Well, it's done

I did it! I actually had my eyes lasered!

Well I guess it's lasik, but same way. I opted for a addition to the surgery... I now have xray vision. And can see thru walls. Now Maggie has no chance to get away with anything.

Recovery is good. The nap after the surgery was great. It's a weird feeling to open you eyes and actually see something. And yes, things are still a bit blurry, but the doctor says it will get better every day.

So to celebrate, I've started a list of things I am excited to do without glasses:
- taking a shower and actually seeing the bottles
- reading a book while laying down
- riding roller coasters and not worrying if they will fly off
- going swimming, or to any sort of water park
- putting on makeup without getting super close to the mirror
- washing my glasses EVERY DAY
- super glueing my glasses when the frame breaks
- getting a haircut and actually SEEing what they are doing while it's getting done.

There are many more reasons... but I am just super excited to be without them! I'll post a picture in a week or so. There are some broken blood vessels in my eyes that make me look a little possessed, and I need to work on my tan around my eyes. And I can wear eye makeup in 5 days.... So... keep posted!

I'm so happy and so jealous - that is a great list. Add, being able to get up at night when a baby cries and see what you are doing.

Send any glasses frames you are getting rid of my way!

But right now she has demon eyes, and they're super scary!

And I LOVE getting out of a car without my glasses fogging up!

I'm so excited for you! I've only had glasses/contacts for 4 years and I'm already sick of it...you must feel so free!

Eyesight is such a fabulous thing. I am so super jealous. Not in a bad kind of way, just in a i-wish-i-could-see-what-she's-gonna-be-seeing kind of way. I know that the world would be a whole new place sans contacts. I am so happy for you!!!
