The surgery went well on Friday and as of yesterday a.m. (one day post-op) the typical grittiness feeling was almost gone. My vision was also pretty stable at 20/20 -- very cool! My eyes just felt kind of tired, as if I had my contacts in for too long and today that sensation is even less in spite of a restless night trying to sleep on my back with the fool protective goggles on. Will write more early this week, but thanks again for checking in! I'm trying hard to stay away from the PC, but you can see it didn't last long. Hey everyone, thanks for your wishes!

There's be no way I could stare at that light. When I go in for my regular appointment and they have me stare at that little light I always start blinking, eyes watering like mad. Good luck!

When Julie had her eye surgery done and told me the bit about having to keep your eyes fixed on one location, I tried it myself. I'd have two big smoking craters where my eyes were if I ever attempted LASIK. Indeed, good luck.
