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.

    Disgraceful but only to be expected.

  • Hi ownedbystaffies that sounds awful for you. I have constant hot flushes and my glasses are forever sliding down my nose, so I do sympathise with your watery eyes. 

    I have thought about printing t-shirts. Especially since covid and I cough a lot because of my lung cancer, the looks you get when out in public. Here are some of my ideas.

    Its not covid, it’s just cancer. 

    Don't worry it’s cancer, you are not going to catch it.

    it’s the other C....you know the big one.

    Forgot to say ..... I will give you all the money ... 2/6, but I will want 98% of your company. For that you will get my undivided attention for one hour some time next year! Xxx

  • Sorry Norbs I’ve given it great thought, but I’m out Joy x

    You'll be sorry! X

  • Hi , I feel from your scatological humour ( or more commonly known as "toilet humour") that you are bearing a grudge for my stance on lawns. Wearing such badges would no fit with my sophisticated demeanour. So no non prize for you.

  • Hi

    What an odd side effect. Sounds like you would have looked like Bambi. Glad you didnt blind yourself.

  • Hi @chellisimo,

    Good ideas for tee shirts. And your side effects sound bad too. Hot flushes are horrible, I remember them well. Watery eyes are annoying but bearable, just have to constntly dab at my eyes like some Jane Austen heroine who is love lorn.I am keeping the tissue industry going.
