Voila--It's Magic! Or is it?
As I was reminiscing through old pictures on my computer, I came across the one you see above. Just a few days before being diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, and I am wearing glasses. Why that might not seem like a big deal to you--just know that I previously had 20/20 vision. All of these 'strange' things started to occur...one of them being that my vision was completely blurry! I was a senior in college, and my commute was about forty-five minutes to school. I woke up one morning, and could not see! I, being the dork I am, had to make it to school--no ifs, and, or buts about it!! I hate excuses, and I wasn't about to start using them. I borrowed my husband's glasses to give me a clearer view of the world.
Later that day, I went to the eye doctor--the one in themall. I told them how I woke up and couldn't see! Without even thinking of asking me, "Have you been checked for diabetes?", they simply gave me a prescription for glasses. And, voila...an hour later, I could 'magically' see again.
Oh, and then a week later, I was diagnosed with Type 1. The sugar coating over my eyes decreased, and my vision came back {Voila again!}.
I went back to this particular vision store after being released from the hospital. In my hand was the glasses, receipt, and hospital discharge papers.
"I'd like to return these," I proclaimed to the woman. I continued without giving her the embarassment of asking why. "Turns out I can see afterall. I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, as you can see here" [pointing to papers].
I think I have the best reason for a return...hands down.
