What to Say

Over the past few days I can't seem to come up with anything to post here. I have so much to say and things I want to say but when I get here they don't seem like much. Perhaps sometimes I feel funny sometimes posting things for the "world" to read. Not that the world really comes here to read my ramblings, more like maybe 5 people? :-)

I went for my yearly eye exam the other day and it's still official, I CANT SEE........not that I was expecting a miraculous recovery or anything but I was happy that my vision hasn't changed from last year. That's progess baby! Every year my eyes seem to get worse and worse, guess it's just something in my genes. I am still at -10.5 in both eyes. For anyone out there that does not know what that means, it means I can't see 2 inches in front of my face if I'm not wearing contacts or glasses.

I did at one time inquire about the laser eye vision. I had myself so worked up and excited that after all these years, I would finally be able to not have to wear glasses or contacts. That when I opened my eyes in the morning, I would actually be able to see. Well I made an appointment because it's free to see if I or rather when I would be able to get it done. They did fancy scans and stuff and then they told me..........I did not qualify. I fought back the tears, I was soooooo devastated. I knew it was to good to be true.

The shape of the eye and how they do the laser didn't work. I guess your eye or cornea or something like that is more or less shaped like a cup, like this ) When they laser it they flatten the curve out to let more light? in.........well mine already looks like a flat line and I don't know what key on my keyboard to make that shape other than this turned sideways ____ So basically there is nothing to laser off.

I have heard good and bad about the laser surgery so I guess things happened the way they have for a reason. Not sure why but only God knows. I guess I should be happy that I can atleast still see and I have vision altho not that great, I still have it.

So if you see me driving down the road, get out of my way! :-)

Thank God for glasses and contacts right? Sorry you can't get the surgery. My husband can't get it either. He really can't see. I think he is a 11.5? That was a couple of years ago. His keeps getting worse. :(
