Lasik surgery worked!

Angie, PM me if you want info and Janet, you too. Anyone else, I'll be more than happy to talk to you about it.

It only takes about 1/2 hour between the eye test where the surgeon maps out what he wants to do, then they put anesthetic drops in your eye and you feel absolutely nothing. The doctor does something to your eye - I didn't ask what. They leave you for a few minutes to let the anesthetic really set in. Then they put something in your eye to keep it open - you don't feel it because your eye is anesthetized. Then the doctor does his thing, and then you're done. You can have a Valium if you have a ride home. I didn't get mine, but you can bet I got it to take home! You have to wear dark glasses and they put an eye patch on until the next day when went back for a check-up. I was able to take the patch off in the morning, so I drove. There are some drops for a few days and that's it.

When I got home, I played with Max for a while, took my valium and slept for a few hours, then got up and went online, watched TV, etc. (You're not supposed to, but I was fine).

And now...no more glasses. The glasses had picked out before are really gorgeous - Bulgaria rimless for about $325.00 for the frames alone. I get money from my insurance, but still.
