Doctor's Orders

I had my first over sixty eye exam today. "Your eyes look perfect," the doctor said. "Especially for a woman of your age-- no dry eye, glaucoma, floaters, or cataracts. And no sign of macular degeneration, which is more common in fair people like us." She seemed genuinely impressed.

I gulped and looked around for some wood to knock. Who knew these were things I needed to worry about? "Thank you," I managed.

"You're welcome," she said. "Keep exercising and eating those vegetables, and I'll see you next year."

Oh, I will. I certainly will.
