Seeing Double

It's been a while since I posted... been a while since I sat down with my laptop.  It's been a while since I read a book in print or on my iPad.  And the reason is pretty simple.  My eyes are giving me trouble.

I noticed I was getting headaches.  My eyes were watering, my right eye was squinting and blinking more often than usual.  Extreme eyestrain with just a little reading.  So.  Time to get 'em checked, right?

But I was in Dubai and I knew we were headed home to Houston.  So I put it off until we returned to the states.  We finally got settled (got new insurance cards!) and I took myself to the eye doctor.  Turns out this type of double vision is not that uncommon and they can correct for it.

That's right.  They are going to grind a lens for me with a prism in it.  I can only imagine.

Once again, I'm thankful for the time I live in.  For medical science and for all inventors who think of ways to solve problems for human beings.  I can't wait to get my new glasses.  Because I'm having a hard time concentrating on this.  If I've missed any typos, Mea Culpa Maxima!
