When your eyes hurt and you have headaches there may be a good reason

It’s Tuesday again and today brought more drama with my vision. Last week I posted about zits, freckles and blackheads and being able to distinquish the difference. I don’t think I was thankful enough. Today I had like my zilloneth (is that a number?) headache and my eyes have just been feeling so very tired. Of course this could be because I spend untold hours on the computer and when I’m not on the computer I’m reading, but I decided to make a trip to my eye doctor buddy and get my glasses checked. Something just didn’t seem right.

I drove to the doctor office and handed a nice lady my glasses and told her I wasn’t sure what was wrong but something was up. “Maybe my vision has gotten worse,” I said. “I just got these in June and I can’t figure out why my head hurts and my eyes are so tired all the time.”

She took my glasses, disappeared and came back laughing. “The doctor says you are way to tolerant. These glasses are no where near your prescription. Why did you wait so long to bring them back?”

I wanted to say, “Because I know I’m crazy and I figured you guys had it together so I assumed it was me and not you that messed up.” But I didn’t. I just asked her if she would tell my husband that I was way too tolerant because he doesn’t always think that I am. She laughed and said have him call me.

So my glasses are being shipped back to where ever they send them to get new lenses and in the meantime…..

The only pair of glasses I have that I can see out of are an old pair that only have one temple piece. When I wear them they stay cockeyed on my face and I really look like a crazy lady, but hey, a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do. (and yes I still have the zit from last week on my nose but it is better).

So this week I am being very, very, thankful for my vision, for my glasses, and for my eye doctor. Being able to see is really a wonderful blessing.

This past weekend I went four wheeling with my son (which is as close to being a Wild Hog as I will ever get) and I was able to see this….

and this…..

And tomorrow when my granddaughter comes to visit I will be able to see her sweet, sweet face.

And she’ll say, “Nana, why are your glasses on sideways?”

And I will laugh and say, “It makes it easier to look at you sideways, my dear!”
