Indicating a Good Day Ahead

I remembered to put my contact in first thing this morning.
That is an indicator that it will be a good day.

Something you may not know about me is that I have eye drama.
I swear to have seen most every eye doctor in the state looking for a solution other than major disfiguring reconstructive eye surgery.
Surgery which includes making me new eyelids out of my cheeks.
Gross.
Mostly I think they all need to go back to school... or read more, or actually care.

Because then one day I suggested to them that we get me a contact.
I think his geniusness Jake came up with this idea one night.
He knows a lot about eyes for being a lawyer.
A lot more about eyes then most every eye specialist in the state it turns out.
Or he just actually cares about my problem.
When he invented it, Jake called it "Bionic Contact"
It didn't seem like the typical solution for the mess of my eye.
But it works for now.

This proves to me that all six of the ophthalmologists I saw were either 1) not listening to me,
2) wanting me to have unnecessary surgery so they could charge me $8000
3) or are not as smart as the man I married.
I pick three.

Did you know that they make what is called a bandage contact?
That is what I wear.
It has no prescription.
And I only wear it in one eye.
And they are completely covered by insurance too.
I could use a prescription but I do without because I don't want to pay for them myself.
So when I read- I am suppose to wear my glasses over my contact.

Funny huh?

Instead of learning how to use contacts when I was a sixth grader like everyone else,
I am learning about them now.

The thing is though, that I never remember.
Never.
I have only been putting a contact in as part of my morning routine for a few months.
And by the time I remember,
my eye hurts to much to get it in.
So I just have to deal with the pain all day.

This morning
I remembered.
I remember 1st thing.
I got it in on the 1st try.
And my eye feels so much better when this happens.

Not having pain all day long,
not feeling like somebody is sticking a needle in my eye all day long,
makes me so happy.

Here is so more "good eye days" ahead.
