I just had my eyes checked at the eye doc, a thorough exam, I have never had one of those. I was there for two hours, they took pictures of the inside of my eye balls and everything.
My eyes are not too bad. I thought he would say I had a big disease but I don’t. I am happy about that news.
Then, I got some new glasses, they are reddish pink and very girlie. I never wear my glasses anyway, but these are cute and different. I got something called “progressive lenses”. I can see just fine far and near, but the doc said I could wear these if I want.Honestly, I have not had my eyes checked since…. 2001 and it was at some hokey place at the local mall.
Back then, I took the Rx to this optician and they made me the glasses a long time ago, well 2001. I brought those glasses with me today and they were in perfect shape because I never wore them.
I know I am a terrible patient but really, my eyes are not that bad.They put some drops in my eyes and I feel like crap, like my whole head feels tight, and my eyes feel gloppy.
I think I will do some baking now, then Bliz and I will go for a walk, so I can try out my new shoozI hope everyone is having a delightful day before Thanksgiving. Bliz is playing Christmas jazzy myoozik, it is quite pleasant and ….
yuck, do these eye drops make you physically ill or is this just me??
I am just glad I am not blind. Love always, moi
Thou hast given so much to me,
Give one thing more,
- a grateful heart;
Not thankful when it pleaseth me,
As if Thy blessings had spare days,
But such a heart
whose pulse may be Thy praise.

Girl, you are lucky you can get by without yours. I even have a pair I sleep in!
I didn’t like the drops they put in my eyes last time. I felt lucky to have Kandi with me to drive me home.
Happy Thanksgiving, Rosemartini!
I’m so glad your eyeballs check out fine! That’s a good feeling, isn’t it?
Congrats on the good eye exam.
Wearing glasses only makes your eyes more dependent on them..weaker…so unless you’re really having problems, put off wearing them as long as you can.
Those are very smart turkeys in the cartoon!
Don’t feel bad – dad is an optometrist and I *still* only get my eyes checked like once a decade.
Glad you don’t have a big eyeball disease. Happy Thanksgiving!
I did that! Had glasses but didn’t need them. …until last year. Now I have to wear them to see. That’s pretty good for a 59 year old.
Yes, goopy eye stuff is not fun.
I am so glad you blogged about your eyes….I’ve been taking meds for mine and I forgot to take them this morning! lol Thanks for reminding me!
Glad your eyes are well. Scary/good thing about eyeball docs is they can tell a lot about a person’s health. So not only are your eyes ok, you’re ok.
Hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving!
Hi Rosemary, long time no talk. Glad to “see” you are doing well. That eye stuff didn’t make me feel too good either but it went away in a few hours. I’m wishing you and all your loved ones a very Happy Thanksgiving!!
You know when doctors touch our eyes , it always make a shock . I remember when I had laser . Not so good ! But the good news is your eyes are good and you have a good sight ( even progressive !!!
)
I am glad Elizabeth is there with you both . Tell her hello for me . Sometimes she comes on my site , you know . I am pleased with this .
I wish to you and you all a happy Thanksgiving , Rosemary
Love
Michel
I’m very happy you don’t have a horrible eye disease – you are too morbid! If I didn’t wear corrective lenses I’d be dead because I wouldn’t have been able to avoid being hit by a car or something equally bad!
Have a happy Thanksgiving with your loved ones!
RYC: I will never think of you as a bad Xanga friend! You are one of my best and always will be!
