Eye Doctor

Yeah . Going to one. Using my leftover insurance for the least important thing. But hey, glasses are sexy and my prescription is almost 3 years old.

Never done this on my own. Ugh, I hate it when they puff air into your eyes.

I reasonably should fear eye doctors, cos they often led to crushing announcements like, "It’s time to have another surgery!" or, "You’ll be wearing this patch for 4 hours every day for 2 years!" But I’m mostly neutral, because they’re just so… COOL. And I get something at the end. Usually, a sexy new pair of glasses that make me want to wear a pencil skirt and hold a clipboard and sit on desks sexily. And I can see myself THAT MUCH BETTER with my new, non-blurry vision! Win-win!

Ugh but I really have to go now. I don’t want to be late. I need to be EARLY.

I WILL BE EARLY TO SOMETHING FOR THE SECOND TIME IN MY LIFE, DAMN IT.

There’s an alternative to the Puff now! First they put magical eye drops in that numb the shit out of your eyeballs. And they use this – it’s like… a roller ball pen thing that… rolls… onto your eye. It, too, is magical and takes measurements without making you feel like you’re standing in the middle of an air field. In fact – it feels pretty effing cool – ‘specially once the whole exam is done and you’re still sitting there with numb eyeballs. You can see everything, you just can’t feel it. Anyhow, I love that out of everything you’ve had to say in the last month, THIS is what I actually comment on. Cuz it’s, like, mas importante and stuff. Good thing I’m here, eh.

Yours For Now...

Oh the puffs aren’t that bad. I always jump like ten feet though and then have to like, reset for the next eye. ~I’ll be

Oh, hell, I should do the same thing. I’ve been putting it off for some time now. Huzzah on your being early!

I hope the eye doctor visit goes well! And thanks for your notes! I don’t know what the deal is about David. Like, sometimes, generally when I’m in a better frame of mind, it’s not such a big deal. He’s not on my mind all the time anymore. But then when I’m not in such a good place, suddenly it’s the end of the world again. I don’t know whether to trust it. And I like your writing for similar

cont’d: reasons! The stream-of-consciousness and introspection and such. I never really realized it was uncommon, but it’s not something you run across very often. Or not something I run across very often anyway.

I almost need a valium for pressure checks. I am completely phobic of eye doc since the retina specialist started to torture me twice a year at 750 dollars a pop. Oh god, I need a lie-down just talking about it. Hope it went okay for you.

where by ducks go …. my god, that is FAR worse. Are you a masochist or do you just have the largest pair of balls/ovaries in existence as on top of being fearless as hell?

Starhawk, the dilation drops can trigger an episode in folks with vasovagal (neurocardiogenic) syncope. I always get dizzy from fear that I will develop a fainting episode from the drops. Yes, I prefer the OBGYN to the eye doc. I’m phobic that way.
