So lovely people...I'm a gonna do it!!!
I was planning on doing it like 8 years ago, but after paying for the X-Mr.Groovebunny to have his done, and him then using his new ones to make with the googley eyes with very young work interns, it kinda put me off the idea of getting mine done.
But ya know. 8 years have past. I am sooooo over it already!
So L-Day will happen on the 30th. Until then I will treasure these few moments left of moi waking in the middle of the night and walking into walls or falling down the stairs because I can't see a freaking thing as I am so blind as a bat, but without the sonar-echo locating abilities. I have to admit the thought of having a laser, laser into my cornea to create the famous flap that flips so the eye surgeon can do his magic, had me a bit concerned. Okay I lie. It had me scared, because come on! It's my eyeball we're talking about here!!! But when I weighed in the fact that this won't be the first surgery I've had, and that I've had my uterus cut open (and I saw the whole thing in the shiny part of the overhead light) to remove the little angel who Macarena'd me in the ribs and gave me 9 months of heartburn, a little laser cornea flapping doesn't seem like such a big deal afterall.
Oh and did I mention they' re gonna give me VALIUM?!?! I've done Vicodin before and that was loooovely! Valium. Vicodin. I figure you can't go wrong if it's a drug and it starts with the letter "V".
Another favorite "V" of mine is Viggo. Maaaarrraaarrr!!!
So, to prepare for the big L-Day, I have to wear my glasses all week.
No contact lenses!!! People. I don't look very good in my glasses. When I say I don't look very good, I mean, my perscription is a bit old on my glasses, so my seeing through those glasses isn't very good. Then add to that the fact that I look like a COMPLETE dork in glasses. How is it other people can wear glasses and look smart, and some cute and then even some, hot? But me? I am the epitome of dorkiness!!! How, may I ask, is that even fair???
Okay, well I have really good chompers, so maybe that's the trade off.
Anyways, I have to admit, as excited as I am for having my eyeballs lasered, I am going to miss the mornings. I'm so accustomed to seeing myself as a huge blur each morning before the contact lenses go in that I think I'm gonna be in for a complete shock when I'm able to see moi mug as it really is. I'm talking twitching, screaming and possible fainting, hitting my head on the counter and being out of commission for a couple of good hours...
/me shivers...
Heh. Maybe this whole lasering of the eyeballs isn't such a great idea afterall...
But wait! They're giving me Valium!!!
Okay, so maybe the whole lasering of the eyeballs is a great idea afterall...
So.
With new eyes should come new sight.
And foresight.
And hindsight.
Any of those in single form or combination would be a great thing my friends. Just think...I'll be able to see those Dead Man's Curves more clearly, and see well enough to stay off of roads that end with sheer drops off of the face of the earth.
Maybe. Just maybe. If I can fix my sight, I can fix everything that's wrong with my heart as well.
And then...
I'll throw myself a huge party.
The hugest party ever in the history of ever!
And then...
I'll never look back.
Eye Meant It When Eye Said It
btw...
I was fine the next day. I needed someone to drive me home after the surgery, but 24 hours later i was perfectly ok.
Yay!
I've done it and I'm glad I did!!! You won't believe your eyes... hehe
Good luck I hope everything
Good luck I hope everything does go well, I'm not a fan going under the knife for anything...
congrats. i've been thinking
congrats. i've been thinking about it more and more, but quite honestly the only thing holding me back is the time. i swear, as soon as i get a free weekend, i'm taking the plunge.
Brando, the thing that was
Brando, the thing that was holding me back too was time. I've been trying to get this done for the past 3 years really. Trying to schedule it between busy work periods. This year I just finally gave up and told my boss I'm gonna be out and sorry the project will be a little late.
Take the plunge! :)
i'm so jealous
i want the laser but my eye doc won't let me - says my eyes are so bad they're too bad to fix. i'd still need glasses. granted, it wouldn't be a perscription that makes the glasses people look at me funny, but there it is....
oh, and nat - i had bifocals at 10. but i don't now. go figure ...
anyway - congrats on getting the laser. and the valium. 
and i'm sure you look just as gorgeous as always in your glasses.
