soo...friday the 18 i got lasik surgery... for those of u who dont know what that entails...i dont wanna freak u out...it doesnt hurt but then again its not like its fun either. its a bit uncomfortable but its quick. no pain...
it sounds worse than it is >.> took like 20 minutes tops so the end result? first thing i told the doctor was that i could see the wall socket and the little holes...what can i say O.o yes i was that blind...without glasses... the big E at the eye exam... >.> i didnt even see a black blur...just the color of the wall the nurse lady laughed at me... it was so bad that to read a book i had to put my nose 1 inch from the text and dont even bother trying to see faces....
now? now i keep moving imaginary glasses up my nose >.> and then taking off imaginary glasses to wash my face...reaching for imaginary glasses in the morning... O.o its driving me nuts....
so yea...this is me telling the guild im not blind anymore

Congratulations on the eyeball repair.
I have a friend who wants to do it badly but is too scared. He bails whenever he needs a blood test done.

Thats awesome! I'm so happy for you. Glasses and contacts are such a pain. I'm about as blind as you were, and if I had the spare money would do that in a heartbeat.

:o though...i must say putting the drops in your eyes for days after is a hassle
antibiotic to disinfect the eye is 4 times a day for like 2 weeks
the other drops i gotta take were every 2 hours and the artificial tears (i can cry without squirting em in my eyes...) is every hour.
its hard keeping track of it all O.o

Woot awesome news on having your eyes done! I wear glasses too, would be good not to have them anymore hehe! I had contacts too, however my eyes used to water too much with them. The drops you have to put in only for a certain time? Be worth it all in the end though

Congrats! I myself can't do lasik surgery as one of my eyes is kind of a lazy eye, where the iris wasn't fully developed when I was young (kind of hereditary). My right eye is fine and can do surgery but the doc was saying it might be a 50/50 risk as complications might occur and my right eye (which I rely on more than my left) will be no more and I'll be having trouble seeing after that. The doc just didn't want to risk it.
But I'm always glad to hear someone having to see so good again! :) Congrats, again. :)

yeah it's always nice to be able to see. It's almost like a phantom limb I guess you could call it :)
