New sunglasses and drops
Was that 33 or 34. I get distracted trying to count the holes being punched in my eye by laser. A medical treatment (a capsulotomy) but still to me something very much from the annals of science fiction. They are doing what to your eye? I suppose it could be a scalpel with a fine knife. I’ve learned to remain calm and hold tight to the handles on the frame while the doctor does the thing. That is the other part. There is a name for the operation but I hardly ever have the chance to learn it before the operation is over. Something to look up later when I’m bored. Today things went well. A slight improvement. I have gone from vision that resembled pencil strokes to something a little sharper along the edges and for me that is a good thing. Our trip to town was in the rain going and coming. We also had a passenger coming home which changed the tone of the conversation. I could have stayed in town and gone shopping I suppose although I don’t do that much by choice. Not being able to see the price tags is really distracting for all involved. I also had to buy new sunglasses after I conveniently sat on the older pair. Not something I planned to do but stuff happens. I even have all the pieces so we can try to trade them in for a newer copy the next time we’re in the area. Meanwhile I will accept the newer pair and tell myself that they are more fashionable. Apparently the old pair made me look blind. How did I break them exactly? Well when we were getting in the car I folded them up and put them into a side pocket and then sat on that pocket. Could not have planned it better if I wanted to. And now I’m back home ready to try my newest round of eye drops. That’s the other part of seeing the doctor. New medications alloy think these ones will be for a shorter period of time. I have dripped a lot of drops in my eyes over 20 years. All of them remain without consequence in the end.
