Well, maybe not quite clearly, but a helluva lot better than I can remember seeing in the past! Yes, I went through with the Lasik yesterday! I was so scared beforehand that I thought I was going to throw up, and I wouldn't talk about it or let Jill talk about it, beyond the minimum necessary logistical details. Fortunately, half an hour or so before the actual surgery, they give you the option of taking a valium, which helped a lot. It even calmed me down enough to be hungry instead of queasy, and to eat a granola bar. And I could tell it at least partially worked before I even left the room -- there was a clock on the wall and I couldn't read it before, but I could read it after! They say that as the eye heals, especially in the first 24 hours but also for the next 2 weeks, my eyesight will keep improving. Whee! Already, though, I can see things I couldn't have seen without my glasses on. Which is so cool. I promise I won't get too graphic here, but this is what it feels like now: like I've been wearing contacts for way too long. That's the kind of tired and itchy. No pain or anything more dramatic than that.
