I CAN SEE!

I can SEE!
The best thing has happened. I am living without contacts and glasses!! I took a bold step and had lasik done. Although, I'm unique and different I had to have LASEK a more complicated form, but a fix in vision nonetheless.
I had already built myself up that I was going to go blind and that was it! I fretted for three whole days. Then, I said let me change my sunglasses without prescription so I'll have a reason to keep going.
Friday morning, a pill and a half of Valium I was lying a dark room. My heart beating faster than ever (I don't think it ever stopped) and then, my name was called. Its funny they give you a name tag so I guess they take the right person to the "operating room" that was the funny part.

So, here I go. I'm laying down and a massive amount of drops are overflowing in my eye. The Dr. comes in and he's just humming away. I'm thinking you are about to cut my eye and burn flesh, focus you should be focusing. The process was quick! I was in the room a total of 3 minutes! I'm escorted out of the room and I'm greeted with "CONGRATULATIONS" from all the office staff. I said, "Did I just have a baby?" What a unique way to walk out of an operating room that focus on your eyes.

Had some pain, but mostly pain free that was the good part because the scared me about the pain. They give you a bottle of pain pills so I'm thinking I'm in grave danger. Nope, took one the day home just to sleep through the day.

I wake up the next day and woo hoo I'm not searching for glasses!!! That is by the far the greatest thing ever. To see a TV in its clearest form. Exhilarating.

Saturday morning off to the Dr again, for a post op sort of thing. You know what??? This time I COULD SEE THE BIG LETTER "E"! Do you know how many years the top letter did NOT look like an E but you learn that its always an E so you can pretend. Whoa. Vision that you could not believe.

Better yet a 6,000 operation for only 2200.I had a friend who had an awesome deal and told me about it so I saved so much money.

It's like looking through life with a new pair of eyes :)
