Hi All,
One of the most annoying side effects of my current treatment is that my eyes fill with tears and then just fall in huge drops. It makes gardening and such like really hard, as I can't see a bloody thing so I could be uprooting a nice plant or a weed. I also have to keep telling people that I am not cryng, just have very watery eyes. I have joked that I should get a badge that says " I am not crying, just........" Now I am seeking ideas for what the "........ " should say. I thought of "am just sensitive" . All contributions accepted and a prize for the most original and humourous ( I lie - there is no prize).
Over to you, do your worst.
100% for effort. I have no idea who Ofer Galany is - so sorry, that badge wont work as no one except a few cognescenti will know what it means. But thanks for playing - have a non prize.
Sorry not strictly on topic but your post reminded me of a more unusual side effect that i had from treatment where my eyelashes wouldn't stop growing. They got really long and curly and in the end i had to trim them which let me tell you is not particularly easy or safe when you;re also extremely short sighted and can't see what you're doing!!
Thanks OBS, I am not humpy but you didn't list various caveats and criteria that had to be obeyed on your post.? No one will know who he is, that is stuff and nonsense, did anyone on here have an education, and you, a Guardian reader. Slightly disillusioned.
My Mum will be looking down at me proudly for being awarded a non prize.
Sorry about your eyes though, that must be a proper aggravation. A bit of botox to freeze everything maybe?
Game, set and match from where I'm sitting.
I'm not crying, I'm just getting used to the stronger suppositories.
