Today, I met the people who saved my life.

I’ve been tweeting about my cardiac arrest since I woke up in the ICU and re-downloaded twitter (@LGlaucomflecken deleted it for my own safety and concluded that if I could figure out how to get it back, I was safe to tweet again)
Now almost 3 months, hundreds of tweets and 1 electric bra later, I was finally able to meet the EMTs, firefighters, and call operators who responded that night and hear about their experience
I heard about how they had responded earlier that night to a house fire only to get called again a few hours later when my heart stopped beating.

I get asked about blue light blocking glasses more than anything else. It’s a topic I am deeply uninterested in, so here’s a thread about blue blocking (BB) glasses so that maybe I will never be asked about them again.
Advertisements for BB glasses focus on 3 selling pts:

#1 improve sleep: This is the only potential benefit. Blue light can screw up melatonin levels, so buying these to help you sleep is defensible, OR just don’t stare at your phone before bed. Lmao I’m kidding that’s impossible
#2 reduce eye strain: Ah yes, it’s blue light, a color found everywhere that’s causing strain, not the fact that we hold our devices 10 in from our faces for days nonstop. Take breaks. Blink a little. This will help with headaches/fatigue from eye strain way more than BB glasses.

Confiscated 2 bottles of poison today. Saving eyes, saving lives.
I guess it’s been a while since I’ve condemned visine since everybody is asking about it. Big oversight on my part, I apologize. Anyway, read this drgcomedy.com/pharmacy-eye-d…
This write up doesn’t include patanol or pataday, which are newly OTC allergy drops. Both work better than Zaditor but will cost you 20-30 bucks.
