Have ya gotten the new glasses yet?....see better?....

 

[CntryBoy777]

Having trifocals, I do understand the "adjustment" period....hope things "balance out" for ya soon!!....

You'll get it Barb. After a bit you'll unconsciously be adjusting your eyes or head position.

I have the progressive lenses and yes, looking out to the sides can get very fuzzy and the depth perception is terrible. Walking down steps is very difficult for me. I usually change my glasses and wear a "distance only" pair on the tractor so when I look out the corner of my eyes to see the rake and such, it is clear and not distorted. And I have to take all my glasses off to read because the progressives cause headaches when I read with them. I am not wearing any glasses now with the laptop; it is literally in my lap and is about 18 inches away from my face at least. The glasses make me tilt my head up to look through the bottom and it gives me headaches and I still can't see as clearly as I do without. Real closeup fine stuff is not quite as clear as it used to be, like threading a needle.... and looking at coins for my coin collection seeing the "D or P" is not always as clear as I would like.... I will use a magnifying glass for that if I am not sure.
But overall, it is nicer than having to constantly change glasses. I did have bifocals and mostly liked them better than the progressives, but in the barns to see cow numbers the progressives give me more flexibility to see things at several different distances.

P.S. your place is very nice.

If I want to see anything clearly I need to put my glasses on. Astigmatism you know. Doesn't matter how close something is.

and the depth perception is terrible.

That has not been a problem for me with progressives. Probably because I've never had depth perception and never will Probably easier to "adapt" to when it has never been different.

Where are the pictures of the pigs????

I feel for you there. My parents apparently just went from 60 chickens to less than 15 because of a fox family they're trying to kill off. And my mom is worried her precious goose army and muscovies are next. I hope you get those vermin.

Seems like the foxes are having a banner year!!!!! Lots of us are seeing/dealing with them. We have to move the cornish pen as the guys are coming to start the "road"/drive up to where the cell tower is going to be built and my son said he thinks they are going to clear it out more there by the entrance.... so I will be moving them down closer to the fence. They are going to be dropping trees and he said they will want to drop them near where the pen is so that to move it closer to the fence so they won't hit them as they don't want to hit the fence.
Not complaining..... but the wild black raspberries are almost ready..... nearly full size and then will ripen..... all through that area.... OH WELL.... w need the road for the tower worse than I need the raspberries.....
If they are doing all that disturbance, then hopefully the fox leaves the area.... or at least stays away during the day so I can turn the meat birds out for some "scratching around"

Is the warmer weather a bit kinder to your knees?....is all the extra use of the ankle gaining strength?.....when ya get frustrated with it....put the boot on, take a few steps....and remember the "mountain ya have climbed" in a short period of time....certain "proof" that it is and does get Better.....
