| Haven't been here in yonks ~ thought I might clear up any confusion.
Heard from more than one person that they thought my site was a pure
medical nerdette one so they stopped reading lol. don't blame 'em!! 
so... in big and bold writing...
i've moved to ¤ blogger ¤ and it's a proper blog!! 
life stuff, not med stuff ~ the med
blog's always going to be a project in progress and i doubt i'll ever
get past telling you about the anatomy of the eye. anyway..
cya at blogger!

| what a short rediscovery...

| Flavor of the Day: Opthalmology
Well, guess i should start with the anatomy of the eye as an intro.
© University of Pennsylvania Health System
Parts of the Eye
Gross Anatomy
¤ Cornea - transparent, anterior tough outer coat of the eye
¤ Sclera - opaque, posterior part of the outer coat. site of extraocular mm attachments. optic nerve leaves through cribriform plate.
¤ Limbus - junction between the sclera and the cornea.
¤ Ciliary Body - contains smooth ciliary mm (contracts to change lens shape and enable focusing). provides attachment for the iris. epithelium secretes aqueous humor and maintains ocular pressure.
» Note the visual axis and how light falls directly on the fovea, not the optic disc/nerv (which is located medially). | | |
| blog fever
i set up another blog at blogspot just because flickr allows direct uploads/blogging of pics from there to blogspot. they haven't added xanga yet 
i like this xanga site cuz of how the page looks and cuz of the ease of uploading. it's type, click and poof! i also like the name better.. sounds less mundane, less common. the only reason i'm reluctant to dump the blogspot site is of the ridiculous amount of time i spent tinkering with the header graphic and figuring out how to configure their templates. grr. at least i know how css works now.. kinda ~
anyway, to solve the dilemma of which one to use.. i've decided that mebbe i should keep this xanga one for med related rants while the blogspot one should be reserved for friends and whatever social life i have (or don't have) because it'd be easier to upload pix from flickr to there. yay, the best of both worlds

| rediscovery
rediscovered my xanga site... haven't been back in more than a year and i've totally forgotten about it! ack. the welcome msg dates from o4.o5.2oo3 ~ eeks
it's amazing how much tastes and styles change over just a short span of a year! i was appalled by the whole page before i changed the header and the color schemes... what WAS i thinking?!
well.. may be coming back here more often :) | | |
