Remembering surgeries
BeoPuppy:
... other than that it was great?
Barmymoo:
Goodness, that is quite the train of illnesses. Do you know whether some of the later issues would have been avoided or less serious if the doctor had diagnosed you correctly in the first place?
My brother had acute appendicitis and was rushed to hospital before it burst. I do occasionally wonder whether my stomach pains might be grumbling appendicitis but I suspect not. I keep meaning to go back to the doctors and find out for sure.

Dare I ask?

My closest brother (I have three, all younger) was sitting at the kitchen table one day when I came down for breakfast, shooting staples into the cereal box. My dad was always working on something in the house, and there were often tools lying around. I hadn't put my contacts in yet, I just wanted some breakfast. As I walked towards the table with my bowl and spoon, a staple ricocheted off the cereal box, and scratched the lens of my glasses, right in the line of sight.
Had I not been wearing my glasses, it would have gone into my eye instead.
I ate, went upstairs, put in my contacts, and dropped my glasses off at the opticians to have the scratch buffed out. During the day, I thought about the shard of glass from a stained glass project that flew into my eye when I was wearing contacts, gouging my cornea two months earlier. It took two weeks for it to heal and my sight to return to normal.
I picked up my glasses after school, got home, took out my contact lenses and never put them in again. I like my eyes.
Edit: why don't spellcheckers look at meaning and intent? "onto my eye" made no sense. Changed it to "into".
Barmymoo:
I like my eyes too - and am now tempted to get some safety goggles to wear ALL THE TIME.
Zingoleb:
My glasses are actually safety-goggle level glass. These have taken a lot of damage over the years.
Yet another reason to keep wearing glasses, even after I get corrective surgery.
