Eye Doc Ballyhoo

jdoublep

first – i go to the doc’s office only to find that my doc had moved to a building 1/2 mile west.
second – i check in at 9:32 for a 9:30 appt and didn’t see a doc until 10:22. that did give me some time to shoot these:


the doc showed up and dilated my eyeballs.
5 minutes after drops:

10 minutes after drops:

third – had to see a different doc to get fitted for contacts. this took another 15 minutes but this box of lenses was sitting there:


looks kinda medieval, no?
four – while learning how to insert and remove said contacts the helper girl used the wrong solution and pretty much thrashed my eyeballs. i had to sit in the office for a 1/2 hour while the docs flushed my eyes. i didn’t get a picture of my bright, pink eyeballs because i couldn’t see straight.
five – the receptionist couldn’t figure out my insurance so i had to sit there for 10 more minutes until she just said she’d figure it out and bill me later.

i have never so much looked forward to being at work.

i did get contacts.

i’m tired.

why does this blog always come back to me? how the hell are you?

I’m good, thank you. It sucks about the wrong solution though. But… yeay contacts?

It comes back to you because it’s yours… And I’m having a smashing day, thanks for asking.

last time I got my eyes dilated you could not see the iris for the pupil. I had to sleep it off, because even the classy plastic sunglasses didn’t help.
