Losing my sight...or is it my mind?!

OH DEAR GOD...SAY IT AIN'T SO!!! They told me it would eventually happen, but NO I said...not to ME! My vision is too good...one doctor commented to me once that he wished all his patients had my sight! Alas Brothers and Sisters (especially the Sistas), I am officially becoming
(sigh) FAR SIGHTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! CRUSHED...CRUSHED I am.

I discovered this today...or perhaps I acknowledged it just today and actually really guessed a little while ago. Nevertheless, I realized things were blurry up close and personal...had to move them a distance away to bring them back into focus...then of course they were too far away to actually see the small details I was looking for. And reading....forget it! Blurry until I hit 9 inches...9 bloody inches I tell you...!!!! Yes, I actually measured so I can see just how rapidly I will continue to deteriorate. I am sooooo forlorn...I never thought this would happen...stupid I know! Everyone but the California Boy and I wear glasses....SHOOT! So...what to do now? Do I just buy some cheap reading glasses to keep the distance as is, or should I actually see an eye doctor, just in case??? HELP my contact-wearing Super Siblings!!!!
I always prided myself on my vision...even had nightmares about NOT being able to see in my dreams, and woke up sweating! I realize this is trivial in the big scope of "things" but I am not happy...even got a headache testing it out today...DUH!

Ok...Super Sib G, please tell Caroline I finally watched HAPPY FEET tonight, and loved it! Very well done if you all have not seen it yet. Al Gore has NOTHING on this penguin!!!!!

Ok...going to watch tv....FROM ACROSS THE ROOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Night sweats!

Get the little dime store glasses until you cant take it anymore. I still havent gotten the far sighted thing yet though they say I will ALONG with the near sighted stuff..nice! bifocal contacts for me.

Oh puleeeeeeeeeze... It's about time, for christ sake. Join the upper tier and get some glasses. Imagine the family pic we could all so now. ;)
