Hi Lynn – I hope 1997 will be better too. I agree this BB has been great when I can use it. My eyes are watering so much and really hurt when I use it. Sunglasses help! As you are Canadian I am wondering if you work and had to take time off. I have not been able to go in. I will see the Dr. this week and will ask some questions. Does our government help us that can’t see??? I doubt it. I think I will be starting radiation treatments. Have you had them and did they help?? Take care. SAS
