Once was blind but now I see….

 

Well not exactly, but I did have Lasik eye surgery back in June. I was near sided with a stigmatism in my right eye. I have been wanting it done, but I had to save up some money first. So…. several years later I finally had it done and WOW what a difference.

It’s so amazing to look out my back window and see individual leaves, blades of grass, see road signs, watch TV and not having my children yanking my glasses off my face. I told Matt I feel like I’m seeing in HD now and of course he thinks for the money we spent on this procedure I should be seeing everything in HD for the rest of my life. Ha

 

These two pictures were taken the day of my surgery after most of the pain had worn off. After my surgery I had to keep my eyes closed for at least 3 hours. Luckily I had Stephanie and Mama helping me by taking care of the children. Stephanie made me lunch and I’m glad I trusted her enough not to play a joke on me and serve me something horrible. Try eating with your eyes shut… it can be interesting. If you are wanting to sport my sexy look I will allow you to borrow my “ski goggles”.

 

 

I look awful with no makeup on, but it sure was worth it. I couldn’t wear makeup for a couple of days prior to surgery or wear any eye makeup for a week after surgery. I had never before looked forward to putting my entire face on. I felt ALIVE!! That’s pretty horrible to feel that way, but after looking in the mirror for almost 2 weeks with nothing on my face and thinking how sick I look it felt great to look pretty again.

 

 

This was the last picture I took wearing my glasses. I didn’t have my camera with me the day I had surgery, so this will have to work.

Good bye glasses!!!
