The elation of getting my vision back hit a brick wall today. I got my temporary prescription filled, put my glasses on for the first time and I felt like I was going to fall over. I couldn’t see much at all. I panicked! I had the technician check the lenses. Surely someone had made a mistake!
Hubby arrived in the shop at this point and gently reminded me that Dr. W. had warned me that until my stitches come out my vision will not be perfect. The right eye is fine, but the left eye has double vision due to the stitches. With this prescription I see better, but not perfectly. He finally convinced me to leave the shop with the glasses on and to give it a try.
We drove down to Concord and went to a Greek festival for lunch. I was still having trouble with my vision, but I must add here that the quality, the clearness is perfect, so I just have to be patient until the stitches come out.
However, patient, I am not.
I had a wonderful Moussaka for lunch and Hubby had Souvlaki. It was fantastic! Our friends belong to this church and we go every year to enjoy the good food, the friendly people and support their church.
Then we went shopping. Both at LL Bean and then for food. I found a great fleece jacket at LL Bean, and well, lots of food at the grocery store.
I finally had to do a little driving on our way home when we picked up the other car. I was okay as long as I did not turn my head.
Okay, I admit it. I’m feeling a little frustrated and a little depressed tonight. I guess in this fast paced world of ours we all expect instant perfection, and that isn’t going to be the case with my eye.
Patience…patience…patience.
🙁 I’m sorry to hear that your frustrated, I guess all in good time.
sorry i missed you in concord today…I ended up not getting to bedford til 120 anyway, tho!
we went to a dog funding raising show and what’s the first thing i saw when i got out of the car? Yup, a shiba! She was 6 months old and JUST adorable! Wolf’s color, too 🙂
I’m sorry you are frustrated. Healing takes time, but sometimes it’s difficult to deal with.
You’ll be seeing perfectly soon!
That’s a tough one MB. Hang in there doll. It’ll get better.

When I was down and frustrated with some adversity in my life…a lady knew what I was going through looked at me and smiled and said…”God must have confidence in you.” I said…Huh? (with a Jack Tripper look) She said that she believed that God gives his most valient children trials and adversities to work through, for he has much confidence in us and our own strength and faith…Then, I realized that if God had that much confidence in me then I must be doing something right. I felt more at peace and somehow stronger inside, I felt more confidence in the situation and patience came a little more easily for me. I don’t know if this helped…but I hope it did.

I don’t blame you. I would get frustrated, too, if I couldn’t see well. Hope it gets better soon!
Well, I know what everyone should say to you about wait, it’ll happen, grin and bear, etc.. BUT..I also know the feeling of no patience so…Good Luck Maribeth. I know how annoyed I was yesterday when allergies were bothering my eyes!!!
Aww hang in there. You are right that the things that take time can frustrate us so much. I hope that a little shopping helped some and I am sure when the sitiches come out you will be mended even more!
I’m just like you, instant gratification please! Hang in there, sounds like you only have a but more time left.
Oh, I myself have no patience at all, so I kind of know how you feel. As I also know you’ve heard this too often but: do be patient!
(hugs)
