I caught pink eye when I was a student. It happened during a terrible run of emotion filled days and was the final straw for me....I lay down on my bed and started crying. Of course, I had my head turned to the side so that the pink eye eye was above and a tear dripped over the bridge of my nose and infected the other eye so I spent the next week gooped up in both eyes. The good news is that I survived it just fine....all of it. ____________________________________ <em>Oof.  I get it a lot!  It's just an excuse to buy new mascara.  I treat both eyes whenever I get it, per instruction.  See, I do pay attention sometimes! ~W</em> Very cool pillow!

No doubt you caught it at the post office (of course now that you're celeb mom there, they probably disinfected the joint prior to your arrival). Love, love, love the pillow! That vintage fab is beautiful! ___________________________________ <em>It's clearing up--I'm prone to infection in my eyes because I don't make tears very well.  ACK.  Anyhow, nothing eye drops won't cure and keep away, truthfully.  I just hate interfacing with my Drs. office.   And I have more pillows planned...

I take 150 and my levels are low. I leave them that way because I am too hyper when they are "normal". At any rate, I find that I do lose weight when I eat right and exercise. I think with TSH, normal probably varies quite a bit from person to person. That nurse. I know you are so glad she is no longer there. That could have been dangerous. _____________________________________ <em>Yeah, I'm pleased.  This new nurse is on top of things... and I think she had some idea by the end of how frustrated I was with the whole thing.  So far, I'm happy with how it's working out, considering! ~W</em> I love the pillow!
