I'm taking a note here 4 years ago

Yesterday I noticed for the first time ever a difficutly focusing on something close to me. I’m 37 years old. Will I be needing bifocals soon!!!!!?
Mark the date..November 19, 2005 at 10am…had trouble seeing something within 10 inches of my face.

I’ve always been good at taking note of my present situation. For instance I remember when I was 14 years old, I would wake up sore and tired and think to myself, “you know this must be what it’s like being old and arthritic.”
So many people automatically assume that if you are young you are full of energy and with not a care in the world. I got through those days by just living my life and doing what I had to do.
I hope that one day when I do wake up sore and tired I’ll remember that it’s not the first time and it’s not the last.
Then I’ll get through each day by doing what I have to do.



Why shouldn't I? 4 years ago

I’ve lost so many contacts that if you put them one on top of the other they would resemble a clear pen
I’ve gotten so much crap trapped under my contact lenses that I’ve actually had people think I was on drugs because my eyes were so red.
With glasses…..forget it….I could go on and on.
I’m hearing good things about the surgery. I’m doing it!!
