Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Some sad and some good news

Today was a first for me both personally and as a nurse.

A few weeks ago my routine diabetic eye screening showed a bleed and fluid in my right eye.

Today I had my first treatment an injection into the right eye 🎯
Never seen it done in 15+ years in nursing and obviously never had it done before. I suppose it was pay back for all the injections etc I have done to others.
No adverse affects just another 4 to have over the next 4 months or so

Thanks to be honest it was painless apart from a bit of stinging in the sunlight from the eye drops (bit like when you come out of the swimming pool from chlorine).

57.5 Degrees of Pain
As a student the only thing I could not watch was an eye operation. After very many years of dentisting I can cope with most medical stuff but anything to do with eyes gives me the creeps.

Thanks for giving us good news Nick.

Sorry for your loss nsc. A vibrant colleague of my age just died suddenly.

On the plus side I just had a couple of drinks over Skype with a friend 20 years my senior. A Covid era habit we have continued every few weeks.
