I don't like. Sorry.
I thought I'd like the opportunity to show appreciation for well thought out and informative posts.
Instead, it appears to be an unnecessary distraction. I hope I am proven wrong.

Not a Doc, just someone with experience - to be safe she needs to see a ophthalmologist ASAP if she hasn’t already.

Sorry to hear. My wife experienced several years ago, mostly on her back and sides of the torso. We have both received the latest Shingrix vaccine. My doctor says this latest vaccine is very effective.

Perfect temperature on the beef.

I had the privilege of meeting and spending time with Franco Biondi Santi several times over the years. A sweet and modest man with such a sense of humor.
