I'm just going to get this out because it has been eating away at me for most of the day. I have been having some eye problems (double vision) for the past couple of days, I called my eye doctor because it is not normal for me and they had me come in immediately. After a myriad of tests, my doctor gently broke the news to me that my eyes are lazy.
I gasped and said "How dare you!" Just teasing. She said they are lazy when I am focusing on things up close. She prescribed B...B..Bifocals for me. I instantly teared up. I have had problems with my eyes for the past 5 years or so that have had me getting brain scans, I have borderline glaucoma, all things of that nature. I should not be surprised in the least that I need bifocals. But I am.
My 34th birthday is coming up and I don't want to get bifocals but alas, I sulked into Target tonight and picked out a cute pair of square fuchsia glasses which will be my 'bifocals' and a second dark purple ones which will be my 'readers'. I still need to maintain some bit of my dignity by at least trying to look my age and not jump into wearing the powder blue leisure suits (yet).
I am grateful that nothing more serious was diagnosed or found, and I am thankful for the vision I have. This just came out of left field, and I needed to get it off my chest.
Thanks for reading.

Ooooh Heather, I am sorry about your eye sight:( I am grateful though that you can still see!!!
As far as getting old, I have a catch in my get along that Ben-Gay ain't helpin. You remember that I was diagnosed a few months ago for my right ear, it is in need of a hearing aid....LMAO!!! When he said that I just stared at him!!
It's rough becoming middle aged, we are all falling apart!!
Thanks Nik, I do remember your hearing aid diagnosis! Aren't a bit too young for this stuff?!
I just had to have a day of pouting, I'm going to try & embrace my bifocals. I pray that by the time I'm 40 I won't need dentures. Lord help me.
Get the progressives. They don't have the line and no one is the wiser. I have been wearing them for years. I only need them for reading but it makes it much easier when I have to look up. I don't constantly have to take my glasses off.
ah girl, it's cool. I've been wearing glasses for fifteen years. Thirty four aint that bad. You'll look cute!!
Xoxo
I know...I've had glasses since I was 12. It'll be fine, I'm going to rock the new ones. I'll post pictures once I get them. Thanks for the love and encouraging words!!
