I know what you mean Anne. I will see what I feel like on Saturday. I will only try it for a couple of hours or less if necessary. When ever I  do it I have a feeling it will be like playing Russian roulette every time I take the lens out. I'll have to make sure  I put lots of drops in just before taking it out. 

That cream is strange stuff. It is designed to pull fluid out of the cornea (hence the sodium (salt))  made things a bit sore today.

Shame sorry Ian... there is a way through this all... it is just not a straight road, but at least there are all the people on this site to help along the way!!! although there are never any guarantees- my RH graft has literally changed my life for the better.... they need not be dreaded- they are often very successful...

Thanks everyone for your support. I agree Melissa the only way is up. My brother had a graft 20 years ago (he had KC to) and he says its the best thing he ever did. At the same time I appreciate that this is not always the case and I send positive vibes to all those going through a tough time.

It was a nice moonlit night last night so I took the opportunity to look at it without the lens in . I counted 36 moons arranged in the three over lapping circles of 12. I am going to try and it replicated in Photoshop over the weekend. :D :D
