Thanks Cap, she was nearly totally blind in that eye but is on thinners and has regained some of her sight but is seen as a high risk.
She also has a bad cholesterol problem and is intermittent with her medication which is on her but the specialist advice was wait
and see what improvements in the vaccines can be made and they will revisit that advice.
Loves her footy and is a big Saints supporter so she hasnt had much to cheer about of late....

Is your MIL on statins?

People who contract COVID-19 are also 100 times more likely to experience cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) than the general population, a new pre-print Oxford University study has found.
 
The research, conducted in the wake of numerous high-profile clotting cases linked to people who had received the AstraZeneca vaccine, found around 39 in one million people with COVID are diagnosed with CVT, compared with 0.4 per million people who had not contracted the disease.
 
CVT was also found to be more common among people who received either the Pfizer, Moderna or AstraZeneca COVID vaccines – at a rate of between 4–5 per million – meaning people with coronavirus are between 8–10 times more likely to develop the blood clots than those who have been vaccinated against it.
 
‘There are concerns about possible associations between vaccines and CVT, causing governments and regulators to restrict the use of certain vaccines. Yet, one key question remained unknown: “What is the risk of CVT following a diagnosis of COVID-19?”,’ co-lead author Professor Paul Harrison said.
 
‘We’ve reached two important conclusions. Firstly, COVID-19 markedly increases the risk of CVT, adding to the list of blood clotting problems this infection causes.
 
‘Secondly, the COVID-19 risk is higher than seen with the current vaccines, even for those under 30; something that should be taken into account when considering the balances between risks and benefits for vaccination.’

My father wrapped his Valiant around a pole (Drivers side) in Brunswick Rd Brunswick just after I was born in 1967. If he was wearing a seatbelt he wouldn't have survived (they found him on the passenger side part of the bench seat). Never stopped him wearing one when it became compulsory.

Glad your dad got out of the accident okay... must have been really travelling to wrap a Valiant around a pole, they were one solid piece of machinery.

Through the 60s us kids were either Ford or Holden... not Baggers, I was a Valiant kid, especially the Valiant S. I convinced dad and mum to get a Valiant Regal in '69. Ripper car. Sorry, I digress...

Pouring rain, turning a corner, probably too quick and spun. The curse of the Valiant light rear end is what he blamed  

He's right, they were notoriously light in the rear.

Gee another long lost memory.  My brother had a push button auto.  AP5?

The AP5 was the last model with the push button auto. I bought mine in '64.  I still remember that lovely slant 6 motor.

Unfortunately, Cooper Ratten is an example of someone who would have benefitted from wearing a seatbelt. A cop who was part of the crew investigating that crash told me it took them some time to find Cooper as he was thrown well clear of the car in long grass. He reckoned if he'd worn a seat belt, he would have lived.
