My eyes

I went back to the eye doctor today and they told me once again that my vision would get better and that in the years to come I'll be thankful I had the surgery.  I shouldn't have  ..... but I finally told them today that I wished I'd never had the surgery.  He told me not to worry that it even took their main doctor 8 months before his eyes blended (I wanted to ask why they didn't share that with me before).  If it's really going to get better .... I can wait ... it's just after 5 months of blurry vision I'm done with waiting!!

For those of you that didn't know .... right after Chase's surgery I needed a pick me up.  At the time I didn't know I had thyroid cancer ..... I just thought I was feeling blue.  So, I convinced Dave that it would be an investment and I would be so happy ...if I could get vision correction surgery. 

So, the night after surgery I could see GREAT!   But the next day ...not so much.  Funny thing is I can see far away now ..... which is good ...I needed glasses for that five months ago.  But my problem is my computer is totally blurry and I do mean totally.  I can see my iPad .... but to read a book I have to keep moving it ...and if I look up from my iPad to look at the TV ....not good!!  Last week I got the new iPhone 4S (I called it my iPhone 4Steve) and I spent about 20 minutes fixing the settings ...and after that I couldn't read the clock on the microwave or DVR for about 40 minutes ...... truth be told ...everything was blurry.

The good news is ... I can buy really cute sunglasses for the first time of my life and I love it!! My whole family (Chase, Brooke & Dave) say I look like a bug or a Dragonfly .... my glasses are so big. I always laugh and tell them I don't care I love them!!!  Plus my sister Kim said they look cool and she's way more fashionable than any of them :)   

The not so good news ..... dry eyes are common with Thyroid cancer/issues ......so I really need to keep using those eye drops & Restasis.  I'll be happy to do so ...as long as some day in the near future it improves.

See ya!
