Old Collingwood Posted July 23 Author Share #2761 Posted July 23 Morning all - bit of better news (if you can call it that) attest I am slowly getting the hand of the on screen keyboard and usiing other techniques for typing like using the "Highlight" then delete button if I spell something wrong, its tedious and long winded but works, and with the screen I just don't look at the bottom. Now the bad news - the other evening while walking into our kitchen I decided to have a full face down fall onto our tiled floor via hitting our upright fridge - freezer and side unit also brought some shelving vegetable racks down with me, I landed on my knees and hands - missed my head, I ended up bruising my side with saw rib region and more pain to my already damaged knee (from a previous fall) and saw hands from taking the weight. Yep fun days lol. OC.

Old Collingwood Posted Sunday at 01:39 AM Author Share #2772 Posted Sunday at 01:39 AM Hi folks, before you think "yippy an update" no such luck for now, I have picked up a strange eye condition, that led me last evening to call the out of hours medical people for advice, For the last week (When it started) I am getting a kaleidoscope type anomaly happing in my vision even with my eyes closed, they last for a few minutes than shrink in size before vanishing - its happened to me about Four times now with a gap of a few days when I was fine. My vision needs glasses but I have not had me eyes tested in a while. The phone call I did - I was asked many questions to narrow down the cause - and they cut out anything needing hospital action - but advised me to see and optician for an eye test. It doesn't rain - it pours with my model building lol. OC.

Make sure you go to a good one, the first one I went to missed my Eyelid cancer it was only later that a different optician refered me to the hospital eye clinic. If the first one had been on the ball I may not have had to have my eye lid removed ! Hope it goes well Tim Egilman, king derelict, Jack12477 and 4 others 2 5 Quote Current Builds : Cutter "Speedy" 1828 from Plans by Bill Shoulders at 148 Bounty Launch - Scratch build - FINISHED 85 ft.

Craigie65 Posted Sunday at 03:32 PM Share #2775 Posted Sunday at 03:32 PM OC, I had something like that. The specialist called it a migraine without headache, and often happens to gentlemen of a certain maturity👨🏼🦳. Fortunately only had it 2 or three times, it was a bit disorientating when it happened. It was a few years ago but I think the specialist said it was not serious and could be controlled through medication. Hopefully that is the same outcome for you and you can get back to your miniatures. king derelict, Canute, Egilman and 4 others 7 Quote Cheers Craig Current Build HMS Indefatigable Erycina - Vanguard Models Finished: HM Bomb Vessel Granado - Caldercraft, HMS Pegasus - Victory models, Nisha - Vanguard Models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Collingwood Posted yesterday at 07:12 PM Author Share #2776 Posted yesterday at 07:12 PM Thank you all for the kind replies - I have not been on while having tests on my vision - I am suffering from ocular migraines caused by eye strain from the wrong glasses and too much computer usage, I have got a new glass prescription to pick up next week for Two new sets of glasses, in the mean time - its less comp use and regular paracetamol.
