Wait, What Day is it?

Last week I thought I had a contact stuck in my eye. After years of wearing contacts, this was a first. My girly parts could fall on the ground,  my skin could sluff off, I could go deaf and be fine. Losing my sight has always been a HUGE fear for me. I made an appointment with an Optometrist  and Mr. Bernie drove me to the Eye Doctor.

It turns out that I just irritated my eye looking for a non existent contact. While I was there I got an eye exam. I was so glad that I did, as my eyes have really changed in a couple years. I hate the question, “Does this look clearer on number one or two?”  I always feel like I’m going to answer wrong and will have contacts that make me go cross eyed.  It turns out I did a good job and was given a new set of contacts to try out. Before I left, they made a follow up appointment for Tuesday, April 10.  I even wrote it in my calendar.

Yesterday was not the 10th. I was hell bent that my appointment was Monday at 9:30am. Don’t ask me why. I still don’t understand why I thought that. My Mom’s birthday was on Sunday the 8th. So I should have known that Monday would be the 9th. I left work and drove up to the Dr.’s office. I presented myself to the receptionist. She looked at me funny and looked through all the Dr.s charts for the day. She asked who I was there to see. I told her the name and she replied, “The Dr. isn’t here on Monday’s. What is your name and I’ll look you up?” I gave it to her and she said, “Noooooo,  your appointment is for tomorrow at 9:30am”  Arrggggggg!!

I went back to work and told Mr. Bernie that I filled in my calendar wrong.  I must have put the wrong dates in my fill in the date book. He looked at my book, looked at the calendar and just laughed. They did match. I didn’t write the dates in wrong. I just had my way of thinking all messed up.

I’m going to try going to the Eye Doctor today. Wish me luck!

  • LOL, I hope it went well in the end.

  • I have had that happen to me… I don’t know why, but I always goof up my eye dr’s appointments. I wrote about my last visit… http://www.feelingbeachie.com/time-after-time

    I have also done the same thing to my eye – fishing around for a contact that wasn’t there (and also had one stuck in the back of my eye). I don’t miss those days… I did lasik a few years back…

  • I think you need some R&R girl!
    I’ve had the opposite happen. Receptionist called me to remind of my appointment…that happened the Friday before. She said “This is to remind you of your appt. on Friday”.
    I said “Um, what appt.?”
    She said “You made an appt. for this Friday.”
    I said “I just had my appt. LAST Friday.”
    She paused…..then said “OMG, I’m sorry, someone printed out the wrong appt. schedule. I’m SO sorry!”
    We had a good laugh. Happens to the best of us!

    • Bernie:

      Oh, that is funny. Better to be told you have an appointment and don’t really have one. That would have made me chuckle too.

  • As someone who was born with crossed eyes, wore an eye patch for a lazy eye and at age four had surgery to correct my crossed eyes, I will tell you that you don’t want crossed eyes. Now remember, appointment, TODAY.

    • Bernie:

      Oh, wow. I have a lazy eye as well. The Dr wanted Mom and Dad to tie a string to the door knob and have me stare at it for an hour a day. They refused, afraid I would go cross eyed. So it just wanders at will.
