So everyone...I just had to share this because it has already made such an impact on my life...and I can't imagine how it could get any better like they say it will...I got lasik surgery!! Me and Chris have been talking about doing it for a long time but have not been able to afford it. Not gonna lie...it aint cheap!! But the benefits of it are seriously priceless for us. I know many people are skeptics and have probably heard bad things about it. I was one of them and was very VERY nervous about getting it done. What if I went blind?? What if it doesn't even work?? I had to believe in my doctor, Dr. Bernisky, that when he said I was an eligable candidate that it would work. There are many conditions with the eye where lasik would not work, but you would not believe all the other procedures they can do if lasik is not for you. It's really so simple too...
Me and Chris went in for a free consultation on Tuesday (may.24) it was about an hour and a half, but they checked EVERYTHING!! how deep your lenses are, the circumfrence of your eye, they test your vision like 20 times (well...it seemed like it anyway but they did alot! they dialate your eyes to look inside...it was alot of tests but well worth it. They were able to get us in the NEXT day after determining we were able to do it. I was super surprised...i didn't think it would happen so fast!! So the next morning me and Chris went in, they explained the procedure, got us ready and away we went!! It seriously took a total of 5 mins for BOTH eyes!! when they walked me out of the operating room and I rested for a few minutes, I decided to open my eyes and see what I could see...and it was EVERYTHING!! without the aid of glasses or contacts!! I got all teary eyed I just couldn't believe it!! All they require afterwards is to put drops in your eyes to keep them moist, for an antibiotic, and a steriod. also to sleep or keep your eyes closed for 2-6 hours, and NO RUBBING YOUR EYES!! they cut the top flap of your eye and put it back in place, but it takes only 2 weeks for it to be completely healed. amazing. My vision has just gotten better and better. All it feels like is there is dirt in your eyes, and that feeling is virtually gone today.
I was so excited to open my eyes this morning and see eveything right away...the sunlight through the curtains, what time it was, to peek at my sweet boy as he slept...no reaching for my glasses to see or to get 2 inches from his face just to make out his features. It was pure bliss to be sitting on the couch with my cup of coffee and to look down the hall and see my sweet pea walking down towards me, rubbing the sleepies from her eyes.
Its already so wonderful and undescribable. I can't wait to SEE (literally) all that is in store.
