I can't believe it....

By the way, I'm going to stick with the humidifier for a few more weeks and see if it helps anything because I think there's something to the dry eyes theory. My skin has needed moisturizer constantly every day, my throat is dry and sore, and last night when I got home, I was just about to start the shower when my nose started pouring blood. Sometimes I get nosebleeds from dryness. I think we should invest in a quiet humidifier for the bedroom and maybe use the loud one on the main floor. Hopefully it will help a little.

I hope the humidifier helps. You have certainly dealt with this long enough! An eye doctor can check the moisture in your eyes. Did they ever do that on you? You'll know if they did because they stick little paper tabs in your eye........it feels really weird!!

[Lindsey]

Lol nope they've never done that to my eyes!

We used the humidifier again last night and again, our eyes weren't scratchy feeling and sore when we woke up, but still quite red.

Oh Lindsey my condolences on your grandpa, even if you weren't close I'm sure you felt the lose.

I'm glad the humidifier it's helping

Thank you. It didn't bother me much until the funeral when all the memories came back of him before his Alzheimers. He was almost completely opposite from my grandpa who was always fun-loving and joking around and very kid-friendly... but he kept my grandma company and would call her "dear" and was always willing to be involved in whatever our family was doing, whether it was my dad and uncle taking him hunting, golfing, or just playing cards with us. So I did get pretty sad, and I spent some time with my grandma last week, but I think she's doing okay.

I saw the specialist again last Wednesday and he told me my eyes are fine and I can wear contacts again. So I am. They don't hurt any more or any less with contacts in, so I guess it's okay. They are easy to take out at the end of the day so my eyes don't seem to be dried out, but they are still red. They actually cleared up last weekend when I was away from home, almost completely. The veins were still there but very very faint pink. Now that I've been at home all week, and back to work today, they're red again. I'm 90% sure it's an allergy to something.

Good detective work Lindsay!

I hope you find the source of the allergies fast! At least you know what you have now.

How is Layla, by the way? Is she scooting around on her wheels? Please kiss her for me.

[Lindsey]

I hope so too! My eyes hurt SOOOO bad this morning and were totally red again. We haven't used the humidifier for a few nights though. Scott's eyes are really red too still. It's just frustrating. But at least I'm wearing contacts again. I just feel prettier and it makes me feel like it's not SO bad lol.

Layla is doing fantastic! Every once in awhile she stands up I took some video of her walking around my parents' yard last weekend in her cart... I'll put them on YouTube when I get some time!

[judy]

I bet she is glad she can get around with her wheels!

Put the humidifier on!!!
