Gah!

So, you know how I mentioned I wanted laser eye surgery? Well, I just called to make the appointment, and I'm going in Friday. :D

Go you! I shall keep my fingers crossed on Friday. Maybe not literally as that will make it hard to do stuff, but still ;)

Thanks! I'm getting really excited!

Eeek! You're getting the actually surgery on Friday, or just a consultation?

The actual surgery. I was thinking you'd have to book months in advance, but nope, they said Friday. I'm kind of glad, it leaves me less time to freak out about it.

Yay you! Good luck with that, I'm sure it'll be fine. :)

I'm not all *that* nervous, I've asked so many people about it (probably in the hundreds) and so far have only heard two cases of bad side effects (my best friend was allergic to the eye drops so it was really uncomfortable until they figured it out and got her new ones, and then [livejournal.com profile] sunshineandrage had a room made who was blind for a while afterwards :S but they managed to fix it and she's fine now).
I read throught the literature about the possible side effects, and all the ones that were serious had really big odds, and tend to be people that have existing conditions, so I'm not really that worried.

Wow. Good luck! I'm sure everything will be fine and your vision will be fabulous and I'll be so envious.

:D

I've been wanting this for so long :D I'm glad I finally took the steps to get it done (I'm really good at putting things off for so long that they never get done, I'm cheap like that).

Oh man, maybe I'm a wimp but that would be frightening. But good luck and tell us how it goes! My mom's been talking about having this done so I'd love to hear from someone with some personal experience.

The only part that freaks me out is you're awake for it. It doesn't take long (like 5-10 minutes) but the thought of being concious as they're slicing up my eyeballs scares me.

I'll defintely make a post about it once I can see again though. :)
