Whoa

I got new glasses. I couldn't see. So many people smile at me and I don't see them so they think I'm rude cause I don't smile back. It's especially bad at night. I think half my evening yoga classes are goofy because I can't see my students. Which makes it hard to hear them. I dunno.

My prescription needed to be 3 times stronger than it was. The doctor said it could have been even more but my eyes would have had too much trouble adjusting to such a drastic change so he said I should stay with this for awhile then we can take it up. Can I just tell ya---this sucks. I HATE not being able to see. One of my favorite things in the world is reading. I read everything I can get my hands on, always have. I haven't been able to read a book all the way through for years because the eye strain is too bad. And the computer screen ugh.

So I just picked up my new glasses. Wow. Still not like my younger eyes but what an improvement. And Yikes! Where did those wrinkles come from? And not just on me.....and not just wrinkles. Now I have to try not to stare. It's just pretty shocking to see what I've been missing.

So now the next hurdle. I tested too high for the glaucoma thing. Which I figured was no big deal. Til my mom tells me it's running in our family. Errgh. I mean, how many boxes am I gonna have to check on the family history list? So now I have to go to a specialist. Ready for the irony?

The worst thing you can do if you have glaucoma?

Yep, yoga.

Isn't that a kick in the pants? Yoga is good for everything that ails ya--cept glaucoma. Something to do with the eye pressure when you turn your head upside down. Ai yi yi...

I'm sure it's nothing though. God would not be that much a practical joker. Would He?
