PMR is expensive!

Expensive illness. I’ve lost 2 contacts so far...$80 each. I think it’s related to some “fine motor” thing at midnight. I take them out-immediately loose them in a tiny bathroom and after 2 hours of searching - no luck. It must be the PMR!!! Where do they go? Even St. Anthony can’t help.

I’ve only done that the next morning after several martinis.

I really recommend the daily disposable ones, for comfort, hygiene and it doesn’t matter if you lose them, which you will never do again.

Apparently mine are not a ‘common’ type. Special corrections.

Mine are varifocal - they can be quite complex prescriptions. I’ve had nightclub lights put on to find one in the distant past when I went to such places.

If it’s appropriate put a nylon stocking over the end of the vacuum cleaner nozzle and hopefully catch it that way. I have saved small earrings or backs of earrings that way.

Thanks. I’ll try that next time. (I’m sure there’ll be a next time.)

Bummer... I lose my glasses (amongst other things) which is even more frustrating as they are MUCH bigger!!!!!
