Tonight Daryl had an eye appointment after work and as I was sitting in the lobby waiting for him to get done with his check up, I was thinking to myself when did we get old and need glasses to see?
I mean it just literally snuck up on me. One day I could see almost down to the corner on our gravel road and now? Well now I put on my glasses pretty much the first thing in the morning just to see which tooth brush is mine. Yea, not cool.
Now I know that there are many things that are so much worse in life and I agree with that. But I guess I never really thought that I was getting old until tonight. Kinda crazy isn’t it? I mean I’m not a spring chicken but I’m not a old dead hen either!
So with thinking about getting old and how fast time flies, I also started to think about what we should do for our 35th wedding anniversary. By now you probably know I’m a planner and our 35th anniversary isn’t for a couple of years, but hey I think I better talk about it now before I forget 🙂
I started to use reading glasses in addition to my contacts several years ago. Then last year, at my yearly checkup, my doctor said I was low on Vitamin D. So he started me on a Rx weekly tablet for three months, and then I was to take a daily Vitamin D3 tablet, 2,000 iu. Six months after the first checkup, I found I didn’t have to pull out my reading glasses anymore, except for playing the piano. I’m amazed! We celebrated our 39th anniversary three months ago.
That’s awesome Ruth! Who would have thought that vitamin D could help that much?
Also Congratulations on the 39th anniversary!!
