What happened ? this roup seems to be dissapearing ??? ; ( > What happened ? this roup seems to be dissapearing ??? ; ( > > -- Don't worry, these doldrums occur from time to time. The regulars are probably keeping an eye on things here, and if someone stops in with a question, there will likely be a few quick replies. Anyhow, if you're here, and I'm here, that's two! Hope you're enjoying summer's end.

If anyone has any glaucoma questions, comments, or wants to know about the weather in Central Florida, I'm pretty much available. So...that makes three of us! Rick Cohn, MD I check back here daily. Unfortunately I haven't been able to post recently. My ISP isn't pretty crummy and keep messing up. So Dr. Cohen, how is the weather in Central Florida? :-) Larry >>>What happened ? this roup seems to be dissapearing ??? ; ( >>> [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > of us! > Rick Cohn, MD >> > What happened ? this roup seems to be dissapearing ??? ; ( >> > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] >Rick Cohn, MD >. ..and I'm here in the UK (even though it is 02:46 at the moment !). Just checking the newsgroups after several hours without a connection thanks to my ISP. I watch this group as both my children (now age 27 & 29) contracted glaucoma as a complication of Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis. We first discovered it in my daughter's eyes in 1978, and in my son's about a year later. As you will all appreciate, it has been an ordeal for both of them, however, thanks to some expert medical treatment, courtesy of Mr James McAllister at Windsor hospital, they are both managing O.K. In fact my daughter can drive (using contacts as both her lenses developed cataracts), but my son lost the sight in his left eye, and only has restricted fields of vision in his right. It's good to see the shared experiences on this group, and thanks to Dr Cohn for all his postings. My best wishes to all of you who suffer from glaucoma. Paul How sad for you and your family , I was not aware that young people suffered from serious arithitis complications like glaucoma , though there are several in my family with rhermatiod arith ! > > > What happened ? this roup seems to be dissapearing ??? ; ( > > > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > of us! > Rick Cohn, MD I do have a glaucoma related question: Are there any issues about flying after having a tube implant? I got my tube in March and I am supposed to be flying longhaul in October.

[quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > I got my tube in March and I am supposed to be flying longhaul in October. > Thanks! It depends...are you flying the plane or just riding on it? Just kidding. No, there should be no problem flying. Just remember that if you're using drops, take them with you on your trip, but don't pack them in your luggage...it can get pretty hot in the baggage compartment of a plane. Carry them on board. Have a great trip. And, in answer to Larry's question, the weather here is great...sunny and 88 right now at 5PM (a little warmer than I like it, but it was 67 this morning). Of course with hurricane Isabel heading this way, we're all a little nervous. Take care all...glad to see people are still frequenting this group. --Rick Cohn, MD Glaucoma specialist Winter Park, FL We are finally having a reprieve from the stifling hot --a bit of fall in the air ; ) I am in Chattanooga , Tennessee . Thanks Don and all for replying --had me scared that the group had disappeared !! In my lung support group , each month we put up our name , a little something about ourselves , and our disease and meds list --it helps to understand the people in the group --we call this Roll Call . Also some in the group find sites that are real helpfull in answering questions . Sadly I don't know enough about glaucoma to help here. Lord I don't know the Questions yet !! and this is why I don't want this group to dissapear ! ; ) I'll reply to TNARTLADY too--I still look in rather frequently too! |
