Today is Day 250 of my Daily Food Diary! 🥰
Today is off to a bit of a rocky start. It is Day 6 of my latest round of antibiotics and oral steroids for a lung infection. I don’t know if there are any prescription medications that agree with me, but I do know Prednisone is not one of them.
This morning, I made Dan and I each a Cheese Biscuit breakfast sandwich. I took my Prednisone and set off on our morning walk with Dan and Molly. I made it about four blocks before I was feeling so wobbly, that I decided I had better head back home. Dan and Molly walked me back and I am fine, but definitely not the start of my week that I was hoping for. 😥
But the day has just begun and yesterday made a good turn around for me!
Yesterday morning, my glasses met with an unfortunate fatal incident. I found an older pair of single vision glasses and decided they would have to do until I got in to see my optometrist. I wasn’t thrilled but, you do what you have to do!
For over a decade, I have been wearing progressive bifocals. I have never been particularly happy with them, but I got used to dealing with them. The biggest issue was the bottom part of the lens that was set for reading. I never could read through them (I just read without glasses) and I struggled to go down steps or walk outside on any uneven ground.
So yesterday, I put on my old single vision glasses and didn’t notice much difference puttering around indoors. I stepped outside onto the back landing, and when I went to go down the steps EVERYTHING was in perfect focus. I walked around our yard in complete confidence – over uneven ground, cracked sidewalk, anything. It was amazing. This morning, on my short walk, I also noticed a drastic difference on the streets and sidewalks.
I can’t wait to see my optometrist to get a new (updated prescription) for a pair of glasses that work FOR ME!
