Eyes DMEK Check-up

Back home after eye appointment-
Left the IRIS clinic in Glen Iris and homeward bound back down the M1 – I was driving :-)
Yep… drove there and back, eye doc very happy all good and now I (we) can have a one month break next app 25th Oct – Yay
6 – 8 weeks for full recovery and fingers crossed we don’t have any donor rejection issues.

Eyes – Manningham Re-bubble

This morning the world around me looks better – and brighter.
Last Wednesday I had to have a re-bubble at Manningham Private Hospital because the donor graft had detached at the bottom of the cornea. This time around she (my eye doc) used air instead of gas and the results are much more encouraging. Under specific subdued daytime lighting conditions I can actually see the air bubble and it wobbles like jelly.
At night when I trigger a motion sensor night light the left eyeball lights up like Luna Park. What i see is a engolated spider web with the centre circle midpoint between middle and bottom of eye, brightly illuminated by the incoming light refracting off the bubble surface and again off the air particles. Crikey… it’s like a religious event wave the hands and chant.

Google TV Streamer

I have been using Amazon hardware for a while now; Firesticks, Echo Show and lately the Cube. The Amazon devices are great for streaming and even doing the home automation thing with Alexa but.. Google prevents the Fire Cube accessing PlayStore!

For example I purchased FX File Explorer which is not available on the (useless) Amazon app store, side loading gets you nowhere because I can’t upgrade to the paid version and the same for other purchased apps so that’s the main reason I am purchasing the Google TV Streamer to replace the Fire Cube in the lounge. Fortunately all the devices I have purchased are both Amazon and Google compatible.
