Just a short note about this blog.

For timeline purposes, posts from 2008-2014 are summaries of significant happenings in those years. Please use the Blog Archive links to start at the beginning.

Past tense/Present tense language may change within a post, but those variances should not impact the overall telling of my experiences. I am Canadian, therefore, the spelling of some words (tumor/tumour, color/colour) may vary depending on if it's my wording or quoted text. I have tried to include both key words in the labels of relevant posts.

The blog contains medical terminology. I have tried to provide explanations or definitions when they occur. Occasionally medical images (nothing too graphic) are included to further explain or demonstrate.

Explanations and graphics link to original sources wherever possible with the exception of my personal photos.

New Glasses Arrived

I picked up my new glasses from Sears!  

Heavier frames
 tortoise shell
Lighter frames
 purple tint
Amazing how quick they were. I ordered them on the 15th when Rob got paid and was told 10 days for them to be in.  Well, I got a call Monday night saying they were ready!  5 days including the weekend, now that's great service!  I got 2 pairs of progressives with the deal they had on offer, $25.00 out of pocket after insurance. I certainly couldn't go wrong with that deal.  

2 slightly different frames, one a little heavier with a tortoise shell look, and the second pair are lighter, with a slight purple tint to them.  I decided the darker, heavier frames would be for going out, and the lighter pair for every day use.  I had the anti glare coating added to the lighter pair as I would be using them more frequently with the television and computer screens.
