You don't know what you've got til it's gone!

I went to the eye doctor last monday for the first time in about six years.  I had not been to an eye doctor since I had eye surgery to correct my vision in 2004, so the visit was long over due.  Lately, I have noticed that my vision has been a little blurry and I thought I may need glasses again.  My suspision was right and now I have my first pair of glasses in six years.  I was really dissapointed that my vision changed after having lasik surgery.  Don't get me wrong, I don't regret the surgery, and as soon as we can save up the money I will have it again in a heart beat, but I really didn't know how good I had it until I had to go back to glasses.  I was almost legally blind before I had the surgery so after the surgery it was so great not to have to rely on glasses or contacts because before I couldn't do ANYTHING without them!  I couldn't even see the big E on the eye chart, not even close.  My vision is no where near that bad now so at least I have that going for me but I had hoped after surgery that it would be many years before I needed glasses.  Oh well, such is life.

Here are my new glasses!
