I just recieved the most distraught news a parent could here on Friday. My 15 year old son has Glaucoma, the same eye disease I have that caused me to go blind. His eye physician checked his ocular pressure on Friday and it was very high. He has been closely monitored by his physician for a year now since he was diagnosed with Glaucoma. Friday morning she checked his optic nerve and said that the Glaucoma has done some damage to the nerve. How much she does not know but it is damaged. She will be doing a visual field test in a couple of weeks to determine if any vision has been lost. He does have to have eye surgery though. The eye medication that she had him on is not keeping the pressure stablized. He has gone through a slew of eye drops since his first diagnosis. I pray that my son will not go blind from this dreadful eye disease. I pray that the surgery will be successful and his ocular pressure will be stablized and not go up any further. The technical term for what he and I have is progressive advanced open angle Glaucoma.

Oh, Suzie, that is horrible, terrible news. I could not, as a parent myself, bear to here something like that.

I don't know what to say, other than to offer my most sincere and humble prayer that your son retains his sight. I know you must feel powerless to do anything,

but I trust that the doctors will do everything they possibly can.

My heart goes out to you. You and he will be in my thoughts.

Keep your hopes up, Suzie. Good things happen to good people, and you're good people.

HUGS

Suzie,

Sweetheart you know that your big sis is praying for you and your son.

I know all about glaucoma but mine is held in check with eye drops alone while my mother's did damage before detected and had required multiple surgeries but she has not suffered any more sight loss.

Hopefully the surgery will do the trick.

Love ya,

Sally

Thank you everyone for your support and prayers. I have learned that he has lost some vision in his left eye, how much we do not know until he has his visual field test on the 18th of Feb. At this date we will know more about when the surgery will be scheduled.

Hugs,

Suzie

I will continue to pray for his sight. Hopefully he has only lost minimal sight and the surgery can save what he has left.

Love,

Sarah F

Thank you Sarah. I'm hoping the same and will find out on the 18th of this month, which is coming up shortly.

Hugs,

Suzie

      Good morning All. Coffees on.

      By Mmindy · Posted

      Good luck on selling your wife on the idea of a different car. This could be tougher than negotiating with a dealership.   My wife agreed to my taking profit out of the company to buy a used truck once we found out the 2014 F-250 I currently had with 267,244 miles on it was needing new torque converter solenoids and the DEF system is chocking up. We bought a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 3500, Duramax 4X4, with 163,000 miles. LTZ Off Road package, power mirrors, chrome step boards, rear camera, exhaust brake, and air lift bags on the rear suspension. It belonged to a friend of mine who also owned a mobile training business.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      What Are the Key Findings of the NHS "Cass" Review of Youth Gender Care?

      At the other end and in our favor is Julia Serano's analysis of the Cass Report Fiasco   https://juliaserano.medium.com/the-cass-review-wpath-files-and-the-perpetual-debate-over-gender-affirming-care-8f56d0c4d0c6   Serano is a Trans Woman and a molecular biologist herself, guess whose evaluation I honor.

      That's great @MaeBe hopefully the company will offer your wife a moving package with the new job position. That's how I was transferred from the St. Louis Metro area to the Indianapolis Metro area. The company covered all the moving expenses, as well as a three week stay in an extended living hotel while we chose an area to build our current home.   Good Luck and make it a happy adventure.   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      @Birdie is the day care in charge of your MyChart, Hospital, and Doctors as to how you are cared for? There has to be some way to prove that you were born intersex and have a choice on your chosen pronouns. I wish we could do more for you. Keep pushing forward.   Hugs,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Appeals Court: State Health Ins Plans (Medicaid) Must Cover Trans Care

      The Republicans are not interested in compromising.  Johnson will be gone for compromising unless the Dems help him out.

      Appeals Court: State Health Ins Plans (Medicaid) Must Cover Trans Care

      By Abigail Genevieve · Posted

      Biden campaigned as the master negotiator, able to push legislation through Congress.   Whatever bill a Dem president, a Dem Senate, and a Rep House can agree on might be  more palatable than a bill with a R president, R Senate and R House given present attitudes. They are throwing away a chance.

      A bill like this would never get through congress, even if it were allowed to be voted on.

      Are VPNs banned?

      By Avra · Posted

      Ha, that's funny - I swear this is the one I used to use in high school to get around school blockers and play games. 😅🤦‍♀️   Though I'd be wary of using a free VPN today, if your only intent is bypassing censorship, I guess it works. Proton VPN also has a free tier with a limited selection of countries/servers. I feel more comfortable recommending them as they actively try to fight censorship with new evolving VPN protocols, and they protect your privacy. They are also directly funded by their paying customers. So there is really no downside to using their free tier over another free VPN that may not have the same goals/values.

      That sounds pretty accurate. I'm just glad I don't use Windows anymore, as I basically consider Windows itself a virus/malware. Backups can absolutely save you from some types of malware like ransomware. However it's ideal to just not get infected by having smart browsing habits. It's been said, and very accurately so, that the best antivirus is you - even the best antivirus isn't 100% accurate in detecting bad stuff, if you go out looking for that stuff or browse carelessly.   I guess if you don't care and/or don't have sensitive data on your PC, then that's fine I suppose. I personally care a lot - personal accounts, private messages, and even my very presence on this site aren't necessarily things I want to be public knowledge. 🤓🫠

      Once again the Biden admin ignores Congress and issues a regulation that can be quickly changed. It would be much wiser if they worked a bill through Congress that became law.
