Day 13, May 13th, 2013

"I feel like I've won the lottery, I am so excited for you, this is a wonderful day" My dad.

Today, I went for my lasik eye consultation. If you know me, you know just how awful my eyes are. I have suffered with my eyes since I was a little girl and have never truly been able to see things properly. I've always been the buttend of jokes because I can't see and I've missed out on so many things because I haven't been able to see and that stinks. Can you imagine missing part of your life because you haven't seen well enough??

Well, it turns out that I'm a candidate but because of my prescription and how thin my corneas are, I have to get a special surgery but luckily enough, they've been doing it for a very long time and they're experienced with how it goes and what not.

The sad part is, is I found out that with my astigmatism, that my eyes are -12! OUCH! That makes me so sad!! Also, its a risk that my eyes will regress but he says no more than -2 type deal and it could take years for that or a mere 6 months! BUT fortunately, Lasik MD also has lifetime enhancements(for free!!), so if my eyes did regress, I would have to wait for my corneas to be thicker and healed before getting it done again. But being -2 sure beats the hell out of -12. He also informed me that I will only see as well as I see with a proper prescription, so when I get the surgery, I will see just as well with a proper prescription set of glasses, which isn't what I have right now.

I think my parents are more excited than I am, they're thrilled beyond belief that I'm able to do this. I think they're actually more excited than I am as I don't think its quite sunk in yet that I may not have to wear glasses and actually be able to see! I was also thrilled over the price. Thank you groupon, thank you Lisa and thank you Mom!

While I was waiting with majorly dilated eyes, I managed to sneak a picture of the view from the 20th floor of the building!!


After this, my mom and I went out for lunch as her and I were starving! I came across this pickle and had to take a picture! What a happy little pickle!!! :)
