I almost made a giant mistake today
I had an eye doc appointment. This is a semi annual visit with a retina specialist in Sycamore.
A few nights ago the topic came up. Emily asked who was taking me and I said I was driving myself.
She asked if my eyes were being dilated. I said I think so. She said, "Dad,you can't drive yourself."
But I had it all planned. If my eyes were bad, I would just sit in the parking lot for an hour or so until they were normal. I would get a coffee before hand, leave it in the car and sip it while I awaited vision to return to normal.
It is now alnost 9 p.m. and I am still blurry. And no, it is not due to wine.
Not only was I planning on clearing up, I was going to Target (for toilet paper) and two grocery stores plus the vet clinic.
Friend Sheri drove me because John was tking Camryn to have some wisdoms removed. I did not want Jackie to drive me because I hated her waiting in the car for an hour if there was still an embargo on non patients in the clinic. But there wasn't. Not that I wanted anyone to sit in a car for an hour, but Sheri could have gone somewhere and gotten out of the car while Jackie could not.
When I walked out it wasn't so bad....then I hit the sunlight and it was like a 747's landing lights in my face. I could not see a thing. Of course, I left my sunglasses at home. And I did not ask for some cheap shields when I left the office.
In short...there was no way I could have driven anywhere for several hours.
Once again, sensible people saved me from a serious mistake.
And call me crazy, but when I was younger it seemed Good Friday meant businesses would close from noon to 2 or even all afternoon. I went about my day like it was a normal Friday. It just seemed odd.
But it was also odd not eating meat today.
Stay healthy. Stay happy.
Peace and Love
