071005 - On 060512 Doctor Rita Hannum found borderline near sightedness, which
071006 - does not require treatment nor glasses.  Glacouma test was also
071007 - negative, ref SDS 45 6D3F, except the doctor discovered the optic
071008 - nerve is indented, and so she decided to perform an additional test
071009 - for glacouma.  This test was performed on 060926 and was negative.

071013 - Over the past 3 weeks, the left eye has been swollen and blood shot,
071014 - more so than usual.  Sometimes, it hurts to look at bright light,
071015 - e.g., a computer screen.  There is varying impact on work; for periods
071016 - of the day, there is minimal effect.  At times, it can be painful to

071025 - similar symptoms, and were treated with medication.  There was an
071026 - understanding this condition is contagious.  Millie's daughter, Pam,
071027 - also got the same thing from her husband and son.  We had one short
071028 - visit with Pam and her family a few days after New Year's.  This visit
071029 - may have resulted in getting the same infection.
071031 -  ..
071032 - There may be something of an epidemic occuring, so possibly there is a
071033 - common remedy available over-the-counter.

071036 - A nurse at the UCSF cancer center saw the eye during Millie's chemo
071037 - treatment last week on 070215.  She indicated having had similar
071038 - symptoms about a month earlier, and advised it took about 4 weeks to
071039 - clear.  She had an eye examination, and was given medication of some
071040 - kind.
