Jerry is looking into getting lasik.  I guess they said they could correct his vision to 20/20 and 20/15, which is awesome.  He’s going to inquire if they think there’s anything they can do for my eyes, but I will NOT get my hopes up.  Maybe my right eye could be "fixed" and that would be good, considering I’m at a point where I wonder how much longer I’m going to be able to drive.  My left eye is 20/100.  I have great peripheral vision, but I cannot read with that eye.  I can see things, but long distance, things just blur into each other…well, heck even at short distances, left eye only things blur together to where I can’t read them at all.  I can do a trick to where I look around a letter, and I can eventually see what it is, but it takes a good long while.  I have failed eyesight tests at the DMV.  I personally don’t think their test is anywhere near a real world assessment of how we see while we drive, but whatever.  I’m a pretty safe driver.  We just bought a new to us 12 passenger Ford Club Wagon.  It’s a 95, so it’s before the E-series.  We actually have a van that seats 10, but it’s having issues, so we’d like to get rid of it.  We’re also looking into getting a car we can use for when there’s just a few of us who need to go somewhere. 

I’ve been working on this post for most of the day, lol, and this is all I’ve gotten written.  We just spent an hour and a half on the phone ordering service from Comcast, which we will have on Sunday, whoo.  I like Comcast, their On Demand is the best.  We did NOT get HBO, but if they’re late on Sunday, I’m TOTALLY getting HBO.  Jerry just asked me if I wanted to go to Target, and I am ALL up for that, so I guess I will get out of here.
