Went to the eye Dr I was there 2 hours...I do say they really checked your eyeballs out..
They said my eyes were in great shape and my vision hadn't change in 3 years. I was shocked
it hadnt changed....
They say I qualify for the surgery if I pass the next test...My corneas are on the thin side so if the next reading says too thin then it's a no go.
It really doesn't matter to me if they say I can't get it...I like my glasses but I want to see better
Part of me hestitates because its going to cost 3400.00 for the surgery...
I'm just not sure I want to go into that much debt right now..
If I choose to have the surgery then I would probably have to work and I really want to be home for the kids....
I will talk to hubby tonight...
When I think about 3400.00 dollars I think about how I could get wood floors for that or pay off another debt.
Or I think how many years will I have to pay for it...kind of makes me nauseaus..
I dont like being in debt anymore than I have to scares me...
I think its from living single with a child for so long before I married the hubby...
It was always just my income alone and it was very hard...There were days of well do I pay electric bill or do we eat...very frustrating...
I guess I have never forget how much I hated living like that and fear keeps me from living that way again....
I did go ahead and make an Appt for the surgery April 15 just to keep a spot..
So there you have it.

So glad your eyes tests were good. I know my vision has deteriorated - I must book another eye test.
We had some tricky times just before and just after J was born, financially. I understand about not liking to be in debt!! Things are better for us now, but I don't have credit cards, loans of any sort or even a cheque book these days, I don't want to go there again!!! Hope you get to have it done, if it means you'll be able to see better :o)

I hate having to make choices, and of course, it's a natural part of life. There's a certain type saddle I'd love to have, but it's $1,200. I want to vacation in Colorado this summer with my husband, which wouldn't cost nearly that much. I have a saddle that's just fine, only it's old. The choice is obvious. The problem is, I want it ALL. I'll wait on the saddle.
I wear reading glasses and have thought about the surgery, but I'm a coward.

Isn't it time to think about YOU for a change? I do the same thing though, if I want something for myself, I rationalize all the other things that people in the house need or that the house needs before I will get what I need. But, it will be wonderful to see without glasses won't it?! I think it's worth the money! :)
Hugs and love, Lisa
