Dilated



All dilated and feeling a bit off. Eyes are healthy, prescription a little less - which is a thing. Going for plain distance lenses, the progressives never worked well enough for the price. In fact, I'm sure my neck and shoulder pain are due to trying to use them on the computer screens at work, and crooking my neck funny. Mostly, I don't need glasses except to drive, when I'm walking to see across the street, and at work to watch the opposite side of the room. My glasses are off most of the time, at home and work. I have safety glasses, no Rx, when I scrub in, that work fine. Much cheaper this way as well.

The ophthalmologist was quick and bright, thanked me profusely for being on time, I liked him a lot.


Eleanor a bit slower today, but she's up in the laundry window. flask, our drying line...




Poor front legs shaved for the IVs. Not that she seems to mind.


Zeppo was gentle with her last evening. Checked on her, and left her alone when he decided to chase. Got up on the bed with me, had a vicious fight with his tail, not his fault, the tail attacked him. Clearly. Found a slipper in the middle of the living room, which was apparently involved in a later altercation. He's got a ton of energy, in a small dense package. Flopped between our heads at some point last night, to purr madly and get chin scritches.

woohoo!

also, i just went from progressives to either distance glasses or computer glasses. it turns out my eyesight has improved since the change.

and less neck pain!

my computer glasses aren't for close up work, but they make table companions and most desk distance work be in focus now.

flask,

I also asked about getting the cheap magnifiers, he recommended I get .5 or .75 if I needed to. My close vision is actually fine, as is what I need for the screen. The advantages of being short-sighted.

Gotta be some benefits aside from the money wasted on tampons. I feel very fragile these days.
