I got Lasik Laser Eye Surgery yesterday!

I am now reading things on my comp and typing this with NO GLASSES! Wootness extreme!

The surgery itself was very quick, just the waiting was making me nervous. The first part was the worst, where I paniced in the room as my vision went totaly blank for a moment while the doctor held my eyeball in one spot. I learned that when your eye is completely 100% still, you cannot see a thing. I also learned that I hate speculums. (That metal thing that holds your eye apart so you can't blink.) The etching of the corneal flap itself was quick, but they had to readjust my eye once for each eye. Yay for panic attacks and hyperventilation.

After that though, the actual laser surgery part was easy. I was still pretty freaked out (I just get that way with any surgery thingies) but it wasn't as bad as the first room. Even the smell of burning as the laser went over my eyeball didn't bother me. It was super quick too, and I could already see ten times better as soon as it was done!

The doctor said I was perfectly co-operative and my surgery went perfect, even though I was scared at the time. My corneal flaps healed over perfectly smooth too, I found out this morning when my protective contact lense was taken off and they examined my vision. I can now see 20/20 and 20/15 already, and my vision is only going to improve over the following weeks/months, while the nerves around my tear ducts heal and my eyes recover fully.

I also got some brand new polarised sunglasses from the place and they are the awsome. It's been SO long since I got to wear real sunglasses!

The only 'hassel' if you can call it that, is the eye drops I need to take, but that's no big deal and I feel soooo much better about myself. I did it all by myself, made the appointment made the decisions and I'm paying for it with my own earned money.

I did it for myself, by myself and I feel GREAT. My wonderful man of awsome was by my side the whole time too and took precious time out of his sleep schedual to take me to and from the center. *squee and love*

He is proud of me.

So yesh, I definitely recommend this place to anyone who's considering Lasik. It's the number one place to go with the number one surgeon. Apparently people come literally from all over the world to go here and see Dr Menger. Schedual you're free lasik eye exame and you'll find out just how awsome this place is and how much of a fantastic decision you'd make by going there.

lol I sound like the commercial. But I'm so serious, this place lives up to its standards of being number one with the best surgeon and the best equipment, and the best staff. They were so kind and patient with me and I was never left alone to worry about anything. I can hardly believe I am seeing the world without glasses. I'm just not going to get over how good this makes me feel.

NO cancer for Mr Trouble.

Biopsy came back negative for any cancerous tissue. He's not out of the woods yet, as the fatty liver is still a very serious condition, but he's now treatable, instead of looming doom. So I am VERY happy with this, and taking good care of my baby at home now. Making sure his high calorie diet takes and that he gets all his antibiotics.

Thankyou to anyone who kept him in their thoughts, we both greatly appreciate it!

Mr Trouble went into work with me yesterday with yellowing skin and an emaciated look to him. Blood tests confirmed that he has liver disease, so yesterday sucked ass.

But, today had somewhat better news. He got his ultrasound and though it showed he has a fatty liver and that his intestines look pretty bad, the doc did not say for sure wether he had cancer just by looking at the US. So it's encouraging that perhaps the liver disease is just a symptom of another condition that can be easilly treated and managed, such as irritable bowel. Or, just a result of him going off his food for as long as he has.


So we are all hopeing for the best and trying to prepare for any otehr news. He got his liver biopsy sent in today as well, so we're waiting to hear from that. He's on antibiotics and being hydrated over the last two days on IV fluids. That has seemed to perk him up, and he IS eating so that's a great sign.


So ya, I've been distracted with this, and the fact that the 3rd is coming up and my therapy is getting very difficult to handle the last few sessions.


My life is a fucking trainwreak. but I'm dealing pretty well I think. Just worried about my baby cat now. Please keep him in your thoughts for a speedy recovery.

My birthday on monday! Looking forward to our vegas trip. Just me and my man with NO interuptions. Ahh bliss.

I've been drawing some more and working on a few things. Life right now is in a chaotic flux for me atm. I'm going through a lot of emotional bullshit and stress in my home, person, work and in general.

The last few months have been hard for me, but I'm trying to deal.

Life just sucks sometimes.
