Routine Eye Exam

So me and the wifey go to the Eye doctor yesterday to get our eyes checked and to order new glasses/contacts. They have this new thing called OptoMap, where they take a detailed image of your eyeball that they can use to detect all sorts of things with. I go in first, do the eye test, and have a look at my eyeball. Everything is completely normal with me.

Next the wife comes in, does her eye test, etc etc, then we take a look at her eye. Unlike me she has a problem with the right eye. Turns out she has a Detached Retina, and if it goes untreated for long, can result in her going blind in that eye. So after the doctor makes a few phone calls we rush over to see an Opthomologist to get a second opinion. He agrees with the other doctor and now she has to get a mini surgery done to correct the problem.

This involves having her eye frozen and a bubble of gas injected into the eyeball that will float up and push the Retina back in place. Sound simple enough, but there is a catch. She has to keep her head tilted to the side for 10 days. Yes, thats TEN days. I can't even imagine myself being able to do that for that long. She goes in on Tuesday next week to get it done and I pray for her upcoming suffering to be as easy as possible.

In other news, I was sick pretty much all week so all I did was sleep lol. I didn't play much FFXI but I did finally beat FFXII. It was a very good game, even if the ending was kinda crappy. I don't know, maybe my expectations are too high now since the last few FF games had such amazing endings. Next up is a game my wife bought me for Christmas called Rogue Galaxy. I played it for about an hour yesterday and it seems pretty fun so far.

The Wisconsin and Hawaii elections are today and I expect Obama to take both states, even though the polls have them neck and neck in Wisconsin. I think that by March 5th we'll have our winner of the Democratic nomination decided even if technically they are both still alive. John McCain has the Republican nomination all but won right now and the Dems don't want to fall too far behind by dragging out their nomination a long time. I have a feeling however that Hillary won't concede easily even if it is in the best interest of the party. She doesn't play well with others which is one of the reasons I don't want her in office. If you think Bush is bad then you won't want anything to do with Hillary.
