tiamatladya sweeping statement earlier?
Well either someone isn't listening, or I should have kept my mouth shut.
By habit I take a good look at my contacts before they go in. I'm very near sighted so this also happens whether I want it to or not. I spotted a tear in my right contact this morning. I wasn't sure if it actually WAS or a teeny piece of thread, but popping it into my eye revealed why yes, it is a tear (for the non contacted - there is a difference in feel. For the contacted - yes I popped it in anyway to check. I had to, read on.) A quick check of my left, which hadn't been feeling "quite" right revealed a small nick on the side which I'd missed.
Out they both go. This isn't the major problem it USED to be with me, I now use the disposables, rather than the expensive kind I used to be prescribed. These are about $5 for the pair, a little less, and they've lasted far longer than they should have.
Why? I've been needing to see my eye doctor. But I didn't like the one I'd picked (for his closeness to my Cape office) I couldn't go at my year checkup time, I tried to go during tax season and he couldn't work around my schedule. (OK I was very inflexible too.)
I now have in my last pair of "good" and "not old" contacts. I have some others, but I see the curvature is different and only the pair I have in are NOT beyond some expiration date. These are "*MEEP* only to get me to the eye doctor!" pairs I have left.
So, on TOP of all this juggling, I NOW have to either schedule and get to the guy on the Cape, which I DON'T want to do, or get a new eye doctor.
Back I go to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
b0st0n and southofboston to ask about. I was thinking of just going to the doctor in BJ's but I've heard she's swamped.
if I were going to borrow money, it would be for this. I've got too many balls in the air, I can't handle this one too. Make sacrifices to whatever god wants it, to have my contact hold up til I can get new ones.
