Imagine your F/O accompanying you to the eye doctor
You would have walked, you knew you would get eye drops and wouldn’t be allowed to drive,
But your F/O insisted to drive and/ or accompany you to your appointment
They gently poke fun at your vision being worse than usual, due to the eye drops
You demand they buy you take-out on the way home
“Sure”, your F/O is still grinning. Their teasing tone can barely overplay their affection.
You remind them it’s not like you asked them to come along, after all it’s a scheduled check-up
They remind you they love you and wanted to make sure you’re getting home safely, knowing about the eye drops
You’re stumped for a reply
They shrug like it’s nothing, nudging you that you still need to decide where to get that take-out you insist they pay for
You try to hide your smile, conceding that, okay, maybe you should buy them a meal
Your F/O ruffles your hair, “Next time. Just let me treat you today, okay?”
antis DNI! This post isn’t for you!

My opthalmologist drove me up a fucking wall today. She kept wanting to reduce the magnification on my reading glasses because someone in their 30s shouldn't need something that strong. She kept saying that "shouldn't" and "age group" until I had to take a hard stance with her.
"I have osteoporosis, I've been through menopause, I've been sick with chronic illnesses since I was 15. My age group is irrelevant to my health."
She was annoyed with me I could tell. I'd seen another doctor in the practice last time as a fill in who was super thorough. For the followup, I requested that they switch that woman to my regular doctor instead. I don't deal with doctors who try to force me into the "normal" box and don't address my actual problems.

Alms for the blind
   On June 30th I had an appointment with an eye doctor to get new glasses. The ones I got just last year are, sadly, no longer right for my Very Terrible* eyes. Even worse, the left eye was ‘out’ and the right eye wasn’t too bad - so each eye was seeing differently and that created a lot of strain.
   My regular doctor, who I’ve been seeing since - jEeZ over thirty years?! - has reduced his hours, getting ready for retirement. They offered me an appointment with another optometrist in the practice. I shrugged to myself and accepted it. I guess I knew it would happen someday. I had the appointment, with a very thorough screening for other issues (such as peripheral vision) and a double vision test (near and far vision). She told me she could hook me up with a new prescription that would fix the eye strain I’ve been having. I left very anxious to get the new ones. Along with poor vision, my frames keep breaking!
   I glued my current frames together one more time. This morning I was able to go pick up the new ones. I put them on and
WHAT!?
   They were - terrible! There is no other word for it. I could see distance, but couldn’t read at ALL. The lady helping me kept urging me to try holding the paper at different distances (she SAW me move it from a few inches out to arm’s length - I don’t know why she kept asking) or hold my head at awkward angles to see if that helped. She would not accept that they were wrong. The left eye had double vision and the right was simply a blur. Even my old glasses, imperfect as they are, let me read if I focus carefully. She very much wanted me to just give in and accept them. I’ve been a customer there at that same store, as I mentioned, for over thirty years. I feel like they should trust me a little bit. I would not say they were bad if they weren’t bad.
  She reluctantly put me down for a new vision check with my regular optician. I am so disappointed. I have to take my glasses off, currently, for reading, sewing, or detailed artwork. And hold the thing I’m looking at a few inches from my nose! I won’t be able to see him until the 24th, then I’ll have another 2 week wait for lenses. I don’t know HOW the lens manufacturers managed to screw up so badly and different for each eye. {exasperation}
* Last time I asked, my vision was at 20/400. Yes, twenty over four HUnDreD. That is “legally blind**” levels of bad.
** First I typed ‘legally bling’ and that - ought to be a thing, actually.

I was trying to find a way to order contacts without an up-to-date prescription. I guess you can order from the UK. I saw this video about this company on tiktok and I bought 3 pairs for $33. if you also need to solve this problem check it out here https://www.feelgoodcontacts.com/refer-a-friend?situation=emarsyscampaign&sc_src=email_946872&sc_lid=122299283&sc_uid=K22fdwrE2r&sc_llid=93460&sc_customer=1077437&utm_fi=0e8fd041-b461-4b51-8bc3-2cd08f700994&utm_em=1077437

Finally mom gave shower and today going to dollar tree and get few puppy things maybe tractor supply as well probably not . Bad news is going to eye doctor guess good thing cause guess it means we have health insurance again and can get back to going to specialists but since I'm a adult now it will be whole new specialists. Stressful. But didn't know I was going to eye doctor I thought Mom was one going so I'm overwhelmed and also don't know how it's going to work since I can't talk anymore and I do have a AAC app on my phone but I'm not sure if mom will get angry if I use it and also what if mom can't go in back with me i think she will be able . and already know going to be misgendered
