Macular Hemorrhage from Bungee Jumping

A 25-year-old woman with no clinically significant medical history and with normal coagulation and hematologic studies went bungee jumping from a vertical height of 150 ft (45.7 m). Immediately afterward, she noticed a substantial decrease in vision in her left eye, with a large central scotoma; no other symptoms were noted and there was no pain. On examination, the patient's right eye was found to have a normal disc and vessels (Panel A, arrowhead) and normal fovea and macula (Panel A, arrow). Examination of the left eye showed a normal disc and vessels (Panel B, arrowhead), but the foveal and macular architecture was obscured by a large macular hemorrhage just below the level of the internal limiting membrane (Panel B, arrow). Vision was 20/400 in the left eye when the patient used peripheral scanning and 20/20 in the right eye. The patient had a form of Valsalva retinopathy due to increased venous pressure in the upper body, brought about by sudden deceleration in the head-down position (such as occurs during bungee jumping). She underwent surgery with evacuation of the blood in the left eye. Visual acuity in the left eye 1 week later was 20/25 and has remained stable.

Not your home !!!!!

Have you ever felt that you are not the part of the family ? Ever cried thinking that no she cannot be my own. Because she disgusts me , she hates me . Then why am i here ? Do i run away or just stay here , living at a unknown house , thinking i have no future ? Thinking that what will i do if i run away ? Do i go to my relatives or do i just hang around day and night ?I have no answer even when m searching for the answer for years long ? Why do people have to live such a life, full of misery , anger , a huge pressure since the time you wake up. It's the time when you wish that you would never wake up after a good night's sleep.
You do so much and at last it's not enough.The expectation always is way above our mind.I can't understand what is it.Is it the love or simply the hatred.I want my chances to come. To take me to my way.My future.My destiny.

Who is the Father ?

My dog finally gave birth to 5 puppies after so much of waiting. haha. The vet had given the date a week back and we were desperately waiting for the puppies to pop out :D . Finally it did.But after the puppies are born we are very eagerly waiting for the doc again. Why ? Coz to know who the father is. Since my dog , Sofi , is a german shepard and is brownish n blackish.It has given birth to all black puppies and they are purely black.So who is the father ? But m glad she made it . :)

Nepal and My Luck !!!

Good Morning everyone!!! It's 8:11 am here at y place and i am minfront of my computer with a cup pf tea. Can u believe it the governent of nepal has increased the load shedding schedule. I mean what are we supposed to do in just 4 hrs time. No tv , no computer. Nepal is definitely going back to the dark ages.We had no light since yesterday nite 8 pm till today morning 8 am. Again i dont know what time it's gonna just go!!! They havent even put up the schedule.Besides m having a big headache about my exams. I have almost studied 85% of it still in the mornings i wake up with a fear. Damn when is it gonna be over. Everyone please give me your luck for those two days. :) ....

Weekends !!!

Firstly hoping all my blog friends especially Sara had a great weekend. Due to our country's heavy power cut i couldnt even come online. Anyways my weekend was better.
Saturday was great . Had planned for the movie , the one which got 8 awards i.e The Slumdog Millionaire. Well the movie was pretty cool.Me and my boyfriend snuggled close together even in the theatre ;). wouldn't miss a chance to be close to him . :)After the movie we went for a cup of a coffee and some talks. Then he dropeed me home. There's always a feeling of loneliness as soon as he drops me off. But then thinking that i will get to meet him on the next day brings a sense of relief.And not to mention there's a;ways a 1 hour talk in the phone before going to bed.:)

Funny thing :As soon as the movie ended they were giving the names of the actors. And my boyfren so innocently asked where was this character ( the character was a police officer and was there from the beginning of the movie till the end ).. I couldnt stop laughing when i looked at his face. He was trying to remember so hard.haha

Sunday too wasn't that bad. Finally we had our valentine's day shopping. I got him a pair of shoes of his choice and for me a red top. He insists that i buy more. Well now i guess i should ;). Only a top os not enough. Well planning to go another weekend as he has office the whole weekend and m not allowed to leave home late evenings. So i so wish the weekends would come soon.
