The eyes that see



I had to go to the eye doctor this week. I thought I had a scratch on my eye and wanted to get it taken care of before the craziness of training starts in August. Upon leaving my visit I have been restricted to my glasses for two weeks. My contacts apparently are not fitting my eyes correctly causing them to suffocate my cornia's and not allow them to breath. My cornia's were so inflamed the doctor had to put dye into my eye to see them. So I get to go back to the eye doctor in two weeks to get re-fitted for new contacts. I know some of you will understand more then others about these "joys" of having eye problems. I know things could be a lot worse....but if you have 20/20 vision you should thank God tonight before you go to sleep. Needless to say I am not overjoyed about wearing my glasses but am thankful I went in and it can be corrected with out me hurting my eyes any longer.

Oh I know how it feels - well not the pain. I hate having vision to the point where everyone looks like a mystical blob floating around without contacts or glasses. I'm waiting for the day when I might be able to afford to get Lasik eye surgery and be "normal". But in the mean time, I will deal with my ultra thick lenses that I recently tried to disguise with new frames.

20/20, all my life, never had a problem (just wait now I will loose an eye in some bizzare obscure way)
