I did it! I actually got LASKIK done! I can hardly believe it because I have been hoping to have this Procedure done for years. YEARS. And now? It's all done! I can see without glasses or contacts-it almost seems too good to be true.
On Friday Jon came home early from work and we drove to San Jose so I could get my eyes zapped by lasers. I made the mistake of not reading the waiver until the day of surgery-Jon read it to me as I drove to the doctor that day. Turns out, getting lasers shot in to your eye does have some inherent risks-who knew?! We arrived a bit early and sat in the car as Jon finished up a work call. He hung up and I looked at him and asked, "Am I crazy?! Is this reckless? Is this nuts?" To which Jon assured me that it wasn't-I was improving my life!

Here we are sitting in the parking lot considering my sanity

We went inside and checked me in, confirmed my name and then I took a sedative...which I am almost certain was a sugar pill. Jon then toyed with the idea of watching after the nurse offered. We then came to a decision together that he shouldn't watch because we needed him to drive us home...and I wouldn't be terribly comfortable with the idea of him passing out and then hopping in the car to drive us home.

So they took me back-hair netted me up and prepped me for the lasers. The surgeon had flamenco music playing as he did his magic on my eyes which I found kinda funny-they really did play music during surgeries-just like nip tuck! I think the whole process was a bit shocking on my system-it didnt hurt at all but it was weird. If there is something in your eye you usually? Close it. If you are trying to get all zen you? Close your eyes. If you are scared you? Close your eyes. All of these things were happening except for the closing of the eyes-its weird I tell ya!

The whole procedure was about 20 minutes long and I was bandaged up and out the door soon there after....I did need a juice box because I was a bit out of it. I then went home where I was to keep my eyes closed for the rest of the day.  I listened to podcasts and drifted in and out of sleep and Jon woke me only to feed me pizza and a beer-bless him! Oh and he had to put in all of my eye drops.  All in all it was a pretty "simple" procedure as far as procedures go. I never at any point felt a stitch of pain-that surprised the heck out of me!
And now?
I can see like I did when I wore my contacts...but I'm not wearing contacts! And the doc said that my vision will continue to level out and improve as the weeks go by! I definitely give the procedure a thumbs up!
