Glaucoma

There's a minute circular drain around your eyeball.  It takes away all the rubbish from the day, with the help of some clear fluid that comes from your blood stream.  One of mine is not draining well enough, and that increases the pressure in your eyeball... and that is the start of glaucoma!     However this is not about the choice of great treatments available, or thinking about my mother who was blind for the last few years of her life with glaucoma.     This is about trying to imagine how many thousands of small drain holes in my whole body are not working well enough!!  And the daunting thought of how to find and fix them as quickly as they do with eyes!

July... how did we get to July so quickly.    It surely has something to do with working just three days and having four days off... four glorious days to do things I've not always been able to do. I was in Tamworth and Gunnedah a few weeks back, Wollongong and Lake Illawarra a week or two back, and Bribie Island, Brisbane and Dalby last weekend!   Lots of kms to see family, friends, and customers.   I drove 600 kms last weekend alone.    Nothing like a drive through beautiful countryside where memories of earlier days just come flooding back .. marching in the Carnival of Flowers Parade in Toowoomba, the Dalby Picnic Races, and the Wheatwood Picnic Races.  And the best part is always coming back to good friends at home.   Birthday lunches at Boathouse are fast becoming the tradition... Great food, crisp champagne, and an armload of flowers to take home... and of course the charming Andrew!!
