It's a blurry world out there!

First of all, sorry that I scared you Crystal! (I wrote on twitter that I may be going blind and didn't think through the fact that it sounded so serious...)

But seriously, my eyesight is getting really bad. I have been wearing glasses since I was five years old so my eyesight has never been good. I was one of those nerdy kids with thick glasses hanging on a string in elementary school. However, in the last couple months it seems to be getting worse and this week it is driving me crazy! I can't seem to focus on anything that is even remotely close to me. This is really horrible for me because my drug of choice is reading, I can't live without it. Today I was trying to read something and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't focus. I took my contacts out and put my glasses on, it didn't help. I kept rubbing my eyes trying to get the blurriness out, it didn't help. I repeatedly shut my eyes really tight and them opened them really wide, it didn't work. Nothing works and it is so frustrating that I want to scream!

Seriously frustrating...

Maybe I am just getting old...

My goal is to find an English speaking optometrist this week...

I don't want to be an alarmist, but sudden vision change like you described can be a symptom of diabetes. I would get your blood sugar checked as well as your eyes. That's how Shawn found out he was diabetic - he suddenly needed new glasses.
