I gotta go under the knife in a couple of years. A Pterygium has grown over the years and steadily creeping towards the pupil
I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

My brother had to get pterygium surgery. I think my brother had to stay inside in the dark with sunnies on for at least two weeks. And the eye drops they prescribe post-surgery sting to high heaven apparently

Yes I can't say I am looking forward to it

I don't know about those specific eyedrops, but after my near miss with being blinded in one eye, after getting my cornea melted off with searing hot corrosives, despite goggles, being hit hard enough to knock them out of the way, they included things like an antimuscarinic, has the same effect as the poisons from deadly nightshade (Belladonna) plants, and causes the pupil to dilate hugely, and paralyzes the muscles which cause the eye to accommodate with distance, so the cornea could heal without the size changes in my pupil interfering, those stung like a bitch, and with the increased flood of light into the huge pupils, that HURT. I was ALREADY so photosensitive after that that I could only look at a computer screen if I took to the one in the windowless electronics room in the machine shop we have in the garden shed, wearing super-dark welding goggles, or a barely-visible trace of light through a full-face welding shield, and for maybe 15 minutes at a time, before the light from the screen that got through the dark green glass in the welding mask still hurt to fuck. And that was with using local anaesthetic eye drops too, to dull the pain, along with 2x40mg oxycodone IR, given as 10mg caps so I could space it out through the day as needed. I still have the script too, they never cancelled it, which is a relief, because I was barely coping with my hip and knee pain with the pain meds I did have, and the docs were being stingy, but couldn't really say 'no' after that happened with my eye, as, well, it isn't like ANYONE would or could fake burning their cornea off with alkali caustic corrosive superheated blasts to the face just to get a few pain pills. And having to wear a welding set over an eyepatch to block out all light just to go to the doctor, I think that might have put things into perspective for them somehow.

But yeah some of those eye drops could almost be aspiring to take over from that lab slops bottle for burning eyes potential. I was on maybe 6-7 different kinds of eye drops and creams and gels and sprays prescribed, plus an additional two kinds of local anaesthetic that lasted longer than the tetracaine drops prescribed for that, that I lifted a few vials of from the eye hospital for emergencies where I HAD to function for longer than a few minutes in near lightless conditions, plus a welding mask over my face to cut out almost all light left by a dim computer screen in a windowless room with the lights off. Managed to help myself to quite a bit of IIRC proxymethacaine, which lasts quite a lot longer than the tetracaine they gave me. Not something I'd usually do, but I only took just enough to be functional when I had to, and of course, left them easily enough for them to do their work on other patients in need.

Things like the repeated eye specialist slit-lamp examinations were agony, and they NEEDED heavy anaesthesia applied to the eye, to have a super-bright torch shined from point blank range into my eye through a focusing lens, while my eyeball was regrowing its surface. 'Tender' isn't even close to what my eye was then. That bright light had me clawing at the chair as if I was trying to claw my way
out of hell itself, my fists turning white.

Al, when the time comes for the knife man, if you need any...pain assistance, in the sense of keeping it at bay, PM me, I know a reliable guy for that kind of thing :heisenberg:

Do you still have AV Syndrome? I do - the V - but I've noticed the my left eye is gradually moving outwards at the bottom of the V.

My chiropractor asked questions about it, like why don't I see an ophthalmologist. Well I would but I need a certain thing called money. I really hope to get a job by the end of the year, that way I can get this sort of stuff sorted out.

I hope your eye infection goes away quickly, odeon.

The AV syndrome is practically gone. :)

The eye infection is better, thanks.

And of course, if you want, I'll do cheap rates for my own work too.

Only proviso, is I don't make fentanyl or its relatives. Too dangerous and I don't want to be responsible for that filth turning up on the streets, and even less, to my friends.

But opioid chem, its a house specialty, you might say :heisenberg:

WAT!! I thought these tyres were supposed to be rated 300-AA-A, instead they're 240-A-A.

Oh well, we'll wait for rain and see what sort of chaos they cause :autism:

Chartered accountants post-grad program.

Nevermind I have appealed. They think I didn't do a required uni subject but I got an exemption from that subject due to prior studies at TAFE.

Ah, the rules and fine print. That had to be a dissapointment.  They'll straighten it out soon.
