I had my Lasik surgery Wednesday. It went pretty well. My dad's medical money card thing didn't go through so I almost had to go home but luckily we worked it out and we went on as scheduled. I wouldn't say I was too scared about getting surgery. I was a bit nervous though. I depend on my eyes so much for lipreading that any problem that could cause me to lose my sight would not be good. The surgery itself was short but pretty weird. The worse part for me was when the doctor pulled back a flap he made in my cornea. When that happened my vision got 100 times worse. I was just hoping that the flap wouldn't tear or anything because I realised how important that cornea is to seeing things. It turns out I was their best patient of the day. They said that most patients can't help but move around a bit but I was still as a statue. The doctor was pretty impressed with that. I just didn't want to open any opportunity for accidents! My sight is a bit hazy right now but getting better. The doctor said this morning that I had close to 20/20 vision so I am pretty happy that it seems to be going well.
I am still in the process of finishing my take home test. If anyone has read White Teeth by Zadie Smith let me know because I need some input. Hopefully I will have all of the test done and turned in by Monday.
My pain level is no worse or better than my standard of normal pain. I am still looking into going to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota and also someplace in the Boston area for any answers I can find. I have a feeling that something is beginning to not be right. I am getting random itchy rashes on my arms and some of my joints are beginning to hurt more and more. I'm hoping it's just a bug going around but I may get it checked out if it persists.
