Eye See You
Mar. 11th, 2005 06:35 amI survived my eye doctor's appointment yesterday. I didn't feel compelled to strangle any of the staff, for once- usually I get very stupid people who do all the silly little tests before I see the doctor. The kind of people who read my chart but don't, apparently, really read my chart, as they then go on to get my good and bad eyes confused, start at the bottom line of the eye chart, which I've never been able to read on my best day...
It's good for laughs, though. The biggest problem is trying not to burst out laughing while the person's in the room.
Anyway, no funny idiot stories from yesterday, which I'm fine with. They didn't even dialate me, which I'm also fine with. And, thank you Insurance Gods, I can get new glasses. If I can find a pair of frames I like. A lot of the frames they had were very ugly. I finally found a nice one, but it's purple, so they're ordering it in what we think is a goldish-brown (it's really hard to tell from the pictures) for me to have a look at.
And today is back to the doc's office day, to chat about my lab work. I'm not really looking forward to it, but while I'm there I'm going to have them check that my sinus infection is really all the way gone. I'm on my last day of antibiotics, but I still don't feel 100% yet, and it was a pretty bad one.
In other news, the Summer Preview weather continues. It's going to be 80 today. In March. They say we're going to get another cooldown, maybe some rain, before things warm up again, but I'm really hoping that cool-down lasts a while. It's too early for serious summer weather here- we never get much of a spring, just a couple days of weather like we have now, then it shoots up to the upper 90's.
Home sweet home.
Also, I get my art project back today. If she failed me I may have to smack her upside the head. Really.
Oh, and the final word from the eye doc's? 20/60 in the good eye, when I pushed it as far as I could on the eye chart. I tried really hard for the next line, but it wasn't happening. And for those of you keeping score, my eye pressures were within normal, so my days of being Glaucoma Woman are indeed over. (Yay!)
