Zapped! Part I

Wearing glasses sucks. I've had glasses since I was a very little kid and contact lenses since I was the tender age of ten. I almost ALWAYS wear contacts, unless something drastic happens people should not know I wear glasses. Now I've got a few weeks ahead in which I can no longer wear contact lenses.
Being "legally blind" without lenses is something I have dealt with as long as I can remember. In the middle of night, upon waking up to pee, my first instinct is not to get out of bed and walk to the bathroom; oh no, first, I must feel around my nightstand for my glasses. Most likely, I will have to tinkle like the dickens and will knock the glasses off the nightstand in my frantic fury. My Super Powers do not work in the dark so I have to rouse The poor, slumbering Mister because I have become Velma from Scooby-Doo.
Friday I went for my first Zapped! consult/testing. My amazing eye doctor (found her when having a terrible eye problem a few years ago and Sibley ER doctor's were stumped), sat me down, dished the dirt and (yippee!) I'm gonna get Zapped!
For the next few weeks though, I must endure the wrath of glass. Frankly, they hurt my little button nose, but after this I'll be glasses and contacts free!
At any rate, I'll be able to see when I wake up. Taking a shower will have new meaning! Free at last! But for now, I'm stuck wearing glasses. Just a few weeks left to go.
[Thank you to the two great guys who complimented my glasses yesterday (J and Hunglish); I know they're cool, but I still hate to wear them. =-) ]
