So I went to the eye doctor this morning because I have to have my eyes checked once a year now. Two years ago my rheumatologist put me on a medication that helps inflammation, but can cause damage to the eyes. To keep getting it prescribed (and it does help) I have to have my eyes checked once a year. Anyway, I went to pay, and suddenly felt sick. I didn’t have a check from my dad for it (I don’t have $150 extra dollars). I told her that, and she said, but it’s just four dollars! Apparently, the good hearted people of Oklahoma voted to expand Medicaid to allow vision coverage! Not everything is covered, of course, but exams are! I was so thankful. And, my eyes were not negatively affected by that medicine either. Any good news lately?

That is very good news. Good news..hmm. I thought I had to pay 80 dollars for a bill due next month, but it turned out to be 50. Gas is a bit lower today at the station nearest me.

Those are both good news, for sure. It would be nice if they covered more, but even just the exam is helpful because those can be expensive. No good news that I can think of...

Glad your eyes are well and glad you could afford the visit.
