good-bye glasses!

I made the plunge last week, and went in to have lasik done on my eyes. It has been a little bit of an adventure, but should be well worth it in the end. I had both eyes done last wednesday, April 1. David took the day off to drive with me. He was able to watch the whole procedure on a bit screen tv, which he thought was pretty amazing. They even made a dvd for me to watch later, which I did with Kennedy. Here I am leaving the doctor's office, with my best friend, my sunglasses! My eye sight was pretty blurry for the first 24 hrs while my eyes recovered from the procedure. I was supposed to wear these goggles to bed at night, so I didn't accidently rub my eyes in my sleep. They weren't very comfortable, but I did wear them for a few nights!

When I went in for my first follow-up the next day, my right eye was doing great and already pretty clear, but my left wasn't. It turns out I had a wrinkle on my flap on that eye, so had to go back in to have it "re-floated". I had to have that done twice on my left eye. . . what a pain. But it is now wrinkle free, and on the road to recovery. My right eye is now 20/20, and my left is almost there as well. Over all, it has been a good experience for me. I can't wait for my new life glasses and contact free! It is crazy to wake up in the morning and be able to see the clock without squinting or reaching for my glasses.

So that has been my week since last wednesday. .. lots of drives up to Sandy to the eye doctor to have my eyes checked and "re-floated" twice. I thank all my friends and family for babysitting and helping me drive when I couldn't. . . I couldn't have done it with out you.
