Optometrists!! (Lynn and Ali) Welcome party!
Posted: Wed 15 Jun 2005 12:10 am
Ok have been kinda hiding for a little while around this as most here spotted lol! But i guess its really nice weather now so i can come out again hehe 
Lynn it is really nice to see you back, and i didn't even need to poke you that hard!! LOL!! I know that a lot of friends here are glad that you are back posting and will have questions no doubt! Maybe you need to write another poem?!! Dear patient part two?!! Hehe!
A big welcome here to Ali as well who i notice has replied to some posts here already! It is nice that we have two professionals now. This just has to be better for us in getting support i think!
I know enough has been said on posting about certain lenses and questioning if people here are 'promoting' products, but lets just take all the hassle out of this and just go back to as it was when i first came here! When we didn't worry about upsetting the balance and threatening our status as a charity. This is all important and it should be, as being a charity is how this site runs, but we also need to be able as patients to ask for help and get some support. As i know that this is what this site is for!!
So i guess that while optometrists here know that they can't talk all day about one certain lens, as patients i guess we need to think about this and do the same!! It wouldn't be fair to question you both on one particular lens either. And as we want to know more about this condition and the help available it wouldn't really support us much would it if we alll rode the same horse!!
Its just it is worrying to us as patients sometimes in trusting here, as while there is the charity thing, there is also the fact of would we be better off? If someone was promoting products here they would obviously benefit, but unless it was proven to be the next best thing after sliced bread and we just had to have it where does it leave us? Although this doesn't alter the fact that i think along with others here that we do need to be able to come here and openly share where we are with lenses. There are a lot of lenses that i didn't know about until i came here, and after reading what John just posted on sclerals others feel the same!
So just wanted to say welcome and that it's nice to have you both here. And i'm sure that friends here will want to say hi as well! Hehe I'm sure we're not really hiding and ignoring you!! ROFL!!! So we can have a welcome party and move on from here instead!! Hehe i love parties! LMAO!!
Ok where'd everyone go? Come out of hiding hehehe!! ... who brought the chocolate and drink?!!!!!! Haha anyone for a welsh cake??!!!
Hehehe ... friends i don't want to poke you!!! LOL!!
But i will do and then you will need to catch me!!!
