I'm back, and my right eye is slightly shorter now.

May 24, 2007 10 Comments

Seriously. No joke. The smell of eyeball is foul.

And the Valium they gave me ahead of time? Lame. Nothing. It didn’t “take the edge off,” I’ve just been unable to stop yawning for the past 5 hours.

And lying in the surgi-recliner waiting for someone who you know is going to blast your eye with a freaking laser? Weird as hell and slightly creepy.

The doctor bringing up “A Clockwork Orange” while he tapes my eye open? Hilarious.

Apparently today I will feel fine (true so far), tomorrow I will feel some “discomfort,” and Saturday it will hurt like a motherfucker.

At least I have my lolcats (and friends like Karrie and Jean who send me things like this that make me laugh more than humans really should). And the complimentary goody bag containing, eye drops, sun glasses, and instructions.

Oh, and Valium and Vicodin.

    I’m very jealous. I wanted to have lasik but my doctor told me I’m too old and my eyes are too bad. Now isn’t that comforting?

    Your a braver woman than I to have lasers shoot at your eyeballs. Though I’d love to get it.

    I’m so glad you enjoyed the link. I thought of you as soon as I saw it.

    […] You may recall that last May I had my eyes lasered into occular perfection. It was a great experience, and the left side of my life has been radically changed for the better. […]
