First they took a cataract off and put a new lens in then pealedt the Epiretinal Membrane off and put a stitch in. The patch will come off tomorrow and I have an appointment in 3 weeks time. I have 3 different eye drops to put in 4 times a day. I do not have to posture my head in any way. Graham. Glad to hear that things went smoothly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However they are an invasive species. From Florida Fish and Wildlife: Green iguanas are not protected in Florida except by anti-cruelty laws and can be humanely killed on private property year-round with landowner permission. The FWC encourages removal of green iguanas from private properties by landowners. Members of the public may also remove and kill iguanas from 25 Commission-managed public lands without a license or permit under Executive Order 20-17. Captured iguanas cannot be relocated and released at other locations in Florida. If you are not capable of safely removing iguanas from your property, please seek assistance from a professional nuisance wildlife trapper. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATG Posted February 3, 2021 #7008 Share Posted February 3, 2021 I’m a happy camper today. SC just lowered the vaccine eligibility age to 65. So Monday morning I will start trying to get an appointment. I feel like it’s at least a step towards normalcy. If I can get an appointment, I know that about 6 weeks after that I’ll have some protection. No traveling or anything, but definitely a relief. Many of my neighbors (who are over 70) said they felt like a weight off their shoulders. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Your reply left me wondering what's the meaning of "humanely killed".... After getting endless hits re: cows and pigs, I've found this: In a letter Friday to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, PETA .... “If the commission insists on the slaughter of green iguanas and pythons by largely inexperienced and untrained members of the public, it has an ethical duty to inform them of the unique physiology of reptiles that requires immediate destruction of the brain in order to avoid prolonged survival and suffering,” PETA said in its letter. For this reason only I'm glad I don't live in Florida.... Edited February 3, 2021 by dani negreanu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, many unknowns -- we're not yet "out of the woods". Very sophisticated virus 😢😢😢 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An invasive species can do a lot of damage to a native population since a lot of times the native animals do not have protection from the invasive species. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mo&fran Posted February 3, 2021 #7013 Share Posted February 3, 2021 (edited) Actually , I have never seen an iguana. I have lived here from 1976 to 1999. and since 2014. Although, I don't think they were here last century. WE have pigs too, but they stay in the swamp, at least down here.

Coralc Posted February 4, 2021 #7020 Share Posted February 4, 2021 (edited) I don't think I could kill an iguana. They are too neat looking. Pythons, feral hogs yes; but not iguanas or Myna birds. What is funny, is that invasive species were a large part of my career in the agriculture dept., but we mostly dealt with invasive insects and plant species, not something you are likely to get attached to. The animals were Fish & Wildlife's problem. Edited February 4, 2021 by Coralc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parrotfeathers Posted February 4, 2021 #7021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 I had my first vaccination on Monday. I was so apprehensive. I barely felt the stick and my upper arm was barely sensitive for 8 hours or so. For my regular flu shot last September or whenever I got it, my arm actually hurt pretty badly for 2 days. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you had a restful night and little discomfort. And you don't have to "look down" for a period of time, like some ophthalmologists demand.... All those different eye drops are annoying, but it's for a good "cause" 😁 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