Aww I'm sorry to hear you
Aww I'm sorry to hear you can't get the surgery. My doc was trying to explain to me yesterday that some people can't due to the muscle at the back of their eye being too tight. So he dialiated me to check mine out. And holy smokes it was bright!!!
And thanks for the compliment. YOU look totally cute in your glasses. I love the one on your site. I was trying to get a pair of glasses like that, but my head is too bulbous and huge to wear em. :(
Good luck with everything -
Good luck with everything - better you than me, NO FRIGGIN WAY is anyone putting anything in my eye other than a contact lens. 
Hehe Vicki. Here's another
Hehe Vicki. Here's another reason why I think it's totally time to do this. I keep having these dreams about putting contact lenses on my eye...but the lenses are the size of pancakes! I have no idea what that's about, but needless to say, I can't get those pancake sized lenses to stay put. lol
I want to get it eventually!
I want to get it eventually! But I am nervous!
I know five people that have done it and they worship it!! Of course they all went to the same doctor in Manhattan.
I want to be in
I want to be in Manhattan!!!
*sigh*
That might be going a little overboard on my end, flying to Manhattan for eye surgery. lol But I want to be in Manhattan!!!
I'm so happy for you! I
I'm so happy for you! I know a lot of people who've had this surgery and not a single one has regretted it ... they only wish they'd done it sooner.
Thanks Julie! I really can't
Thanks Julie! I really can't wait. The only problem is I can't wear my contacts for a week before the surgery. I look like a dork! lol
My sister had lasic and she
My sister had lasic and she is so happy now! I will have it done too when I have the time and save the money. You will love it from what every one who has had it done has told me!
Thanks OleBlue. I'm sure I
Thanks OleBlue. I'm sure I will love to wake in the morning and not have to squint like an old woman just to see the alarm clock. lol
Just don't get the chip implant
Good luck with the surgery. All will be well and all will be well and every manner of thing shall be well. That's Julian of Norwich (except the first part.)
Thanks for the quote
Thanks for the quote BitterBierce! Since I'm totally gung-ho on this, all I can do is hope that all will be well. :)
Good luck with the eyeball lasering!
Mail me if you want a detailed, gruesome description of my own experience....
LOL I'll wait until after my
LOL I'll wait until after my surgery to ask for the gruesome details of yours B. But I know stuff can go wrong. I know a few people who have had to had work redone because the surgeon over corrected them. And then also a few people who had a hard time healing.
Charm, good luck with this.
Charm, good luck with this. I've been considering it myself for a while. Especially since the eye doc. told me I might need ... wait for it... bifocals. I'm 34, I don't know anyone else who need bifocals at 34!!!
Think how marvelous life will be, without the "where are my glasses moments.!"
N.
Bi-focals? Holy smacks!
Bi-focals? Holy smacks! Nat I'll let you know how mine come out. The best thing about it is that there's a lifetime guarantee on the work, so once my vision starts to change again, I just go in for another treatment for free!
Can't beat free. hehe
I'm basically totally blind without my glasses and contacts. This so sooooo long overdue. :)
That, my friend, is
That, my friend, is incredible writing! You haven't lost a beat.

Good Luck chic!
Hey girl... WOW! That's great... I can relate to the whole "...I'm so accustomed to seeing myself as a huge blur each morning..." I am the same way... or being in the shower and having to lift EVERY bottle up to your nose to make sure you'te not pouring on the body wash instead of the shampoo! I have really bad astigmatism... a few years ago when I tried to get contacts they told me I couldn't because my eyesight was so bad and my prescription was soooooooo thick that they couldn't fit it into a contact....
I'm looking into getting the ACUVUE Astigmatism lenses.
Being in the military we can get this done for free. However.... since I'm trying to get pregnant, they won't even consider me right now. They say to come back after having a baby.... *sigh* Because the pregnancy would revert the surgery....
:-S
Weird....
Best of Luck Charm!
I bet it's gonna be a great feeling not to have to wear glasses/contact lenses anymore!
