Here’s the weirdest symptom I have after the laser eye surgery: no desire to read blogs or to post! Good lord, that should have been noted somewhere in all the papers I signed.
I only hopped online this morning to see if Mrs. Flinger and baby are out of the NICU and home. The answer is yes — fantastic!!! — but I’m putting the laptop away now.
I just want to be in a dark room with my sunglasses on. So I’m still here, I’ve just become a hermit. Go share Mrs. F’s happy day, and I’ll be back later.

It took months after the laser eye surgery before I was able to comfortably surf the net again.
Sunglasses are your friend.
I hope you’re recovering well. I can’t believe they don’t put the “no blogs” in the fine print. I’ll be sure to make note of that before I ever get it. :-)
Thank you so much for all your support. Your comment “Remember, 2 steps forward and 1 step back is still progress in the NICU” kept jumping in my head when they’d have to re-do a step. I read it just before running back to the NICU one day and kept repeating it to Mr. Flinger and myself all day. It was exactly what we needed to hear. So thank you.
Unibomberish? LMAO. Come back soon!
Ahh, yes…you know you’re not well when you don’t want to read blogs!
Get healed up soon!
Holy crap, did they do lasik or amputate your eyeballs???? Hope you feel better soon!
Wow! Maybe the blogreading thing is in the fine print? Hope it’s a short term side effect. :)
Okay, I’m seriously hoping this isn’t a permanent side effect. What would I do without my GRIT?!
Enjoy your peaceful time behind the shades.
Hope you have a speedy recovery, and make it back to the blogosphere soon!
I feel that way and no one has singed my eyeballs lately. Enjoy your break.
perhaps they secretly gave you whole new eyes, but the donor wasn’t a blog reader.
eww. i just creeped myself out with all the implications of that. terribly sorry.
rest in peace…erm, no. no!
relax in peace. recover in peace. return soon. :)
I hope you feel better soon. And that you get to appreciate the results of the surgery at some point.
Just wanted to sprinkle you with some quick-healing dust…get online, I mean, er, better soon!!!!!
Get lots of rest and don’t worry about your blog, we won’t turn it around! :)
I hope you’re feeling better soon-enjoy the break!
