the good news is that I can see!

Three weeks of glasses. Done.

17 seconds of lasik in one eye and 20 seconds in the other to restore my vision. Check.


Some insanity along the way. Of course.


Guess whose Valium didn't work before the dr started digging around in her eye?

I was given a Valium about 30 minutes before the procedure but it made me a bit hyper. When I was being prepped, I told the nurse about it and she couldn't understand why "the edge wasn't taken off".

Lady, 30mg of my happy pills daily don't take the edge off (and a Valium on top of it made me a bit nutty)

Apparently, the dr was on a time crunch so they kept adding numbing drops to my eyes. And apparently, I'm a fighter. Because my resistance to the instrument that was trying to be jacked in my eyes left me w/this....

The dr kept telling me, you're a fighter. If he said it once, he said it 47 times.

Then he said, I bet you were fun during your c-section.

I told him that I was fine during my c-section.

He said, I bet you kicked your OB in the head.

Yes, he did.

The procedure was done and I was taken to sit in a recliner in the recovery room.

And I could see.

Now, I can't face makeup for four days and eye makeup for two weeks.

And really, is anyone going to notice??



It is what it is.
