Is it worth it??

So, I am baffled is it all worth it in the end? I just have to wonder if doctors really just want more $$$ from you! So I went to the eye doctor and of course I am still as blind as a bat! (this is a direct quote from the doctor) Which is some what fitting for this time of the year I guess! I have quite a few issues with my eyes as per usual- the good news is my main disease which is keratoconus- fancy way of saying my eyes are coning and thinning- has not gotten any worse as of last year! This just means I "most likely" wont have to wear hard lenses. I do have astigmatisms in both eyes that have gotten worse- of course-which explains why I cant see as well! Now on top of that I have another big long worded disease that basically means I have irritation across my eye and my eyes are swollen all the time. Of course I'm thinking OK that's enough- but no I have chronic dry eye as well! Which "should" feel like I have something under my contact at all times! But do I feel anything- No- he says my eyes are like scars- they have built up a tolerance to the pain apparently! I say good- he says no good! He then proceeds to recommend a few daily prescriptions to help my eyes feel better- I say ok if I have to! That is until he told me it could be $100 a month for everything and I at least have to do it all for 6 months at the minimum! Of course they told me this after I had just forked over $100 for my uber special contacts! If I don't feel anything is it really worth all the money to not feel any different?! Needless to say I am wearing my glasses for now and according to the doc I should wear them for at least a few weeks to give my eyes a break! Gotta love doctors!


Glasses- UGH!!

Our Life...

So I finally join the bloggin world... this is for those of you that have asked me to keep them clued in to my life and want to know what we are up to! I will do my best to keep it up!

Well we dont have too much going on in our world lately! We have both been working away our days with a little bit of fun in between! Just to update you in case you all don't know David is curruently working at a Sign Shop... making signs of course! This has been a big change for him seeing as the job he has done his whole life is building fence. I think he is enjoying the new change of pace and all the signs he sees around town that he has made! I have been working at the same heating and air conditioning company that I have been with since we moved here. This year marks my 3rd year with them. It has been very busy the last little while but that does make the days go by faster! We still have our buddy Tank who always keeps us on our toes and keeps us entertained! We have learned from him that all the dirty socks must go in the hamper with something on the hamper lid or they end up in his mouth. He always grabs them and stands there untill you get up to take it away and then the chase is on!! We also have found that we go through lots of marshmallows- they are his favorite treats!



Just the 2 of us!

Our tankers- doesnt he look so sweet and inocent!

We don't really have anything too exciting coming up, but with our fresh new snow that has fallen tonight David can't wait to hit the slopes and start another new year of SNOWBOARDING!! He cant wait to get out there and jump higher and farther than last year! The sad thing is I got him into boarding and now he kicks my butt down the hill! :( I think that this year I will have to vamp up my skills and show him how good I can be! You'll have to stay tuned for the upcoming season and pics of adventures!

Check out those mad skills!
