Hurray … One fear down, ten thousand to go! I had my annual eye exam on 1/11/10 and the doctor, Dr. Cargus, and I always have a discussion about my getting contacts. Well, for those of you who do not know, I DON’T DO EYES!!! I can’t stand to see other people touch their eye and the thought of touching my eye makes me blink profusely and my eyes begin to water. Dr. Cargus became aware of my fear last year when we were having our usual conversation and she began to demonstrate the “technique” on her eye. Let’s just say, there was some squealing and some eye closing and this was not from Dr. Cargus. Mind you, my eye was not being touched. I was simply looking at someone touch their eye! Even as a child I can remember being chased around the playground by those kids who liked to flip their eyes inside-out … why?
Any way, I digress. This year, I bit the bullet and got contacts. The young lady who “trained me”, Colitha, said I was not the worst person she’d ever trained and my performance time was not that bad … meaning I wasn’t in there for an hour whining and squealing like a wimp. She may have just been saying that so I wouldn’t feel like a big baby but I wanted to believe her, so I did :) I’m attaching pictures of Dr. Cargus (1st picture), Colitha (2nd picture) and myself (both pictures) on my big day.
