It Seems that "wrong" keeps going on and on and on"

 It seems I just can't get a break anywhere. I had the Cataract surgeries. I got the impression I would ONLY need reading glasses. So, I go in for a two week visit to my optometrist & he gives me the impressions I still need some fixation in them even far off. Well, the cataract surgery was supposed to get rid of the astigmatism & it should have only correction some for reading. So, after I saw him I went over to order the glasses & of course I don't think they took the "prisms" in mind when they began getting ready for the surgeries.

Which I thought they would be corrected so the "double vision" would also be corrected also. In fact the eye surgeon told me I should not even need anything for distance, should be able to drive without glasses & after the surgery they would write me a letter stating the surgeries had corrected my driving night vision & issues with "halo's at night etc") and they should take the "needing lasses to drive off my license)". Well, in the first place they still put the prisms in the glasses, which meant some of the double vision was not corrected, & seemed these lasses were not "just readers" but I would need them abut as much as I needed \ before. After all the many weeks and UCH $$$ I went through to get rid of cataracts, & yet things are not a that different. I realize sooner or later I would need cataract surgery but my guess is I may have been able to wait at least another 2 years, got new glasses & by then get the cataract surgery. So, they order my glasses, which when I trie the new frames on I like the "sample ones". They seemed to be as good as my last frames. Which honestly I have 2 sets of frames from my last two pairs of glasses that are like band new. I take care of them so well, I never "usually" have any issues with frames. So, they send me a Text message on Wednesday the new ones were ready. I go to pick them up & I have not yet worn makeup simply due to allowing my eyes to have time to be completely healed & not get an infection from makeup. And the frames are a bit different than my last 2 pair. They are a tiny bit bigger as far as the shape of them and the color is kind of a rose pink. When I tried them on in the store as I picked them out I liked the color on me. she hands them to me (and these frames are exactly the same price as my last two pair) & s soon as I went to put them on they felt, "off". Like they were "loose" on the front pieces.My other ones never felt like that. I told her & she took them in the back & ent to fix them. She was gone quite a while, came back & said, yes they were "loose" at the front screws, so she went through & made sure they were all tight. Well, I put them back on & something still felt "off" but I decided it was just because they are brand new, made a bit different & I just needed to get used to them. After I got hoe, I took out my past pair, 7 noticed just how much "better quality" my last were were. In fact these new ones, are "crooked" when I lay them down on the desk. One ear piece is up in the air & the other laying kind of like it is bent to the inside rather than them being both nice and straight, as my older pair are. Plus I ordered them with the tint when in the sun & they were not getting darker like my old ones. I went on to Ennis, but I am so disappointed in the glasses, still also in the surgery ... plus I used to always get a copy of my "prescription" which I was not given. I like to keep a copy of them so I always know how much they have changed from one script to another. I sent a message & asked for a copy of my script. I decided rather than make a fuss too quickly I would wear them over the weekend (they had been also slipping down my nose) The nose pieces are far larger than my others. Then I AM going make make them either put these lens in another pair of frames like these. I think they ""twisted the frames or did something to them as they made the glasses. When you lay them down they just look crooked. So, there is yet another $$$ & they are NOT Nearly like I had THOUGHT THEY WOULD BE.

Wondering If I "Offended" anyone? Living a Life of never knowing what is around the corner, one day to the next.

As of lately, between thunderstorms, rain that seems to be never ending, concerns for loved ones and others I know that could be caught in these rushing waters somewhere, and all of the things I've seemed to either "get behind" on, or feel as if I am moving again, too slowly.

I know, another very long, drawn out sentence to start a post. As usual. from brain fog, to wondering what comes next, I am not sure what to us. I've awakened a couple of nights in a row, feeling as if I was being suffocated. Some of it, I'm sure just upset over all of the tremendous amount of rain, thunderstorms, water, and problems that go along with all of it.

I've got to make a couple of decisions in regard to my own health, that are not easy to make. As I've said now for weeks, Mom and I have been so looking forward to going for a overnight stay, a girls day and night out, away from all of the drama that continues to surround my life.

After going for months, and not hearing from our lawyer, about three days ago, finally after I had made a step in their direction, we get an email from an "assistant attorney" at our lawyer's office. She had read my email, and saw that I was in a bit of a fluster, not hearing anything from them for months, she comes back with her own email about some paperwork they need. There are some things that need to be clarified from information that a gentleman came down here and got from Jim. I believe it was more of a testing, of just how badly his memory, and that had been still trying to piece that information together. They also want names of doctors and addresses of course of any doctors Jim has seen over the past several months, since he gave them everything from the hospital.

We tend to think that "maybe", and that is a huge maybe, something may try to move forward now. Since "our attorney" is asking for information they may have some idea about the possibility of this not going on to a "jury and trial". I would "assume" that the other party involved in all of this would not want to "air" all of the details out in the "Dallas" area. But, we of course don't have a clue, as to what type of "witnesses" that we have "been told" they gotten depositions from. I cannot fathom, many "witnesses" to this at all. Only those involved in the wreck, being that it was on I-45, a very busy portion at that coming into the Dallas City Limits. and was no real "houses" to amount to anything in that area, If they do or did have a "look" it couldn't have been very much. That entire area, is more or less not filled with any real residential areas, with the exception, of the possibility of some type of apartments, and they would be kind of difficult to get a very good look at something on that stretch of highway, that happened that rapidly, to be able to say one way or the other what you "may have seen".... plus there as far as we know were no people that "stopped" and asked to help. With the accident as bad as it was, if someone had really seen what took place, I can't imagine them not stopping at the very least to not try and get 911 there, and even possibly get Jim out of that car. Of course He thought there was, but later we found out, what he thought I believe was the actual fire crew that came in and had to literally cut him out of the car. As far as we know there was not anyone that stopped to help. So, "onlookers" (I was not there so I can't say with certainty) seems kind of doubtful at this point.

I've been through that area now on several occasions driving back and forth to doctors, and unless it is one particular "house" or more like an apartment building, there is nothing "facing" the highway enough to see what really went on..


None the less, we also don't know whom it telling what, and whom knows anything, and maybe there is "not" a "witness"... but the other parties of course are going to "stir" the soup of a mess in any way they can in order to make the situation a bit deeper into a pile of crap honestly.

I am going to "end" this here. It is already after 2:30 on Friday afternoon. I've been so busy these past several days, and still am having to deal with whether to attempt Dallas and go to the Casino Sunday.. OR wait until my doctors appointment that is Wednesday afternoon, and we would be about an hour and 20 minutes away from the Casino then. We could even stay Wed. night and Thursday night... if we did that... the weather "supposedly" is going to be out of the woods as far as thunderstorms and all that has been going on. I have not packed yet, and I should have went to town today, but I don't want to attempt to wash the car until tomorrow... when hopefully it won't be as "muddy" as today. I can tell I am tired... my eyes are seeing "double vision" even with my glasses on as I type. So, I know I am just exhausted.... anyway, I think I am off to the sofa for now and give thought to what I may want to do about all of this...
