"Was blind but now I see"

Mr Hollywood......




Oh boy I tell you, it is WONDERFUL, so glorious.......I got my glasses today, and I can SEE.......


How in the world did I get anything done.....I knew they were bad but I did not realize just how bad my eyes had gotten, until I put these on and the man handed me a piece of paper, and I did not have to turn the head, and struggle to read it.....Makes me think I should have demanded glasses for the distance stuff also....BUT he said that I did not need that YET........I now just have to get use to taking them off when I am not reading or crocheting or on here, because I surely can not see to walk with them...UGH little queasy feeling when I try that....




I sit here and lift the glasses and look without them and then I put them back on....and I tell you it is like night and day.....Can you tell I am in Heaven?........I told Brooke at the eye place with total excitement, Honey I can see, momma can see.....She said, I know..I think she has realized how much better it really is with her glasses on...she puts them on right away in the morning, and does not take them off until she is ready for bed...




My worries about her being teased at school, were put aside today....One little boy did ask her why she was wearing them, I guess Brooke got defensive at first, but the teacher stepped in and everything was fine.....




Well before Brooke fell asleep, watching TV, she told me I had to take a picture of myself to show my friends my new glasses, she stood there until I did so....so here it is....a very unflattering self portrait.....but it is as good as it is going to get.....


Jack has been helping the land lord plant 700 pine seedlings, he was gone for 4 hours yesterday, and left today at 12:30, and will probably not be back til dark....He is hoping that they get the rest planted, today.......at least it has been decent weather to work outside, not hot and not cold......Just right.....

Well I think I will go try my hand at crocheting with my new eyes, I had gotten to the point that I did not want to craft, because it was SO very hard to see, it was quite the struggle, so now maybe I will get back in the swing and enjoy it again...

Hope everyone is having a blessed day...............

I remember that feeling when I first got my glasses. Kinda scary to realize you couldn't see. I love your glasses...they look good on you.

Hugs!

Mr. Hollywood has stolen my heart!! What a doll.

Your glasses look fabulous! I know that you will be crocheting and knitting up a storm now that you can see.

I am so happy for you.

*hugs*

Oh my now that is a kodak moment. Your little man looks fabulous. And I must say that the glasses are very becoming even though Brooke made you do the self portrait.

I am so proud of Brooke for wearing hers.

Now when it is time for bifocals, I must input here. I love my progressive lens. I am now wearing trifocals and I can't tell. (no line and no nausea) IMO there are the best.

Hugs

I couldn't live without my glasses. It is tough having to concede to the fact that you actually need them.

I immediately thought of Jeff
Gordon when I saw the picture.
So glad you can see, I know it is horrible to craft without the glasses.
Hugs!!!
