Happy birthday to you Shannon! 🥳💐I too have experienced the benefits of wearing two pairs of glasses at once… You look great. It could become a Thing! All the very best for your upcoming trip. I’m glad you have some support for you and Sophie while there. You have a heck of a lot of your plate - you always do - and you’re the bravest most hard-working person I know. Sending my very best wishes to you 💐

I’m not sure if you’ve considered it, but getting glasses (even thicker ones with bifocals) is way cheaper at Zenni. It’s what I do, and I also have very bad nearsightedness. Best of luck on your upcoming trip! Although it’s stressful, it will be worth it. And happy early birthday! My birthday is tomorrow, and it’s weird to be turning 40. I hope you continue to keep on the path of doing the compression and taking the meds. I’m so sorry it’s so expensive; it shouldn’t be like that! But you are going to feel the difference in your health by doing the things you know work (albeit slowly) for Lipo-lymphedema. Thirty years is a long time for a disease to go untreated! And will definitely take a long time for your body to heal. But it will ♥️

Thank you! Yeah, I'm trying to figure out how to use a device like Zenni since I need to see an eye doctor. America's Best offers the free eye exam when you buy your glasses there. So I'll try to sort that out soon.

I hope you have had a very good birthday! I know, 40 is a bit of weird one 😅 🎂 🥳

Shannon, you might want to consider bifocals for driving, and separate bifocals for computer work. The latter would be a different prescription you'd wear when working/reading. So much less eye strain! Have the bifocal line raised a bit if possible. Hope this helps.
