I See

I've killed large spiders, dined on month old leftovers, suffered through bikini waxes, and used public restrooms without a toilet seat cover. Needless to say I'm fearless. But inserting contacts into my eyes for the first time was one of the scariest things I've ever done. Seriously. After attending an eye exam where I learned that my vision has declined to -1.00 in my right eye and -.50 in my left eye thanks to law school, I spent 20 minutes trying to insert one contact. I had two people trying to help me. Tears were running down my face as though a loved one died. Even my nose was running. At one point I broke down and told the worker that I'd rather just get glasses. But of course, I couldn't quit. She didn't let me. Finally, after about a half hour both contacts were in. The sense of accomplishment I felt was equivalent to running a marathon. I was a winner! And then they told me that I had to take the contacts out. Hmmm. Let's just say I picked the glasses with the black frames.
