I'm finally doing it!
After years of wanting to... but, no I can't... but I want to! But, no, I just can't... (you get the picture) I am having Lasik surgery. Which is kind of a big deal for me, because I am really weird about my eyes. I'm afraid they're going to start doing their thing and I'm just going to punch them upside the head or something. I've managed to achieve an outstanding intolerance to my contacts though and can't wear them but a few hours a day, if that. This is usually followed by a nice headache and it's becoming all too annoying. They're very funny at the Lasik place though. They advertise the $599 and eye, of course. But once you get up there, they tell you for that price they use, and I quote, a "vibrating razor blade" to make the flap. Or, they can use a nice laser for only pennies more per day (a lot of pennies). And, I'm like... you keep that vibrating razor blade away from my eyes! Even though I'm pretty sure it's all a ploy to get me to pay much more than $599 an eye... the threat of vibrating razor blades to my eye balls will cause me to fall for it every time.

Oh Brad you will seriously love the results!!! Don't be nervous! And I don't think I even know what they used on me....I didn't ask! lol! But I will tell you something that would have helped me during the actual process. When I went, I was the second surgery for the afternoon. So while patient number one was getting his procedure done (which takes literally a minute or two) I was getting my drugs. But during the actual surgery, they tell you not to blink. Yeah right. I kept "trying" to blink and I was getting really freaked out thinking that I was screwing up the surgery. NO! That clamp holds your eyelids WIDE open! After my surgery I was able to watch the person after me getting his done on the TV screen at the doctors office. Had I been able to watch that I would have been so much more relaxed during the surgery. You will be fine. Greg and I have both had it and wouldn't have changed it for anything!!!!!
