I thought I'd post a photo of me in my specs, for posterity's sake. The fact that my glasses were wonky at the time of taking the photo (and I didn't realise it) just adds to my excitement at getting rid of them.
Two days left. I have to say, the excitement far far outweighs any nervousness.
I'm noticing the frames of my glasses a lot more than usual - as if I've become aware of them sitting on my face for the first time in years. How many times after surgery will I go to push them back up my nose? Will I reach for them first thing in the morning as I stumble bleary eyed out of bed?
What do I do with my glasses when I don't need them anymore? I don't think I'll throw them away. I'm a hoarder by nature, one of those 'well you never know if I might need it again' types. I'll probably keep them for the same reason people who lose weight keep their 'fat time trousers' to remind them of what life was once like. Although saying that, they probably keep them for motivation - to remind themself why they've opted for a healthier lifestyle. I can't think of a motivational reason for keeping my glasses. Except that keeping them would seem like a bad omen.
You know I never realised I was superstitious until now. My evidence: I refuse to cancel my contact lens prescription and direct debit until I've had the surgery. Don't ask me why.
