I can see! I can see!

Well some of you know by now that I had LASIK surgery done on my eyes last week. I can honestly tell you that it has changed my life...for the better obviously. If any of you are thinking about it, don't think. Just do it. My problem: overthinking (big surprise). Anyway, Patrick tells me that for my anniversary present he wants to give me the surgery. Well not GIVE me the surgery, but purchase it for a doctor to perform. So we call for a consultation and they tell me I'm a prime candidate for LASIK! Yay! I tell them that we will be going on vacation at the beginning of August...will this be a problem? They tell me that maybe we'll work it out during my next appointment. The next appointment is the following week, and it involves dilating my eyes so the doctor can see if I have thick corneas. (which for those of you who don't know anything about LASIK, is a good thing.) Anyway, good news! I have super thick corneas! Just what a girl always wants to hear! So I'm getting ready to make an appointment for the surgery. I'm thinking maybe in a couple of weeks, or something. They tell me, okay you're going to have the surgery Monday. (it's now Thursday) Um....

I've wanted to have the surgery for so long, and I've been dependent on glasses and contacts since I was 9 or 10 years old, so I didn't give it a second thought. (of course Patrick was at my side the whole time to "encourage" me to get the surgery!)

Anyway, the surgery was over in 10 minutes. It's weird. In true Patrick fashion we have it all on tape with pictures as well. If you want to see it, just ask...you know he'll show it to you! Must he document EVERYTHING?

They gave me a DVD of my surgery from the machine's point of view.
