IT'S A 50'S THING: #29

Hope, Scott and I had eye appointments yesterday. Hope has 20/20 vision and very young eyes. Scott and I, not so much.

Dr. Klos told me I have the beginnings of cataracts. What? Wait. I haven't even achieved senior citizen status yet. This can not be true. I am not old enough, right?

Not to worry, he says, they won't bother you for another 10 years. Really. Why is he telling me this now? I have 10 good years left on these eyes. Now I have to start worrying about my eyes 10 years out.

Scott . . . doesn't bother him in the least. He'll continue his merry life without thinking twice about the cataracts luming in his future.

I am getting old. Dislike.
