Grandma--take care of those eyes

I'm sure if Kenley could speak she would tell me "Grandma take care of those eyes".

First smile actually captured with a camera....... I sure am looking forward to seeing more of these smiles in days to come!!!

And in that case, YES, I must take care of my eyes.

DRY EYES... have learned a lot in this past week.

Eye drops..... No two are alike! The doctors office gave me a number of samples. Told me which ones they recommended the most. (The ones they said they felt were the best).

I find that this is not always the correct ones for me. My sensitive eyes, turned redder, and itched more. At first I thought it was just because my eyes were so dry and they were probably just getting lubricated the way they should be. My blurred vision was better, but oh my they sure did hurt.

So, on my lunch hour the other day when I had a terrible head ache I headed to CVS to check my blood pressure and see if they had cheaper drops that just might work.

Since I didn't have a whole lot of moola in my pocket I choose the cheaper drops. They were actually less then $ 5.00 YAAAA.... The ones I had purchased at Walmart on Saturday were over $ 10.00 a bottle.

Results--- The Systane Lubricant Eye drops which are to be long lasting relief Soothing comfort dry eye therapy are not for me... LONG LASTING? I didn't call every hour long lasting at all. I now have a full bottle (unopened) that is of no use to me. Plus the one that I have opened and tried to use.

So far since I started using the CVS brand Dry eye relief eye drops (Lubricant eye drops) my eyes are beginning to feel better. I am sure it will take time to get them lubricated the way they should be. I would rather do drops then do the surgery at this time. As sensitive as my eyes are I am skeptical about doing the surgery.

SO Kenley, Yes, Grandma is trying to take care of those eyes so she can see your pretty smiles.

Am also keeping close watch on my BP
That noon it was 135/90 a bit high for me, and yes I had a hugh head ache.
Later in the afternoon it came back down to 118/82.
After sleeping over 8 hours that night I started feeling better, and felt more like myself.

Why oh why did my BP go up like that?
That question remains unanswered.
