Pedes,
I know a great many of you have faith and pray, and so if you are amongst that subset of members of this forum, I would kindly and humbly request prayers for my wife who is currently in a 3-hour surgery to hopefully remove an employee eradicates cancer from her body which is currently in her thyroid. It will be a full thyroidectomy, waiting she'll have to be on replacement thyroid hormones for the rest of her life, but that's a small price to pay for her otherwise healthy and cancer-free.
( I joked with her and said that the cost of a lifetime of thyroid medicine which is about $4 a month is way cheaper than the cost of my glasses which is about $250 every couple of years. Lol)
I have said a prayer for your wife and family. As a side note about glasses, if you know your prescription, clearly.ca or (.com if you're American) is AMAZING for affordable glasses and contacts. My husband spent 30.00 on his glasses compared to my 400.00. I'll never go back.
