Today was far better than I thought it would be...because of modern technology. I was all prepared to be down for the count for most of the day because I had an eye doctor's appointment and I was anticipating the requisite dilation of my pupils. I have green eyes which means that my eyes are more sensitive to the dilation drops. Some doctors know that it takes less drops to dilate light eyes but, I don't think my doctor knows that and, I like him so, I won't tell him how to do his job. So, I just usually put up with it and spend the majority of my day after dilation hiding from light behind closed eyelids. But, not today! Today I got to use some modern technology. It is Retinal Photography. They take a picture of your eye and it shows them everything they need to know about your eye health. Now, if I had any problems that he would like to take a closer look at, he would have had to dilate my eyes. And, he will likely dilate them next year but, because my eyes are healthy and he didn't see anything alarming, I left his office, for the first time, without squinting in total discomfort! Yay! And, I have stuff to do today. I have a Birthday card and one Thank You card, as-well-as some Christmas cards that I want to make today. I was able to run to the store after my appointment so, I got that errand done. And, I'll be able to make dinner tonight with no discomfort. Gotta love modern technology! Now...if only Dentistry would catch up and make fillings and root canals, as-well-as those gagging x-rays, painless.
