I'd like to know how the identity of such busts are made and by whom?

Have there been any written ancient records in regards to treatment of these conditions? Tapeworm - ugh. I have two outside cats that I treat regularly for tapeworm, as they are mousers and hunters of other small creatures. And consumers of them. I can't imagine having this ailment, so disgusting.

I have never heard or read of the Zoroastrian practice. Very interesting. However, native American peoples practiced this type of burial in that they placed bodies atop wooden platforms exposed to the elements. Prompts me to do some reading on the subject.

Yeah, I've also been diagnosed with dry MD (mac.degeneration), moderate case for now. My former eye doctor first noticed it and we discussed PreserVision, an eye vitamin that is touted to slow down, not cure, MD and stave off wet MD. I brought it up because my elderly aunt takes that for her wet MD. My eye doctor said the med has proven to only help by a small percentage, he said I could take it or not - up to me. My new eye doctor, the surgeon who's doing my surgeries, handed me a trial box at my very first visit with him. I questioned him about its usefulness, and he seemed a bit peeved. Said 30% is better than nothing. The med is expensive and OTC, pretty sure Medicare won't cover it. I'm still debating, but will probably be worried if I'm wrong in not taking it.

ETA: I was not under anesthesia, they give you just a bit to calm you down, you are awake during the procedure.

Yes, feeling fine. Surgery on Monday, follow-up appt. on Tuesday and okayed to drive (but I waited until yesterday). Still using eye drops four times a day and the clear plastic patch over eye overnight - can stop patch as of tomorrow but I may continue one more day. Have a habit of wanting to rub my eye! Thanks for concern and the above history info. P.S. unlike all my friends who have had the procedure and said they "felt nothing" during - I felt some stinging towards the end despite numerous numbing liquid applied by surgeon. Can't imagine no anesthetic at all. ugh.

Had cataract surgery yesterday, right eye (left eye on March 31st). Ever since I scheduled the surgery I think of reading somewhere that cataract surgery was actually performed in ancient times (Roman?). Did I make that up or is it true? If true, imagine no numbing of the eye before, during or after removal of the cataract. yikes.

Also shadows of a circle design on the inside? I too am impressed with workmanship.

Very much appreciate and enjoy your postings, altho I don't reply often I read every day. Looking forward to more Roman facts and videos, etc. in 2026.🥳

Oh my! Well, things finally got resolved for me.

Ignore, having issues with other forums this morning i.e. not able to bring up pages, post etc. Thanks.
