We pick up his meds and turn to go and a man who was also waiting asks me "Why isn't he in school?" I was surprised and just answered "pink eye" and left . . . but the more I thought about it the madder I got . . . What's it to ya?? Mind yer own business!! Why aren't you at work?? . . .

Re:

So this morning, shortly after I discovered that Smack had pink eye and called him in sick (he missed a field trip) and called meselph in sick (boss wasn't too happy but she's a mom, she understands) and made an appt wif the ped doc, Smack's eye started looking a little better!! :o:o So I sez to him I sez "That eye better start getting red again or I'm gonna start poking you in the eye!!" . . . :lol::lol: . . . You'll be happy to know that my threat worked. I had to do NO poking and it was still quite obvious to the doc that he had pink eye . . . . wheeewww.

Also, since we were there and sans Skeeter, I bribed him to get his flu shot. Some may remember that I had started a thread maybe 6 months ago about taking him to a therapist about his medical phobias . . . then again, you may not . . . anywho, he has been working wif a therapist to help. And it did. It was still a little rough but overall probably the best experience in several years. No screaming, hysteria, and we didn't have to hold him down. (FYI, he's not allowed to have the flu mist because of his asthma tendancies). What a relief to have it over.

Speaking of a relief to have it over . . . just got back from voting. Was an hour and 10 minute wait. Hubby was suppose to travel today and voted by mail last week. Think I'll try that next time!!!

Glad you didn't have to smack the Smack. Also glad his shot went well. :D Hope his eyes go back to blue (or green or brown- just NOT pink.) Uhm...have you seen Knocked Up? Do you know where pink eye comes from?

This is absolutely PHANTASTIC. Not that you all had to wait so long, Janet, but this: These long lines suggest huge voter turnout - - everyone is talking about the massive voting numbers down there. I am very, very ashamed to report that a mere 59% of the voting population in Canada exercised this vital right in our last federal election a couple of weeks ago. Over a third of our population did NOT VOTE!!! :o:o

The American sense of duty, of raw patriotism, is truly admirable.

Sooozie, get outta dat sick bed and perform your civic duty!! ;):P

Too bad you cannot phone in yer vote. .. ...or register it online. ....... ...

...Mygawd....so this is how the dreaded conjunctivitis is transmitted . . .. ..I've always wondered - - fecal bacteria delivered into the eye socket...... ..

I should have queried my ophthamologist about this yesterday.

"So, I hear that farting into someone's eye, directly or indirectly, can result in pinkeye".....

:huh::lol:

Shouldn't they be putting up posters in schools?

      Being a burden to family/friends

      By cristiana · Posted

      I must admit I've been on both sides.  Before my diagnosis, and in my ignorance, I thought all the special diets we see around us today were unnecessary and people were making a big fuss over nothing.  There is a shop in the small town where I live that sells organic and gluten free food and I used to see people walking in and buying things and thought they were being a bit ridiculous spending extra money on what I thought was a fad.  Yet since my diagnosis that shop has been a real lifesaver.  I guess It is hard for people to see the necessity of all this extra effort if they haven't experienced celiac disease personally, or observed the way gluten affects someone they love.  Honestly, I have wondered at times if I would have been as understanding had my husband been diagnosed with coeliac disease instead of me. He has been great.   It must be incredibly difficult if your close friends and family aren't supporting you.  I have read some awful stories from coeliacs where friends and families have not just been unsupportive, but go out of their way to continue serving up gluten.   In such extreme cases, where harm is actually being done, serious thought needs to be taken about removing oneself from harm's way.  That all said, I find that the world is now so full of people struggling with autoimmune illnesses now, allergies and intolerances, that people are definitely becoming more attuned to things.    Word is getting out there. In 2022 a long-running popular TV series in the UK, Doc Martin, ended with a final case: a patient being diagnosed with coeliac disease.  I don't know if anyone saw it but I was so heartened by that episode, that celiac disease was given centre stage for the last ever programme. The patient in question had been suffering from a horrible rash which turned out to be dermatitis herpetiformis. He also had anemia, felt faint and was plain exhausted.  It would have been good education to anyone watching who didn't know about the disease and they would have been left in no doubt about its seriousness and the need to follow a strict gluten-free diet.  I thought to myself as it ended, well, now, that's another piece in our campaign to make coeliac disease better understood!

      Being a burden to family/friends

      By CatS · Posted

      I understand your frustration about socializing while having celiac disease. I also have allergies to nuts, dairy, all forms of gluten including oats, strawberries and MSG. I get anxiety while grocery shopping and really take my time to read all labels. I always carry a magnifying glass with me wherever I go to read labels. Many products are labelled Gluten Free but contain Oats, and apparently this is becoming more common. I almost bought some gluten free flour but read that it contained oats. A certain percentage of Celiacs have this complication. I can’t help feeling offended and excluded when others act like I am being “high maintenance”. I am becoming better at being an advocate for myself.  I have had diverticulitis 3 times and each time hospitalized-once, the attending nurse didn’t know what celiac means-she had to research...  If others around me make comments I try to enlighten them, those who don’t get it are not my friends anymore. Be very careful about cross-contamination. I was sick recently for 10 days after a meal was contaminated while I was on holiday. If servers say they have gluten free buns or bread, ask if they use a toaster specifically reserved for gluten-free, or don’t chance it. On a positive note, I didn’t find out I had Celiac Disease until I was 60. Eating a gluten free diet means no more terrible headaches, hives, rashes, intestinal bloating and irregularity, Gastro Intestinal Reflux….when I follow a strict diet and mostly always eat at home, I feel great! I also weeded out “friends” who weren’t worth being around.
