9 am, out the door, and off to the Spokane Eye Center—had a very fast rush into filling out paperwork, answering tons of questions: no fool I, I brought my previous meds with me so that was one set of blanks. Then we wait 30 minutes for the doc, who runs the...

So’s you won’t worry. I’ve stopped all antibiotic. The Simulasan is providing relief those two don’t and I’m suspicious of them…Tobamycin being a mycin COULD be closer to Neomycin than is safe for me… But the redness persists....

We miss having all the kids—back in the day, I used to give away a whole grocery bag of candy, but that was in a quiet neighborhood. Here we’re on an arterial on one side, with 4-5 houses between us and another arterial, and kids who don’t live in...
