Good luck, Penni! The monovision option sounds interesting; wish I could handle it. Two of my brothers had regular Lasik surgery a few years ago (before they needed reading glasses) and they've been delighted. But I'm a big wimp about my eyes so I'm sticking to my bifocals... the snazzy kind without a visible division between the distance and the geezer lens.

OK so I leave this morning on the Train for Irvine. Then check into the hotel. Then just sit and twiddle my thumbs in the room till tomorrow morning. I have the hotel shuttle me to the clinic. 8a I have my eye surgery. Then shuttle me back to hotel where I crash for a few hours to rest. Next day I head back home on the Train.

I am really anxious but I know eveyrthing will be fine. I get like this just before surgery. ANY surgery. I am a nurse so I know all the stats and scenarios that could go wrong and that sorta plays on my mind. I also know that this is minor and I will be awake so the amount of things that can go wrong are less.

I just will center myself and take deep cleansing breaths for the next 24 to 48 hours. LOL!!

OH yeah one more thing. I might not be on the computer as much after the surgery. I will most likely need to give my eye time to recuperate. So, signing off till around Friday. Take care everyone and be good to each other. Life is way too short.

Blossom gets a rose bush in the near future in our garden. Along with a cute concrete animal of some kind.

Good luck with the surgery, Penni! You should be able to pilot a fighter jet when you're done.

Good luck Penni! I was able to use the computer the day after I had it done. I came back to work and worked on the computer all day. You might be surprised!

It will be a lot easier just getting one eye done. I let my eyes rest that evening, but was back the next day, no problems. I was required to have someone w/me to be released, since they gave me valium (relaxant) for the procedure.

Resting for now. Eye is burning a little but otherwise I am fine. Chat with you ladies more tomorrow.
