--------------------------
Chapter 2
Kim sat there dumbfounded at the answer she had received, "B-blind? As in can't see anything anymore? As in no more sports? No more cheerleading? No more missions? No more…" Kim started to shoot out questions and go historical putting her hands on either side of her head.
Dr. Crane put his hand on her shoulder saying, "Easy Kim, easy calm down it's alright."
"It's all right? How can you say that? I'm going to go blind and I wont be able to do anything I like anymore and…and…" Kim started to cry.
Andrea came up to her daughter hugging her, "It's okay Kimmie you don't need to cry." She thought for a minute holding her sobbing daughter. "Dr. Crane can't she have surgery to fix the problem?" Kim stopped crying at the question and looked towards Dr. Crane.
"Well…it is possible…but it's very risky and it could cause you to go blind even sooner then expected…" He answered while rubbing the back of his neck.
Kim pulled out a handkerchief and dapped her eyes before saying, "S-so Dr. Crane…h-how long do you think I have till I go completely blind?"
"Well if you ask me you probably could last at least… a year but that's just an estimate because of the way it showed up yesterday, but your sight will deteriorate until it is completely gone." He thought for a second then said, "Though it would be better then getting surgery because for one the risks of making you blind earlier then we estimate and also the cost would be pretty high and also there is no guaranty that it will make your vision better then what it is now, but that's all up to you guys?" he looked towards Mrs. Possible.
Mrs. Possible thought for a moment seeming to weigh their options. She finally said, "Well…if you ask me I think Kim should decide what she wants." She looked towards Kim who was still in her arms.
Kim sat there a moment thinking then, "Dr. Crane how much time do I have exactly?"
Dr. Crane looked about dumbfounded, "Didn't you hear me Kim? I said an estimate of a year."
Kim then realized what she said and corrected it, "Sorry…I meant how much time do I have to get the surgery before it wont help anymore?" she had a light smile on.
"Oh that…well it really depends on how long till the rest of the retina tears and how big it becomes but in the way it came for you and the way it looked to me, so I estimate about two to three weeks but that's just ruff." He replied after a quick laugh.
Kim thought for a bit then said, "So I have at least two weeks to think about this?" He nodded. She pondered for a bit and after a few minutes finally decided, "I guess…I'll wait out the two weeks before I make my final decision."
"You sure abut this Kimmie?" Mrs. Possible asked.
"Defiantly, though I think I'm going to need glasses for the time being." Kim answered with a half smile.
"Well that's why you came to see me now isn't it?" Dr. Crane said with a smile, "Though I also think you should take a visit to CIB for some stuff because glasses will not be enough to get you around and help you work." He wrote something in the notepad and handed it to Mrs. Possible, "I'm going to make a copy of my notes so you can take with you so they know what kind of lens you need and also when you go to CIB." He started walking towards the door when Kim asked, "Umm…Dr. Crane what exactly is CIB?"
"Oh that? It stands for The Colorado Institute for the Blind." He then walked out of the room turning the lights back on before he left.
Mrs. Possible took Kim's hand and they walked out to the reception area where Dr. Crane met them, "Here's a copy of my notes you can show them and I also called ahead and Dr. Drane will be expecting you, oh and one more thing those eye drops will make looking at any bright lights hurt like crazy so I suggest before you walk outside put a hat or sunglasses on or both but don't worry it will only last for three hours tops." He waved goodbye and the Possible women walked out the door.
-------------------
When they got to the ground floor Mrs. Possible looked out the glass doors and said, "Hmm it's pretty bright outside Kim dose it hurt to look out there?" she looked at Kim and Kim looked out the see through doors and winced right away, "Umm…ya it is a bit bright, actually it hurts." Mrs. Possible had a quick giggle at this then said, "Here sit down for a moment and I'll go get the hat and sunglasses form the car." Kim nodded and sat in a chair while her mother went to the car.
While she was waiting Kim decided to give Wade the news. She pulled out what looked like a blue GameBoy and pushed the red button. Seconds later the screen showed an African American boy wearing a blue shirt sitting in front of a computer. This boy is known as Wade Load the resident super genius.
He looked and smiled though Kim couldn't see it that well, "Hey Kim what up?"
