I'm incredibly thankful that I'm not yet suffering from long-arm
disease that is affecting so many of my age-mates. I still have to
remove my glasses (or look over the top of them) to see stuff closer
than about a foot from my face, while lots of my friends have to tack
things to the opposite wall in order to see :D


A couple of years ago, I went in for an eye exam. Our son was
having one, too, and he went in first. The doctor came out to
the waiting room to retrieve her patients and when she came out
for me, I was reading a book. Went to the office and the first
things she said was 'So, show me how you read a book.' I was a
bit puzzled but picked up my book, opened it and held it like
always. She then said 'Do you see anything wrong with that?'
I, of course, was holding the book at almost arm's length but
just hadn't noticed it. :P

She offered bifocals to me but I resisted...until last year.
And I'm glad that I finally broke down and bought a pair.
