird"!!!! I said "more of the tough and less of the old"
So not a lot has made me smile this week, but then we received a certain Christmas card yesterday. We get one every year from Australia, from the same family, and we haven't got a clue who they are. I don't even think that the family they are writing to ever lived in this house.
This is the 8th card we've had, and it's always a similar beach scene. I hope one year they will write and say they've moved house and include their new address, and I can write back and say 'we don't know you, you don't know us, but thank you for the annual Christmas card'

Ha, I bet it happens a lot, I'm just impressed they still go to the effort and expense to write to people who have ignored them for a decade
