Finally get in to see an ophthalmologist, he does his battery of tests and determines that my eyes are physically/structurally fine I just need a new prescription, at this point i'm basically wearing glasses at pretty much all times to see. Before my incident I only needed to wear glasses to see at night while driving due to glare/lens flare from lights.
I ask about lasik surgery and this motherfucker says "You should think very carefully about getting lasik, sure you are near sighted now but in 10 or 20 years you'll be thankful when you are the only person in your age group who doesn't have to reach for reading glasses to read a book"
"Dude what are you talking about? I now need to wear glasses at pretty much all times to see anything, including reading?"
"Yeah but if you get lasik to correct your vision you'll lose your near sightedness, so when you are older and your vision gets bad again you'll have to wear reading glasses"
"Dude what fucking part of 'I need to wear glasses all the fucking time now including when I read' do you not get?"
This is an Opthamologist, a real eye doctor full MD type, not some optometrist technician who only does eye glasses and shit.

I had lasik in 2003, it was awesome. Left eye started getting fuzzy 15 years later, I had that touched up with PRK which made everything far away crystal clear, but reading close text was a pain. But my right eye is fine for it, so I've accepted my mono vision reading thing I have going on. Sucks getting old! The rest of my body is working just as well as when I was 18, so I can't complain.
If you already need reading glasses, there is literally no point in waiting to get surgery.

Think it might be rona. Monday night suddenly a bit of a sore throat and bad child by bed, hardly any sleep freezing despite 2 sweaters, sweats, multiple blankets. by morning fine but for some residual sore throat.
Wednesday onwards dealing with like mild congestion, tiny little cough here and there but not super stuffy. Then 6am my ears i don't hear pop but suddenly my hearings fucked, i doing funny to myself, and my ears hurt and can gear fluid move if i lay my head over. Hadn't had that happen in ages and ages. Just hope it's not a full infection, i just finished at the dr taking yearly blood draw etc, sucks to go waste another visit for some some antibiotics

FIL made that mistake. He was tired of the heat and 'wanted to have some actual seasons' Sold the motel they owned in Florida and moved to the NC mountains and bought another motel. When he told me that 'I moved to Maggie Valley and bought a motel' I interrupted with 'On purpose?!" . He got seasons all right. Nearly fucking bankrupted him.

My dad growing up - family owned restaurants - they had a summer restaurant in Cherokee after they did 2 summers at a big church camp in Maggie Valley.
It’s so odd listening to stories about how things worked back then with tourism and seasons… they closed their shop in FL in the summer because their patrons were snow birds and normal workers - they all left or were displaced in summer - when tourist focused things popped up- so they did summers up north, its just not how things work now- and so odd to think of.

Motherfucking poison oak.
Waited 6 months to clear a patch of it that was on our fence line, so all the leaves would be gone. Took every reasonable precaution. Washed immediately after with poison oak soap.
2 days later its still breaking out in random spots all over my body. Mother fuck. This stuff should be our species #1 target for extinction. Mosquitos can wait. Fuck

That's the one with blisters right? Assuming so I got it on the bottoms of my feet when swimming as an early teenager. It got nearly to the knee on both legs before someone told me what it was and that it passed by the blisters. I didn't even try the lotions , just will powered myself not to scratch it and it went away in a few weeks.

I moved somewhere so fucking hot it cannot grow. Don't have mosquitoes or fleas here either. Ahh the high desert. I was 21 degrees this morning though.
I kept getting emails from a company, I don't want to say their name but they rhyme with LAPCORP
Telling me it's time to schedule my fasting labs for my annual bloodwork.
So I do, scheduled it for 7:30am this morning.
Show up this morning , made sure I drank nothing but water cuz it's fasting labs + I am a terrible stick.
They ask me if I have the lab order with me. I say no you should have it since you are the ones telling me we need to schedule them.
'our computer is down , we can only take paper orders'
Weirdly their self check in kiosk worked fine but whatever.
I said don't even begin to tell me you cannot do my labs
'no you'll have to go to another location'
Nearest one is 1+hours away in Las Vegas.
Then I got told I was being rude and they didn't like dealing with rude customers.
But: I believe in voting with my wallet. Wife likes going there as she likes the people , I'm never going there again.

Whenever I'm told I'll need labs done, I always request a paper copy of the orders right then. I file them away so I have them on hand when it's time of the appointment.
The only issue I've ever had is they put the wrong year on the order once. A quick call to the office and corrected orders were faxed 5 minutes later. Going to a small office does have some benefits.

Just got back from spending 2 hours in a cardiac MRI machine...Where to even begin?
Expected to stay completely still for 1 hour in a freezing cold room wearing nothing but a hospital gown. Mind you i'm locked in this cramped space hooked up to a bunch of monitors tubes and IVs, strapped down with velcro i cannot move at all even if I wanted to, yet my muscles shivering from the cold caused distortions in the images and I had to completely redo multiple sequences so it ended up taking 2 hours.
the audio telling you when to breath and when to hold your breath thinks we're all Olympic divers, machine literally was asking me to hold my breath 3-5 minutes at a time. when it would finally say "Resume breathing" I was like negro, I resumed breathing 4 minutes ago otherwise I would be dead
Machine sounds like a fax machine having angry sex with a car horn so I'm offered headphones with smooth jazz. barely audible smooth jazz, mostly just the machine screech.
The fucking smooth jazz audio, I checked it wasn't radio, it was pre-recorded audio the hospital uses, had fucking commercial breaks in it. Literally ads for local furniture liquidators, ambulance chaser personal injury lawyers, etc. The commercials were the only audio that was crisp and clean that you could hear over the sound of the MRI machine. Talk about a captive fucking audience.
and to top it all off, nose started itching the moment I am placed in the machine and it did not stop itching until 30seconds before finishing the MRI.
