today started not too good. i had an eye appointment so had to go out today, took my wife to the store first and then to get fish for the aquarium. it was almost 90 f out so not pleasant in a car with no a.c. , one of our 15 year old chihauhas is smort. he goes in back and lays under Barbara our almost life size teddy to keep cool. also when it's hot my wife fills the dish with ice. the other one is stupid and stays out front where it's very hot. i had to spray her down to keep her cool so it wasn't too bad for her.
we scheduled my wife and i at the same time to make t easier. well they gave me my appointment and because we didn't realize her time was different we were 10 minuets late so they wouldn't see her and she had to reschedule. they have a way to check my eyes without drops so that made me happy.
the receptionist said i might be able to get my glasses there through medicare, i had heard about an eyeglasses allowance. well the receptionist checked and there was no allowance for my insurance, another woman checked to be sure and said no it wasn't available. i was in my car just getting ready to leave when one of the guys that handles selling glasses came out. he sad the 2 women were wrong and i did qualify for up to $300 dollars for an eyeware allowance. we had to be careful because i have bifocals. i looked at a bunch of frames and picked a decent pair of frames nothing serious and thinner lenses it came up to $270. when we were done i mentioned i always wanted transition glasses that darken when we go outside. he looked and we haggled but we got it for # 350 so i only have to pay $ 50 when they come in in about two weeks. my pain was around what i call a 10+ which is the worst pain i ever feel. it took around 4 hours to come down, i'm a 6 now. i should have known to take pain meds before i left due to the heat. well at least i'm doing great now and the pressure is off about how much i have to pay for glasses lol.
