I Can See The Light Of A Clear Blue Morning

This post will be in blue to celebrate the title!! Okay I swore I was never going to share the photos below due to the fact that I look absolutely hideous but I figured a few people might get a kick out of it so.....January 6, 2010 I had lasik and by the next morning I was seeing 20/20. After I had the surgery my eye dr informed me that I was legally blind prior to my surgery. What? Are you kidding me? All this time I could have been selecting legally blind on my taxes?? I was tempted to select that button but figured I may get audited so I resisted.

Anyway the operation if you can really call it that went pretty well. They seat you just outside the "operating room" they get you prepared you know give you valium (btw I need more than 1 because 1 does nothing for me), clean your eyes with betadine and remember at this time I have been wearing my glasses for over a month (I am not a happy camper). Anyway I was supposed to be next and they take away my glasses clean the area around my eyes with betadine and tell me I can't have my glasses back. Okay no big deal I can handle this for a few minutes.....la la la my most beautiful best friend Kellie was awesome enough to take a vacation day acutally 2 and laugh at me as you all probably will after seeing the photos below. So I wait and wait and still waiting it has been like 45 mins and I can't see my hand in front of my face. I had to keep asking Kellie what people looked like that were coming in you don't realize how great eyesight is until you have to do without it. After 45 mins they come out and tell me the laser didn't charge correctly the night before so I have to wait....ugh well I guess I would rather be blind for a little longer than for a lifetime so the procedure goes off without a hitch here are the photos you have been waiting for.....how embarassing!!
