I’ve been gone for most of the day. First to yoga, which I’m still really enjoying and feel like I’ve gotten a full body workout. Strangely enough, even though it’s very low impact, I get all sweaty from the poses. It’s gotta be working then, right? Then to the second half of my pre-op exam in Chevy Chase MD. Lucky for me, the Metro can take me up there but unfortunately I had to haul ass from yoga to get back her and get Stoli out and change clothes before walking to the Metro.
I can’t read when I’m on a train or car. I guess it has something to do with the world whizzing by in my peripheral vision or something. So I sit back with my iPod and just kinda zone out. During my zoning today, this guy sat there and nonchalantly (not discretely) picked his nose while reading the paper. Ew, I’m sorry but even scratching your nose near the openings is kinda gross in public, let alone digging for that oh so elusive booger.
Although the appointment today was only supposed to take 5 minutes it ended up taking an hour because the prescription they got from my exam yesterday was slightly different from today and they didn’t see any astigmatism yesterday and the Wavefront machine saw one in my left eye and then I guess my current set of glasses (2 years old) show me having an astigmatism in my right eye. So she said after I’m all doped up before surgery they’ll do another scan just to check things out and the traditional method of finding a prescription is more faulty than the Wavefront and the laser will correct whatever the Wavefront sees. She assured me that the Wavefront machine will get my true vision defects and the laser will correct those. Hopefully, she’s right – this isn’t something to guess on. My surgery is scheduled for next Thursday and is late enough in the day Casey won’t have to take any time off work. I can’t wait until this is over with. I’m tired of not being able to wear sunglasses and go to all these appointments.
Casey’s been working past midnight the past two nights so I’m behind on my TV viewing. I cheated this afternoon and looked at the CBS website to see who was left behind at the last rest area – Lynn & Alex. Yay, these whiny bitches were always trying to get Rob & Amber and weren’t quite fabulous enough. I’m waiting till Casey finally gets home at a decent hour to catch up on all this. Good thing we have a 200 hour TiVo! Off to the library now, to drop off/pick up holds .
