LASIK

I did it! Enjoying my first morning of perfect eyesight after 14 hours of sleep. It was well worth the 8 hours spent at the clinic yesterday but there were some moments that I will never forget!

Scariest moment - The minute you lie on the operating table. Yes it was painless but it was totally uncomfortable, especially when they cut your cornea. After that, the 30 sec he spent using laser on each eye seems like forever and I actually counted the seconds to make sure he is not lying!!! I pray that my kids will have perfect eyesight so that they do not have to go through this!

Happiest moment - when I got down from the operating table! I had perfect eyesight immediately and it was an amazing feeling!

Most pathetic moment - When I was sitting alone at the taxi stand, waiting for Ian to pick me up. By then the anesthetic has wore off and I could not open my eyes at all. The tears keep flowing and a lot of passer-bys actually stopped n asked if I am all right and if I need to help with taxi!!!

Anyway, glad I have done it and hope the recovery phase will be smooth....
