Before my surgery, I had horizontal double vision when I relaxed my eyes, but most of the time I managed to keep the images together. I also had a small amount of vertical … Continue reading →

My computer seemed to be continuously trying to connect to the net. If I managed to get connected it was only a short time before I was disconnected again. After switching cables around to confirm it was not a bad cable, I purchased a new router. My connection is better than ever now. The little flashing icon reminded me of my eyes...
