I'm hoping to go - see you there. No idea what I will wear - depends what I can find on the floor in the morning without my lenses................

Rosemary I haven't been "around" much lately as too much "stuff" going on in my life, and so I have just read this post string from start to finish - and have laughed, cried and despaired for you. Can't offer anything constructive - other than to say I am amazed that you have com...

Hi Timtim Don't think I'd want to be in your shoes at the moment! It's no easy call. I actually haven't got KC (although they thought I had originally)- I've got something else. I have had 3 opinions on my problem now and the one thing that they have all said is "don't have laser treatment"...

Oh you do have my sympathy Sweet! I broke my big toe at the end of August and boy did it HURT! Not wishing to worry you but I still get twinges now! How did you do yours? Mine was a result of trying to be clever and missing the step whilst still having loads of dilating drops in my eyes following a ...
