Sooo...LASIK - UPDATE

[IrishBelle]

That's awesome gogreengowhite!

tripleshot - They did my right eye first and it went well. They couldn't get the thing that holds my eye open to fit properly on my left eye and they couldn't do it that day. I had a go a week between eyes. It was an interesting week! And no valium for me either. They did give me a Ativan but it didn't do anything.

Lol. That is bullshit.

Love the DH update lololol!!

I'm glad the surgery went well!

Happy to see the update. Sorry about the lack of valium. I will say I was prescribed less valium for the lasik than what I got at the dentist (and I'm not afraid of the dentist, just have a small mouth). So the valium only just took the edge off.

Hi! I'm back. DH wouldn't let me near my phone or iPad yesterday since he knows me too well and knew I couldn't stay off of gbcn and fb.

They only put 2 numbing drops in my left eye so I could definitely feel that one but it still wasn't bad.

I took some Xanax when I got home so I could sleep and now I feel great!

When does the novelty of "oh my god, I can see that" wear off?

Yay! Glad it went so well! Thanks to your H for updating us!

The novelty will not wear off for at least 6 - 12 months. Then, whenever someone you care about goes through it, you will totally freak out about how you used to not be able to wake up & see perfectly...it is like a miracle.

Hope you continue to heal without any hiccups & stay warm up there today!!! My IL's just sent me pics of all the snow they've been shoveling!

Glad it went well. Sorry you didn't get Valium. Like others said, get a good pair of sunglasses to protect your newly lasered eyeballs.

Thanks for posting! DH has been talking about doing this for ages. Maybe we'll finally live somewhere long enough he can get it done...

I'm glad yours went well! My folks both had laser eye surgery ages ago, and loved it, too.
