Give Me Back My Five Bucks

This morning I have to go for my 1-week follow-up appointment. Everything seems fine. My eyes are still quite light sensitive, and by about 2 or 3pm I get really tired and I just want to close my eyes in a dark room. I’m still putting in my eye drops every 30-45 min. I have extremely dry eyes anyway, so with the surgery they wanted to make sure that I’m always putting drops in. I don’t have to wear my sunglasses inside anymore (just outside) … but sometimes I like to wear them because my eyes get too tired. It’s … Continue reading →

It’s so weird not to need my glasses anymore. I have 20/20 vision! :) BF and I watched a movie last night, and before he pressed play, I started to ask him if he could pass me my glasses. I stopped myself in time, but it was so weird. And this morning, I put my old glasses on, just to see – and everything was super blurry. I can’t imagine what it’ll be like to play field hockey and see clearly, or go hiking and not have my glasses fog up or start to fall down my nose from sweat. … Continue reading →

The worst part about recovering from this surgery is the boredom. I can’t do anything. Can’t go outside for long periods of time. Can’t watch TV. Can’t read a book. Can’t play games. Can’t go on the computer (I’m getting off this machine as soon as I post this, promise). So that means no blogging, no Facebook, no Twitter, no anything. I am bored out of my mind!!! Anyway it’s all going to be worth it. I have my check-up to go to in a few minutes, so I’m going to leave now. I hope you all have a fabulous … Continue reading →

Well, today is the day of my LASIK surgery! :) I’m very excited, but also really nervous. They say I’m supposed to eat a “substantial” breakfast, but my stomach is flipping around and I never eat breakfast. I’ll have to force down a bagel and banana. Last night, BF and I went to the Mongolie Grill. After tax and tip, it cost me $29.01. Pretty expensive, but I wanted to have a nice meal out before surgery today. Not a very good excuse, but it was so yummy! When I went to Safeway this week, I bought enough groceries to … Continue reading →

I just got approved for 0% financing on $2,900 (12 months – no interest, no payments) for my Lasik eye surgery on February 5th. I’m getting nervous for the surgery, but it’s something I’ve been wanting. Not so much nervous that something bad is going to happen to my eyesight, but nervous for the actual procedure, and nervous for how I’m going to feel in the weeks to follow. But it’s going to improve my quality of life a lot, so I’m thrilled that I have the opportunity to do this. Like I said before, the cost of the surgery … Continue reading →
