celticdragonflyI'm back. Jamie has repaired glasses. We went and got lunch while she was working on them.
Maggie was my sweet helper and walked in carrying the case (with the popped out lens) in one hand and the broken glasses in the other, while I was getting Jamie out of the van. The lady there was all "what did he DO to them?" but said yes, she'd fix them right away, fix if possible, replace if necessary. So off we went. Came back an hour later and they were ready.
(Oh,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
patgund, I talked to her about different types of glasses. She confirmed yeah, this is probably best. I mentioned your suggestion of plastic - she said "no, metal bends, but plastic snaps.")
The guy who was there then, who fitted him last time, was quite impressed that this time Jamie sat still to have them put on and did not throw a fit. We talked some about him fighting them, which is improving some, but yeah, he's been rough on them. The guy said "Yeah, he's a boy." He also said "Things will get better. Might be next week - might be three months from now" in a resigned tone of voice, making it clear that yeah, they won't be surprised to see me again.
I have been reminded byfordprfct that yes, Jamie's old nickname WAS "Thumper the Tank Baby". For a reason.
I hope he learns how much they HELP him, stops wanting to destroy them, and gets used to them.
