@M.A.R. When I was having a recurrent pain in the eye with the transplanted cornea, my eye surgeon told me to dilute dexamethazone eye drops 10-fold with sterile saline solution and use them, in order not to affect my body too much.
Sadly, with kidneys one needs a stonger dose. Cornea is very forgiving in this regard.
Although I had several rejection reactions, and was even hospitalized once. My eye ceased to see, all was white. THen it cleared, after big doses of corticoids.
@FaheemMitha In Florida, about 60% of those eligible (age 12 and above) have been vaccinated. Reasons for resistance are many, but often include "you can't tell me what to do" bullshit, lack of reading competence, and grievous conspiracy-nut messaging making them think the disease is harmless and its vaccine harmful.
I must have confused it with some other visual problem.
> De afgelopen jaren is een implantlens ontwikkeld, waarmee het oog kan accommoderen (dichtbij scherpstellen). Hierdoor is de kans groot dat men na een staaroperatie geen bril meer voor veraf en dichtbij nodig heeft. Deze lens is inmiddels in verschillende Europese landen geïmplanteerd.
Look, they now have lenses that allow accommodation!
When the seasons are changing and the Canadian geese are flying through and hanging out en masses in freshly cut fields it looks so great and then the geese fly off and you think wow what a beautiful field is now available and you go to the field and close up you see that it was one big Canadian goose toilet.
At the moment I don't care. I know I'm going to have it and I hope it's something good, I haven't figured that out yet. But I'm ok with not knowing for just a little bit longer
@FaheemMitha nothing terrifying about the surgery itself. You black out for a couple of hours and then treated like a king for a month, albeit in a pretty shitty place. The walking on the eggshells after the transplant gets really tiring though
@Mitch at least these puns are illuminating about who makes them
@Cerberus routine checkups and lots of things can go wrong. Then you're wondering if something is wrong with you or if the transplant drugs are too effective, because their side effects mimic the very things that can go wrong
Say, they increase your potassium levels, and that's what the test result shows, and now you can't know if it's the drugs or you ate something that caused it or if it's something more serious
They make you prediabetic at the very least, then you're wondering if you need to go unreasonably green and whether that'd change anything.
Random parts of your body hurt. You don't know if it's the drugs that cause it or you're developing bone-related problems
I think the Sputnik vaccine only requires allegiance to Putin these days. It couldn't care less about workers of the world uniting and losing their chains.
Anti-Vaxxer: I refuse to get vaccinated because I don't want to be part of a giant medical expirement. Science: Those who don't get vaccinated are still part of the experiment. It's called the control group.

Alex Zverev won the Olympic gold for Germany in tennis. His parents are Russian; he was born in Hamburg. Speaks Russian, German, and English. He was once asked (in English) how he got the nickname Sasha, and replied, diplomatically and after a second of thought, “It’s a Russian word for Alexander.” He speaks English well except for using d for th some of the time. I imagine Germans are pleased? @RegDwight
