She thought she could go home on her own LOL!Karina Chiodohttp://www.ecot.com/cataract/cataract-surgery/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25895692.post-58347830583350247682011-07-25T02:09:35.067-07:002011-07-25T02:09:35.067-07:00I can't believe they didn't give you Valiu...I can't believe they didn't give you Valium! I got it with mine... though it wore off after the first eye was done and I was waiting for the second one.<br /><br />I can totally relate to what you said about waking up in the middle of the night and staring out the window just to see.<br /><br />It took a good six months after the surgery for my mental self-image to reboot to the point where I stopped picturing myself with glasses. I also discovered I might have had a nervous habit of adjusting my glasses, because for at least a month I kept reaching up to fiddle with a frame that was no longer there.The Bitter Script Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16575166527272639709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25895692.post-37921482252029860122011-07-23T14:40:12.372-07:002011-07-23T14:40:12.372-07:00Read your eye post last night.

Panicked for a moment on your behalf, elected not to share that, or the few bad outcome stories I know (so as not to antagonize god of mischief), but egads am sooo damn happy it turned out well. I'm very visually oriented (and with glasses since 8th grade too), and the thought of a knife to my eyes, eeeee, brazil and clockwork orange come immediately and ferociously to mind. As does potential blindness. So four-eyes I'll remain, unless I get a huge aperol cocktail sloshed generously with valium. Lots of valium. Maybe one day. Or not.<br /><br />Yay!!!Atlantahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03977994956871446229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25895692.post-4533593568217343552011-07-22T20:01:55.857-07:002011-07-22T20:01:55.857-07:00Congrats on the lasik.
