Honest question, but do you not think your writing is good enough as is? I feel like if you're educated already you shouldn't need a service like this to be honest. I've seen your writing and grammar here on the forum, you seem well ahead of the curve lol.

I am, but sometimes I waiver on “person.” Also, will cut down on proofing it as well. First paper I submitted I got a “pass.” Since it’s online it’s pass fail. I read that the papers they’re VERY strict on.
 
I had my first eye exam in my existence yesterday morning. I told them I've never been to an eye doctor before. They asked if I drove. Yep.They didn't tell me much of what was going on. Did some eye tests reading from a chart up close and far away on a projector thing. She holds out a tissue for me with no explanation other than to blot my eyes with it if I needed to. She asks if she could use some eye drops with no explanation of why. I say okay. She puts in 2 different ones. Just some slight burning. More tests. Done. Off to a waiting room for 10 minutes until being put in a different room to be examined again. Excellent eye health he says. I can go up front and brag about it he said. Okay I guess.

I get sent to the front and was given a prescription for glasses (I can't read text far away very well and night driving is a horrible ordeal). They ask if I want some sunglasses. Of course I say no because I don't want to pay for more crap...why would I need them? I found out why really quickly. A 35 mile trip home of horror even with the sunglasses I had in the car. Why didn't one of the 4 morons that dealt with me explain this?

Anyway, 30 hours later my vision is worse than it was before. My right eye feels like it's been scratched. Bad headaches looking at screens of any kind. I can still see the vertical light pass in front of my eye every so often like a flashback. I'm beyond pissed off. Should my eye feel like this now? I couldn't even get glasses because I could not find my way around town.

Since I'm not an üntermenschen, and my eyes are like an eagles, I'm not going to give you a great answer to this... But, I'd think it'll get better in a few days?
These eye, snake oil medicine men are fairly known to prescribe glasses to ANYONE who goes to get an exam (they'd prob try to tell me I need them too if I went), but since you stated that you're basically Mr Magoo at this point you prob need them.

I say wait a few days, and if not better, then call on your hillbilly, woods dwelling neighbors and go Djingis Khan on the eye doctor store.

Depending on what they did, they should’ve recommended you have a ride home and or wore really good sunglasses outdoors not to damage your eyes.

The vision is better today, but my right eye is still stinging really bad like it's been scratched. I've had metal fragments stuck in there for days when I was younger from cutting off an exhaust on a car and it didn't hurt this bad.

I might have monkey pox.

It’ll go away. Your eyes are just really dilated. You’ll be fine in the morning.

Anyone here ever used that telehealth stuff? Even though I've been wearing a mask in public and the entire drive home after going out, I think I've gotten strep throat really bad. I'm guessing it was at the eye doctor almost 2 weeks ago. I never took my mask off at any point and changed it and washed my face with disinfectant wipes in the car afterward. 2 different people were shoving their fingers all around my eyes and getting in my face. Now I am pretty sick.

Just wondering if anyone's used the service and if it worked out? There's no way I'd trust going to a doctor qnd removing a mask qnd all that stuff if I got this sick from ALWAYS wearing a mask in public for the last 27 months. I just need antibiotics basically and wondering if they'd even prescribe them without torturing me in person.

That sucks.

But, are you implying that you should wear mask for good now even not withstanding covid? If so, your social life must be over, holy hell lol
 
Yeah, I guess it is pretty funny lol...

Why would I expect any other response here, especially from someone who's made jokes about someone having their leg amputated in the past.

Had a sore throat about a week ago followed by cold symptoms. Took Zicam and Vitamin C and mostly over it.

The symptoms with sore throat did hit hard and fast for a cold and I had a headache.

Jebuz, you got some insane memory lol
The one leg jokes was a leftover from wcg forum, and he(at least with our little crowd back then) had a laugh at it at that point, he never was a bitter little victim but was just one of us guys.

But okay, if I hurt your feelings (I did start with a somewhat sympathetic line though) I'll apologize.

My wife's done it for just about the same thing and they usually will prescribe meds without seeing you in person. They obviously can't get a good look in there to see what's going on.

Doctors and nurses know how to keep safe though. Only thing you have to worry about in a doc's office is all the people in the waiting room. Doctors and nurses know how to work around germs and how not to spread them.

Hmm...
What does this mean? Do amerikans feed other people's kids randomly?
If it implies that we don't get fed when we are at other kids houses when their families eat.. yeah, I think that was how it went lol. Either you just went home or the parents had talked to each other beforehand and you could get fed.

I don't think it was a matter of greed or hate of other people's kids, but more that it was considered rude to do without talking to the kids parents and it might be thought of as thinking they can't feed their own kids... Or that kids parents dinner plans got screwed idk.

Me and my wife usually just contact the kids parents before eating and ask if it's okay for them to eat with us... It was different when I grew up I guess lol
