verbatim: I Can See! (Well, Sort of...)

Yesterday on the way home from New Hampshire, I called in to see if we had any messages at home. There was a message from someone at Dr. Chang's office, saying that my new lenses were in and I could pick them up anytime before 4:00. We were well on our way to make it there by 3:30 at the latest—until we hit a huge backup on the highway and came to a dead stop. We got off at the nearest exit that we recognized and took back roads all the way. I called just before 4:00 to say that we were almost there, so they waited for me. Otherwise I would have had to wait until Monday morning!

The new lenses are probably the best ones I've had all summer (not saying much, I know), but they're still not quite right. At least I can see pretty well, and the headache is not as bad as with the others. (Such a glowing report!) After I get the go-ahead from Dr. Hung next Wednesday (I hope), I plan to go see Dr. Chang to get a new glasses prescription, so I'll see whether he can do any further fine-tuning to the contacts prescription. If this is as good as it gets, I ain't happy.

So today I went out and bought some funky rainbow reading glasses (1.25 magnification). They give me a wee headache too, but not as bad as the 1.50 I tried in the store, which were way too strong. I think they must take some getting used to.

This is as good an opportunity as any to mention how much fun we've been having with the Photo Booth feature of the MacBook Pro! Such as:

That shape is in style now, I've seen lots people wearing them. I used to have a pair of HUGE octogon shaped ones. Whew and I paid good money for those things lol . If they work for you, that's good. Thinking I so need to get my contacts re-done soon too. Cool effect picture.
