Two weeks ago I shocked Rob with how horrible my eyesight is when I took him along to a consultation for laser eye surgery. This was the first time Rob had ever been to an eye doctor and he was very interested in all the usual machines and tests, he also got a first hand glimpse at how awful my eyes are with out my contacts or glasses. He just couldn't believe that I couldn't tell which way the GIGANTIC 'E' was pointing on the very top line of tests. I'm glad he was there though, because often I forget how strange it must be for people with 20/20 vision, too, and how jealous I am of them.
At the consultation I found out that I'm able to get Lasik surgery done that should result in 20/20 vision when I'm done. Rob and I thought about it for a week and looked very closely at our finances. Rob was all for it apparently I'm missing out on life if I don't (I guess I agree). I was a bit more hesitant, not just for the fact that they would be shooting lasers IN MY EYES, but there is a lot more we could do with the money than laser eye surgery... we could go on an amazing holiday, fix up our house or both! But after talking to a few people who have had it done and had NOTHING bad to say about it, I was convinced and I'm going for it!
In exactly two weeks to the date I will be at my 24 hour recovery appointment able to see without the aid of any contacts or glasses! I seriously cannot wait! Read some cheesy poetry with more about how I feel here.
