A friend of the family is going through the same thing.<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br /><br />Thank you, and I was just wondering about your friend...is the treatment helping any, or is is the type the shots don&#39;t help?  My Mother is at the point she is getting shots in her eye and it is supposed to be saving what sight she has but so far this year she has lost a tremendous amount of sight.  I guess she would had been blind without the shots.  It is very frustrating.<br /><!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br /><br /><br />Unfortunately, the shots did not help and she has lost vision in her left eye. It is very sad indeed.<br /><!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br /><br />Hello everyone.. Gary here from Los Angeles.  My two favoirte things in the world are the entertainment industry, cruising and cruise ships.  You can sometimes find me down at the port of Los Angeles, walking the new Promenade, built to resemble the deck of a ship.  I enjoy the nautical atmosphere, and waving goodbye to the ships leaving port.  For those of you in southern CA, check it out.  It&#39;s great fun&#33;  Makes you want to book a cruise ASAP.   As for the show-biz side to me.. I recently attended a Diana Ross concert at the Hollywood Bowl, Debbie Reynolds in concert,and a screening of a 70mm print of Walt Disney&#39;s Sleeping Beauty.  It&#39;s about to be re-released on DVD in a collectors edition.  Lenoard Maltin hosted the evening.  This evening was held at the Acadamy of Motion pictures..(oscars)  they host many wonderful events like this, and they are open to the public.  I attended a discussion with Olivia deHaviland two years ago, honoring Olivia on her 90 birthday.. she is a gracious, energetic, quick and overall AMAZING woman.  She did not look or act a day over 60.  It was truly an honor to be in the presence of a cast member from Gone with The Wind.  So as you can see it&#39;s a lot of fun living here with all these great events to attend.  Please feel free to contact me, espcially if you live in southern CA.. thanks.. Gary