"Hey Wade…umm look we sort of have a problem…" Kim said sheepishly.
"Problem? What kind of problem?" Wade asked suspiciously.
"Well…um Wade I don't know how to tell you this but…I'm sort of going…blind." She answered hesitantly.
Wade looked at her for a second then he started trembling. At first Kim thought he was going o cry, but that assumption was quickly lost when he started smiling and then started to laugh uncontrollably and he finally fell backwards in his chair. He got back up after a few minutes and finally said, "HAHA…Kim that has got to be the best joke I have ever heard." He then looked at his friends face and noticed that she was not laughing and that she had her mission face on.
"Oh your not joking." Realization finally stuck him and he yelled, "HOLY SNAP YOUR GOING BLIND?"
She just nodded and then heard him say, "Oh my god! What…how…" he stammered trying to figure what to say.
"Calm down Wade it's alright…well actually I went crazy when the doctor told me but ya." Kim replied with a semi-sober expression.
"How can you say that? Your going to go blind! That means no more sports, no more cheerleading, no more seeing and most important no more missions!" Wade was going crazy jabbering on and on and saying random things.
"WADE!" this got his attention and he stopped and looked at Kim, "I…know." She looked down sadly.
It was silent for a long time neither one know what to say. The silence was broken when Kim was tapped on the shoulder. She turned around and was barely able to notice her mother. "You alright Kimmie?" she asked with a heartfelt look.
"Y-ya I'm okay, Wade I'll talk to you later." She didn't give him a chance to answer; she closed the link and pocketed the device. Her mom gave her the hat and sunglasses, then she took her hand and guided her to the car. They left and started for the Optometrist to get some glasses.
--------------------
They walked into the Optometrist and Mrs. Possible took a look around. There were a few display cases which held different kinds of eyeglass frames. There were also many other objects in the room like magnifiers and other such things. She then walked towards the receptionist Kim holding her hand and following.
The receptionist looked up and smiled at the approaching women, "Good morning ladies how can I help you?" She was an average sized women with light blond hair a bit short of her shoulders, with dark blue eyes and she looked pretty built with almost the same figure as Kim.
"Good morning, um I was told to come here for my daughter to get some glasses um the doctor said he phoned ahead." Mrs. Possible greeted cheerfully and then hesitated a bit since this is her first time being in a place like this.
The lady turned to her computer and typed for a second, "Name?"
"Possible, Kimberly." She answered.
The lady cracked a smile realizing who was standing in front of her, "Well, well, the famous teen hero Kim Possible. Now I would have never guessed you'd ever have to come here."
Kim smiled, "Neither would I."
She finished typing, "Dr. Drane is expecting you please follow me oh and my name is Cassandra Evans." She said as she got out of her chair and walked towards a corridor motioning for them to follow.
Seconds later they were in front of a door. Cassandra knocked on it then she opened it, "Dr. Drane Mrs. Possible is here." She motioned for them to go in and Mrs. Dr Possible led her daughter into the room.
Dr. Drane was a tall American man with dark brown hair and brown eyes. "Ah hello Kim Possible and Dr. Possible welcome." He came up and shock Mrs. Possible hand then went to shake Kim's but he realized when he held his hand for a few seconds she did not see it or if she did not very well. "My apologies my name is Dr. Carl Drane."
Kim understood the meaning and put her hand out and it was soon taken by the doctor and shock. "Sorry about that Dr it's a bit hard to see right now." She replied sheepishly.
"Hmm a bit?" he chuckled for a second, "My dear girl if it was a bit you may not have to be here."
"Alright then please sit down." He motioned to some chairs. After they were seated he said, "Now Dr. Crane told me about the condition of your predicament and has sent me a copy of what he thinks you'll need, though if you will I would like to see for myself, will that be alright?" he looked towards Andrea who nodded in response, "Alright then Kim if you please?"
She put her hand out and he led her into a very small…room per say but all it had a computer on the far end with a chair in front of it and another device Kim didn't know because it was all blurry. "Okay sit down right here oh and I'm going to need you to take your had and sunglasses off."
Kim hesitated for a sec but surrendered when she noticed the lights dim. She handed the items to her mother who was standing behind her. She guided her to the chair and sat down.
