I went to the eye doctor today to get my prescription updated. I just wanted my vision checked, no drops or annoying thats that prevent me from seeing. Anyone with optic neuritis knows that you get your eyes poked enough for years. I have had my eyes dilated three times since first having problems. The eye assistant said that I would have to have my pressure checked which was done in May 2008. I said no, I didn’t need that. I just needed a prescription.
Well, it seems insurance companies don’t want to pay for just a vision check. They will only pay if you have the full exam. There is no reason I need the full exam after just having one. Insurance companies are freakin stupid.
Anyway, I have noticed some changes in my vision since the optic neuritis. When the assistant did the vision test, he said “well it’s 20/20 so no problem”. The doctor came in and said that my vision did look good but then she put up a new screen I hadn’t seen before. It was red on one side and green on the other. The green letters were clear and easy to read. The red was a little blurry. So that is why my vision is blurry… I can’t see the colors right I guess.
Anyway, she wrote me a new prescription. I am not sure if that will help the weird color blurriness but I’ll hope it does.
I have been having tons of fun with this election year. Sarah Palin is about as opposite as I get but man did she spice it up. She is a no-name crazy wackadoo from what I can tell but she seems like the sexy librarian from next door with 5 kids. It’s something people can identify with. She probably won some people over with her speech although Tom disagrees with me. He was expecting her to talk about the issues that matter. She of course didn’t. She talked about how she get rid of her private chef and how she listed something on ebay. They were things normal people understood. She was feisty and a lot of people were laughing.
Some of the claims about here are just nuts. My favorite is that she has more executive experience than the whole democratic ticket. They define an executive a single person in charge of something. She was a mayor for a town of 9,000 and a governor of a state with 670,000 people. The population of Chicago alone is 2.8 million. The whole state has over 12 million. I think I will take the person without the executive experience.
Anyway, for todays laughter… (Jon Stewart should run for president):

Great clip of the Daily Show. Hubby and I laughed our asses off watching that the other night. Wouldn’t you think Rove and that other Pin Head would realize that there are clips of them disagreeing with themselves! LOL Sad thing is that much of the nation just doesn’t pay attention.
Happy to meet another MS blogger. Take care.

I’ve been poked and prodded by eye doctors since I was four years old. None of the testing seems odd anymore (but insurance only pays if the visit is ‘medical’ in nature, like I have an eye infection or something) but we do do them every time.
My vision is not the same since have optic neuritis even though we can correct it to ‘20/20′. It’s the red colors which slightly come and come. And there’s sort of a hazy foglike smudge in the eye which completely grayed out years ago.
But there are times which are very important to get the whole testing done. Optic neuritis (if it were to return) can be seen when the pupil is large enough to expose the optic disk in the back.
I hope that your new prescription works out well for you.
BTW, the thought of McCain/Palin leading this country scares the bejeebers out of me.

Oh, I completely again. It scares me too. My brother asked me my thoughts and I said I was kind of more against McCain/Palin than I am for Obama simply because they scare me so much more.
It was a good thread on PLM until this afternoon. I thought I behaved myself (which is unusual
). Too bad people had to be dorks.

I heard that Obama gets a lot of his money from the far East. I am inclined to be more afraid of those influences than Palin, who lives next door to Russia and has to deal with the top secrets that have to do with that country. . .
