Unexpected Perk

I have worn glasses or contacts since I was a freshmen in high school.... I had my 20th reunion in 2011, you do the math on how many years I have needed corrected vision. Two summers ago my family along with my brother's family went on a day trip to a Krause Springs, a spring feed swimming pool, waterfall and campground. I decided not to wear my contacts because I didn't want the hassle if I got water in my eyes or if they started to get dry, if you wear contacts you know the drill. Off we go, with me driving my family and not thinking a thing of it until we are on the way home and I made the comment to my husband that dang I could see pretty good with out my contacts. He however was a little worried since I was once again driving.... our brand new truck hahaha. Fast forward to this past September, and all that time I went with out my contacts. I thought "Hey maybe my 'older' eyes aren't so bad".... maybe I should have been wondering why but nope I didn't. Then September rolled around and my vision took a nose dive and I thought well I guess the honeymoon is over and I made an appointment for my eye doctor about the same time I did for my regular doctor. Funny how that all worked out. After getting the diagnosis I called my eye doctor back and talked to him. He is wonderful, he had me come in for a follow up with him to take a closer look at a few things. My eyesight went from negative lenses to positive, way positive. My vision has been on a roller coaster with all of this.  Things seem to have leveled out for now and guess what.... NO GLASSES!!! My vision was passing with out needing correction. So I will take this perk and be happy with it! And I want to give a shout out to Dr. Michael Moses because he has been great to me through all of this and he has not charged me a single penny for the last three visits, since he just calls the "follow ups", I feel like I owe him so much.
