New glasses
I've been complaining—to my students and on this blog—about still not being 100% since the accident, with the problem being concentration, especially reading concentration. Finally C suggested that perhaps what I needed was new glasses.
So hmm, I thought, and I moved up my annual opthamology appointment by a month. Saw the opthamologist on Tuesday, and yep, I need new glasses. No permanent damage from the accident, though I had blurry vision for several weeks. But something (the accident, I'm a-thinkin) kind of accellerated the vision degeneration that will eventuate in cataract surgery and that right now means I need trifocals.
Saw the optician today, who fitted me for the new glasses that I'll get next week, and she cautions me that the change in prescription will take some getting used to. Bring it on, sez I: I'd a lot rather have the shock of the right prescription than the strain of the wrong one.
Future blogging will be coming from today's symposium. But after a day of opticians, symposium, commuting, and entertaining five dinner guests—and a blood sugar crash resulting from Dieting Whilst Diabetic—I'm packing it in for the night.
