Stick a Needle in your Eye

Steve is really freaked out by any "procedure" having to do with eyes. He cannot watch me put my contacts in. He gets grossed out by people rubbing their eyes. We were watching House the other day, and there was a guy who needed some diagnostic test. When it came on that the guy way strapped to a table with a needle headed for his eye, Steve jumped up an yelled, "Oh, fuck no!" and took off upstairs.

When I got home after going to 2 different pharmacies to get Nana's prescriptions, I found the driveway TOTALLY shoveled and cleared. I told my mother this on the phone as I was pulling in. She begged me not to tell Steve about Nana's upcoming surgery because he was so nice to have shoveled.

Steve keeps telling me that he shovel(s) because, "2 plus 2 plus 2" equals a lot of shoveling. This morning, I told him, "2 plus 2 plus 6." We got a lot of snow. I also told him that Nana is having surgery on her eye on Thursday that involves "sticking a needle in her eye" to relieve the pressure that is building and causing her pain.

Poor Nana. I feel actually bad for her. This has to suck, a lot.

I don't want to live that long. She turned 90. Wow.
