UK Keratoconus Self-Help and Support Association

Hi everyone,

{Silly wave} (like munch form 2 pints...)

I just wanted to say hi, and wanted to be centre of attention for a short moment!

I posted in the general, but want to chat with the rest off you off subject, so i'm making myself known.

You can ingore me, or reply its up to you!!!!

Dan

...so what do you want to talk about, Dan?

You may start talking about one thing, but we rapidly loose the plot and talk about anyold rubbish

Surely not! We always stick to the subject don't we?
Its just thinking outside the box and the key to that is to have a very small box!

I've noticed that often you run into some may sub-discussions they often warrent thier own threads!!!

i've really just wanted to say hello informally to everyone and get to meet people.

To be honset i think KC is a bit if a bum deal and we all could do better without it, so just to get to know others experiencing it informally makes us all feel better knowing there's people out there in the same boat.

Anyway ((stands up)) I'm dan, i work as a nurse, and I'm an alcoholic....... wait wrong support group..... I have KC, newly diagnosed. I've suddenly decided to become a druid (they have a really cool way of life) i have a small allotment and love to grow food and bake. I listen to every kind of music going, and have a very laid back way of life.

Dan

Hi Dan,
I'm Matt as you probably know. I am married to Ginny, have one boy plus Newfoundland. I am a Navy Diver by trade. Love the outdoors also think laid back is the way to be!

Where possible we do split topics as moderators, howver soemtimes it is note easy as some annoying people have a last paragraph bringing things back on track

Any way you ahve seen my posts, have wife, daughter, two rough collies and three cars.

Frustrated racing driver as KC has meant I have had to retire for a third time

Twice down to KC

So glad I got extra qualifications so will stick to the day job as an R&D chemist

Hi Dan

My name is Brigid, and I live in Manchester. I was a primary school teacher, (Early years Specialist) but found this increasingly difficult to manage thirty small children and two very small contact lenses.

Now I work at the university with future teachers. They are not much easier to manage than the small children, but are more understanding about "bad eye days".

Recently, (July) I was prescribed with new contact lenses which are much bigger than I had before. They are great because they don't fall out, are easier to find when dropped, give me really excellent vision and are very comfortable once in. They are not great because they are difficult to get in, very difficult to get out and hurt like for the first hour or so after being put in. To the point that I have to sit in a darkened room with my eyes shut for the first thirty minutes.

Cheers
