Friday the 13th
Happy Friday the 13th!
1. Do you use glasses? If not, skip to questions 4 and 5. No. I got my first pair a few years ago. Jekyll, my pup, ate them within a week. Got another pair that lasted a few months but he ate those too (Yes, I do feed him). I know I'd never be able to keep a pair for long so I've given up. It could be that Jekyll has vision problems and he was trying to tell me something. That would mean he also needs a cell phone, a pager (back in the day), lots of books to read. The list is long, believe me. He and Hyde have been on a kick of eating the mail lately. As long as they eat all the bills, I'm all for it. I always tell them they have Pica. That's the eating disorder where people eat screws and nickels and crazy stuff like that. They're so nuts but I love them so much.
2. How often do you update them and what do they look like? The glasses I had gotten were very stylish. If I wore them all the time, I would update them frequently enough so they didn't get too outdated.
3. How old or what grade were you in when you got your 1st pair of glasses. I was 40 years old. I know that because I wore them to my 40th birthday party and everyone loved my new look.
4. Would you consider having lasik surgery for corrective vision?
(Did you know that you're completely awake during the whole thing? He said they peel back a flap and you smell burning skin, but it's over quickly. They did give him a valium when he first walked in, though.) If it's anything like a regular laser, I can't imagine having it done. I have some dark pigmentation on my face. As luck would have it, it's right above my lip so it looks like a moustache. I've been getting laser treatments to take it off. Even with your eyes covered, the light is so bright, it looks and feels like fire. They put this really cold gel on you that's been stored in the freezer. If having lasik is anything like that, I don't know how anyone could survive it, never mind having it correct your vision. My brother had Radial keratotomy years ago and swears it's the best thing he's ever done. That's where they put little slits in your eyes. Ouch, that sounds even worse. I'm not sure if they even do that any more. My other brother had to have his cornea smoothed out with a laser. I went with him to the surgery but I don't recall him saying it was that bad. Anyhoo, I suppose if my eyes were really bad and lasik surgery was my only chance at being able to see, I'd have to have it done. Btw, so you don't think I'm the bearded lady, I seem to be the only person who notices the dark pigmentation. I even had to point it out to the dermologist when he claimed it had gone away. If I get asked to join the circus sideshow, I'll know it's gotten worse.
5. Would you schedule a surgery of any sort on April Fool's day or Friday the 13th if other dates were available? I would definitely ask for another surgery date and would only take it if that was the only date they had for a really, really long time.