"Okay Kim I'm going to take a picture of the back of your eyes but the light will be really intense and I know you've had the eye drops but your going to have to bear with it, I hope that's alright?"
"Eh if I gotta, I gotta." Kim replied shrugging her shoulders.
He smirked, "That's good because after the first flash you may feel dizzy." She nodded, "Okay then now put your chin up against here," he tapped a part of the device in front of where Kim was sitting. She first put her hand against it then moved closer and placed her chin in the right place. "Alright we'll do the right eye first," something on the other side moved in front of her right eye, "This will take the picture so all you need to do is look straight you got it?"
"Seems simple enough." She replied sarcastically.
"You say that know, just wait till after the picture." He then moved back towards the computer and typed for a second then said, "Now just looks straight and don't blink." Then all of a sudden a flash happened right in front of her eye. It looked like it was as bright as the sun, it left spots flying in her vision and the doctor was right it did make her feel a bit dizzy.
"Ooooch…aaaahhh that's a bright light." Kim complained.
"Ah see I told you, hmm maybe the girl who can do anything can look straight into the sun without hurting her eyes?" he laughed lightly at this.
"Eh you're a real comedian aren't you Dr. Drane?" Kim asked holding the side of her head.
"Meh that's just me saying hello ask Cassandra oh and you can call me Carl." He waved his hand, "Now for the other eye." This made Kim groan and it made Mrs. Possible laugh.
--------------------
After the second picture Dr. Drane let Kim put her sunglasses back on and paged for Cassandra to come over with one of the inurns. When they got there Cassandra came in along with a girl a bit taller then Kim with platinum blond hair that was in a ponytail and dark sky blue eyes. When she walked in she noticed Kim and had a questioning look.
She walks towards Kim and taps her on the shoulder, "Hello Kim Possible isn't it?" she questioned.
"Yes and who might you be?" Kim asked kindly.
"Uh I knew it, wow who'd of guessed that the first time I meet thee Kim Possible is at work." She said excitedly, "Oh sorry my name is Emily King, I've heard a lot about you from my sister," she shock Kim's hand.
"Emily King…wait sister? You mean Tara King is your sister?" Kim questioned.
"Yup that's her nice gal." she smiled.
"Huh Tara never mentioned having a sister…" Kim wondered.
"Oh that's because I just got back to Middleton from university…" she was interrupted, "Um Emily if your finished I'd like you to take a look at these." Dr. Drane said with a small grin, "Opps we can talk more later nice meeting you Kim, coming Dr." she walked off and went to the room where Kim took the pictures.
---------------
Dr. Drane showed Emily the pictures of Kim's eyes and then went back out to Kim and her mother. They were sitting in the chairs just talking when he came back. He cleared his voice to get there attention. "Well Mrs. Possible I've taken a look an think I know the condition of your eyes a bit better now." He then motioned to the door, "Now let's go back to the main room where we keep all the lenses.
After the short walk back to the main room Dr. Drane showed them a few pairs that not only looked pretty stylish but were also best suited for the problem. After a few minutes of looking through Kim choose a pair that appealed to her. Black frame on top with rectangular frames that curved on the ends to make it more oval, and under the frames keeping them in place were a kind of wire. All and all they looked pretty good and the insurance worked well with it.
"Now there is a good pair I'll just get a second pair and cases and some other things be right back." He then went into another room.
Cassandra and Emily came back and Emily talked to Kim while Mrs. Possible was signing a few forms when Dr. Drane came back with everything. Along with the second pair of glasses there were two hard cases, two cleaning cloths and two clip on sunglasses. They signed them off and Kim put one of the two pairs on happy that she was able to see at least a bit better.
"Finally things are at least better then they were." Kim said squinting for a second then relaxing.
"Well that's all we'll need for now here Kimmie, thank you Dr well keep in touch." She took the copy of the form she needed and checked to see if Kim wound need help walking.
"No thanks mom I think I can handle it till we get outside, nice meeting you Emily say hi to Tara for me." She gave her a quick hug, "I'll tell her and see you around I expect you'll be back?" she returned the hug, "Ya probably." They waved goodbye and the two Possible women headed to the elevators.
When they got to the outside the eye drops were still affecting a bit so Mrs. Possible guided her to the car and they were off again.
