I just don't have the balls to do it. Besides, if I'm going to end up in glasses again potentially, I figure what's the point.

One of mine is when I finally put on my first pair of glasses. I was gettin migraines all the time when I was a teenager. Went through the eye check and everything, but didn't see anything unique about glasses until I put my first set on. Alone the side of his office was a long window. He pulled the blinds back and I could see the Bradford Pear trees right outside the window. I could see every leaf! It was sooooo cool. Sometimes I wish some moments in my life could be just as unique.<BR/><BR/>Congrats on the surgery :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699569.post-1139087818818822452006-02-04T13:16:00.000-08:002006-02-04T13:16:00.000-08:00I am not a candidate for the surgery as my eyes ar...I am not a candidate for the surgery as my eyes aren't "bad enough" so the doctor said.

I soon got glasses and the world opened up to me! I drove my friends nuts by stopping and saying things like "LOOK AT THAT TREE! You can actually see each individual leaf!" It was great to see what I had been missing. Now I wear contacts am afraid of Laski :(Bar L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11100008292699584336noreply@blogger.com
