Good news, bad news

The bad news is that my eyes have not miraculously become functional. They have, in fact, gotten a tiny bit worse.

The good news is that since my eyes are so very good at being bad (quote from the tech/assistant/whoever guy when I showed him my previous prescription: "huh, you have really bad eyes."), new contacts are in fact a "medical necessity", which means under my insurance I didn't need to make a co-pay, and apparently it's possible (though I'm dubious about that). Also, NM state law apparently is stricter when it comes to contacts and a doctor can only give you a prescription for one year. Grr.

In other news, a hill in Santa Fe kicked my ass today again. Someday I will conquer it.
