Seeing Clearly


Many years ago I was working with a coworker learning the ins and outs of our scanning system. She's a really nice girl, the super shy kind who just keeps her head down and does her job. Somehow the topic of eye surgery came up and I mentioned how I'd gotten it and absolutely loved it. She seemed interested and a couple weeks later told me she'd looked into it and it was thousands of dollars. Whoops. I had my eye surgery done on the mission and the doctor did it as a service to missionaries for only the cost of equipment so in total, it was only about $450. I didn't know what the going rate was and had NO idea it was that expensive.

The other day this same girl stopped by my desk and excitedly told me about how she'd finally gotten the surgery. I couldn't believe it! That brief conversation we'd had so many years ago had such an impact on her... I had no idea! Her eyes were slightly red and I was touched she took the time to let me know.

In Baby News: As I'm getting bigger I'm noticing my body moves a little differently. It's like I used to walk in rear wheel drive and now I have to walk in four wheel drive... and closer to the ground with minimal bouncing. I don't know how else to explain it but I asked Brent to watch me just to be sure I wasn't waddling. 18 weeks is WAY too early to waddle.
