prolonged patience

My struggle for clear vision continues to mystify not only me but the optical people who are trying to help. I am on my third pair of glasses and continue to struggle with the correction and fit. I have the right prescription however the size and shape of the lens within the frame that will sharpen both near and far acuity has been more than challenging. I am optimistic about the most recent visit where I was assisted by a smart young woman who picked out the right frames for my correction and will hopefully fit my face without causing pressure on my noggin! Sadly, the fun frames do not suit my Rx. So if there is a fun part of wearing glasses that too eludes my grasp. At this point, anything will be better that the chipped pair I've been wearing since January!

I'll be wearing some squarish, dull brown glasses next time you see me. sigh.

Perhaps I need a new pair of shoes in a super fun color to cheer me up!

And did you know there are improved lens for glasses that are new to the U.S. but have been in use in Europe for years? They are very expensive now--they said around $700--but in a few years will be more affordable. sigh, sigh.

On a happier note, I enjoyed the finale of ER last night. I especially liked the bride and mother-in-law scene! We had a little Mexican fiesta buffet for dinner and the tamales steamed in the oven turned out great!

Before you speak, ask yourself: Is is kind, is it necessary, is it true, does it improve on the silence?


take care!
