Zapped! Part II

Today I visited my amazing eye doctor for a final visit before my pre-op. After my pre-op this coming Monday, I will have my eye correction surgery on Wednesday.
While there, we had a 'heart to heart' and honestly, my eye doctor is really wonderful. I feel confident about my decision and being in her care. I suppose there's a reason she's listed in Washingtonian's best.One funky thing though... I wasn't prepared to have my eyes dilated today, but she wanted to "check one more thing...". This picure was taken four hours later. After various tests and our talk, she gave me a pair of inserts for my glasses. I only have one pair of glasses and they are not tinted in any way. Upon leaving, I stumbled around and got lost looking for my car. No joke. I called The Mister as he helplessly tried to assist me, "Do you see any street signs?" In all honesty, I'm pretty sure there must have been signs; however, the sun was shining and my pupils being the size of dinner plates didn't allow me to have the wherewithal to look upward. At one point, while standing on a corner, I tried to look to the sky where a street sign should have been and I tumbled over. Whoops! There I was, knees on the sidewalk. Never good when you're alone and it's daylight.
The Mister was in distress, "And you're going to drive when you find the car?!"
"No, The Mister, I'm going to sit in the car and talk to you until I feel it's okay. It's not far; it's fine. I'm fine. By the way, this is a really nice neighborhood... Really pretty."
I stumbled around and found my way back to Massachusetts Avenue and past the Crate & Barrel. There were people around, but I couldn't see well enough to tell if they were staring and pointing at my oh-so-hott-sun-protection-inserts. I'm really surprised these things haven't caught on.
Then somehow, I wandered through a crowded parking lot that appeared out of nowhere. And, poof!, there was my car parked on the street just as I had left it.
While tottering around looking for my car, I tried my best, but I gotta tell ya'...
It's very difficult to feel glamorous when you're wearing these:

My apologies; I'm waiting to post my dr.'s info until after the procedure when everything has turned out great.
If you can't wait, email me at lilkatie202@netscape.net and I can tell you all about it.
It should just be about 1.5 weeks. (I'm getting zapped! next wednesday and am not supposed to do much computerizing for a couple of days.)
