Even TiVo missed me

[susandennis]

I have two TiVos - one does mainly news and podcasts and overruns and the other one (with much more storage) does everything else. I turned on The Big Bang Theory on TiVo #2 and it did not have sound. ? I checked live TV and it didn't have any input feed... And none of the other recorded shows had sound. hmmmm. I rebooted. And then meanwhile flipped over to TiVo #1 which also - for a variety of reasons - had recorded The Big Band Theory and watched it.

Then I went back to TiVo #2 to suss how how bad the problem was. Sound was back on live TV. Sound was actually there now for all the recorded shows, except Big Bang Theory... weirdo. But fine.

I had my contact in when I got to Las Vegas but all the flashing lights and bright lights just made it hard to see so I took it out and never put it back in and saw things fine. Even menus. No glasses, no contacts. Wonderful!! Now that I'm home, I can tell such a difference. The computer is a little harder to read than it would be with the contact in, but it's readable. The TV is VERY much easier and clearer to see. This could bode badly for purchasing a new one! hmmmm

My brother says that he, too, has days when his eyes work better than others. I'm going to ride this no contact/no glases thing out as long as I can.

Got my eyes checked yesterday and they had improved. Doc said they will continue to improve as I get older. He actually felt bad saying that.

I wonder if it could be the pressure changes on the airplane affecting your lens or cornea. Cool!

I too have better and worse vision days. My last checkup was apparently one of the bad days -- the results were so bad that the ophthalmologist set me up with a cornea specialist (who didn't think my cornea problems were bad enough to warrant intervention), and when I looked at the prescription it was so different from what I was wearing that I went back to be rechecked -- with results much closer to my previous prescription.

This is all an overlong route to my eye doctor's proposed explanation, which is that abnormally high or low blood sugar can affect vision, so fluctuations in blood sugar can produce fluctuation in how well you see.

oh interesting!!! wonder which way it goes... if I can't see so well, should I have a Snickers or a green salad... hmmmmm

that sure does make sense.

Actually he said that either exceptionally high or exceptionally low blood sugar can result in decreased vision.
