Oh, Magoo!
January 14th, 2010You’ve Done it Again!
Last month I got a piece of aluminum swarf in my eye, and I went to see the eye doctor. Stupidly, I let him talk me into an old-age “comprehensive” eye exam, so that’s on my schedule today.
I get to confront my mortality by determining exactly how blind I’ve gotten over the last 20 years. I won’t complain. I am not nearsighted enough to need glasses for driving, and I’m not farsighted enough to be totally dependent on reading glasses. Things could be a lot worse.
On my last visit, the doctor said my vision was “fantastic,” which means other people my age must be in sad shape. I thank God I’m not in their shoes.
I hate going to the doctor, but I’m glad I get to go. Needing to go and not being able would be a whole lot worse.

I’m glad you are getting a complete eye exam. I am amazed that you don’t need glasses. The exam will let you know that everything is going ok, and that will be something to celebrate.

Know what you mean about getting to the doctor while you can. Before hubby’s insurance ran out Dec 31st as a result of his layoff, I saw my dentist, had a colonoscopy and several types of stress tests which were all fine and might decrease the need for them in the future. My bloodwork was even better than last year which proves stress affects health more than we’d like to to think. I am thankful to God for good health.
