Yesss, I kept the appointment

I have now kind-of-successfully completed #78: Go to the eye doctor for a check-up. I say "kind-of" successfully, because let's face it--I'm probably not the most-liked patient there. I get so freaked out by anything that has to do with the eyes. It took the guy 4 tries to do the puff thing in my eye for me to actually keep my eye open while he did it! It really wasn't that bad, but just the thought of it is making my eyes hurt again!

But I made it through. They even put the drops in to dilate (sp?) my eyes. I hate eye drops too. So that wasn't fun. But I'm alive.

And now here's the verdict: I need glasses again, but just for things like reading the board in class, and driving, etc. Stuff like that. Not for every day life, which is good. My left is is perfectly fine, and will need no prescription at all. But my right eye is the one that brings everything down, I guess.

I didn't pick out any glasses yet. I need to bring Josh with me for that. We'll probably go sometime in the next few weeks. I'm in no hurry to go back to that place.

It's amazing...I can see!

I found my old glasses today. I haven't worn them in probably about 6 or 7 years or so. I got them around the time of my freshman or sophomore year in college. I wore them for a while, but eventually stopped. The thing is that I don't remember them making that much of a difference. Well, I put them on today for fun, and OH MY GOSH. Everything was soooo much more clear! It was crazy. I don't remember that happening when I first got them. Maybe this means my eyes have gotten worse in the last 6 or 7 years. I'm not sure if I've even been to the eye doctor since I first got the glasses. Eye doctors scare me. I hate eyes and anything to do with the eyes, so I tend to stay away. But now, I suppose I'm going to have to go back. Which would complete #78: Go to the eye doctor again. I was secretly hoping that was going to be one item I didn't complete. But it was amazing how much clearer everything was with the glasses. I can't go back to normal now. I just need cooler frames. I think mine are a little outdated. That's what Josh says anyway.

Here is me without glasses (I feel this picture makes my face look kind of blotchy--it's not really like that!)


And here's me with the glasses.


I'm thinking of getting some glasses with the wider frames when I get some. Let me know what you think.
