I can see!
Well, we're back in Pazardjik with Deyan's grandparents. Today we went to the eye doctor. I haven't had my eyes tested since I was 15, at which point I was diagnosed with astigmatism. I haven't worn glasses in years, even though I could use them. Deyan's last exam was 4 years ago, so we figured it was time and it's also much cheaper here. It cost $6 for the exam, $14/lens which have special "photosynthesis" properties (something about tinting in sunlight, not sure if I totally understand) . I got 2 pairs of frames, 1 cost $9 and the other $45. So, not bad really. Oh, and this is actually Leva, the Bulgarian currency which is roughly 80cents CDN. It was interesting trying on glasses and I chose some pretty funky ones, thanks to Deyan's prodding. He says they're pretty stylish, but it will definitely take some getting used to for me!Thankfully, the exam uses numbers instead of letters for identifying your vision. The Bulgarian alphabet is Syralic, and although I know all the letters, it could have been rather confusing! For instance, B in Bulgarian is pronounced V, P=R, H=N, and so on. Numbers are the same, as long as you know what they're called, which I do.
By the way, Deyan's recovery from his dental surgery has gone extremely well. He's eating normally, has very little swelling, and the pain doesn't seem to be bad at all. He's not looking forward to going through it again in a couple of weeks, but he's happy with how smooth things have gone so far.
Tomorrow is Deyan's birthday! We are going to Sofia, the capital, to pick up Mitch at the airport with Deyan's uncle. Then Deyan, Simeon & I will stay and spend the afternoon/night with his dad. We will also probably meet his sister who is only 9 months old. Ionka arrives the next day and Deyan's cousin will pick her up and drive all of us back to Pazardjik. I'm sure things will get busy after that! Happy day! :)
