I can see clearly now
I have reading glasses.
I made an appointment with the eye doctor when my darling husband bought me Seanan McGuire's Discount Armageddon, which I was physically unable to read because the print was too small for me to read. I couldn't move the book away far enough for the words to focus. (I read it with a magnifying glass.)
My far sight is fine, but yeah, I'm near-sighted. The doctor also took pictures of the insides of my eyes, looking for diabetic complications, which are thankfully not present at this time. I do have some wiggly arteries in my right eye she says are caused by high blood pressure, which I currently do not have. But the damage may have been caused by when I had preeclampsia in my first pregnancy.
I cried when I read last night, because it wasn't a struggle any more. I hadn't realized how much strain and guesswork went into parsing words on the page until I could just do it with the glasses.
