I just had a two hour long retinal examination, and I do not have macular degeneration! Yippee! I've got Central Serous Chorioretinopathy! Oh happy day! All I have to do is give up coffee, reduce the stress in my life, and it might not get worse!

:bugeye:

Give up coffee?

 
Biology news on Phys.org
So does this mean putting bigger pieces of sodium in water?

Give up coffee, and reduce stress...at the same time?! Is that even possible? :bugeye:
I don't know. Has it ever been done before?

I know I can count on my 3 darling children to reduce stress. And of course, luckily, teaching high school is well known to be an unstressful job. And what the heck, how hard can it be to quit coffee? It's not like it's heroin, right.

Yeah, but is your arm getting tired? :biggrin:

Congratulations on not having macular degeneration. My mother in law has that. She has a hard time seeing.

Excuse me while I go get some paper towels for my monitor.

I don't understand the "give up coffee". Did he mean caffeine? There are a lot of products that have more caffeine than coffee.

I'm sure that's what he meant, just some of us get most of our caffeine from coffee.

:smile: Winter vacation isn't that far away. :rolleyes: You better warn your students that you're quitting the caffeine so they understand the need to tiptoe around you for a while. :bugeye:

oh, wow - that's a long time to stay bent over just to find out about degeneration of your mackin', but yay! :biggrin:

I didn't notice that...

Oh man, I'm laughing so hard now:smile: :smile: :smile:

That might help.

How IS your scalp, BTW?

Just fine, not even noticible anymore. Is there a science club meeting after school today?

As moose said, "Good Luck!"

As Artman alluded, exercise is a good way to reduce stress, including activities with one's spouse.

Meditation is also useful.

Sorry Chi. Don't stress.
 
Maybe looking into the Vandegraaff Generator wasn't the best idea afterall...

Steve, are you one of Chi Meson's students? Your posts here sound like you might be.
 
Changed for reasons...

Uh oh! Does that mean we have to watch what we say now so we don't warp your view of your teacher? :biggrin: Steve, I hope you and your class realize how lucky you are to have such a great teacher who really cares about the success of you students. Take it easy on him while he's suffering through caffeine withdrawal. :smile:
 
I am lucky, he's a great teacher, but i don't think i give him a hard time. At least i hope not. Mad Chi Meson is not a good sight.
