Finally

Ok, the truth for me has hit. It only took a few days, and to be honest a few moments of thinking What in the World Did I do??? But...I can now see very clearly. It was a few tense moments and a few bad thoughts.
So.. From now on I'm planning on being honest with people when they ask about Lasik! It is a great thing to be able to see clearly. However, it takes time so everyone who said it was an instant thing perhaps has forgotten. I pray that I never do so I can help others understand.

Let's have the truth!

Ok, it's time for the truth. While Lasik I'm sure will be one of the best choices I've ever made, the healing process is NOT instant. So many told me...I saw perfect the next day. And while I have moments of very clear sight, I just wonder if it's like childbirth and the healing was forgotten by all those that talk of it's wonderfulness.
Not that it's painful, as it isn't. Instead it is frustrating. At moments you see clearly, then like now, it becomes hard to see the computer. It's like looking through a swimming pool. I know it takes time, it is after all major surgery not just a quick thing. I think we forget that it isn't just a quick fix because it goes fast and you do see overall better right away. Just the same it's frustrating at first.
I'm trying to work and get some things done, but small reading details are hard right now as my eyes adjust. I've called and they say that is very normal, just the same it's a bit weird, and makes you question if it will get better.
So...if you are out there and hand this done, please fess up...Was it perfect immediately or did it take the healing time of the 3-6 weeks to really be perfect. I wouldn't discourage others from having it done because of that, but maybe being ready to really take the time to heal and get ready for the frustration mode would be helpful to some. Especially since it might help you to realize that nothing is wrong, it's just in healing mode.

I Can See Clearly Now the Blur is GONE!

Wow! That is the best word to describe the Lasik surgery! I was truly stressed about the first part, won't go into details for those of you who don't like medical type stuff. I think I about broke the one ladies hand during that first part, but as she told Phil she could tell I was relaxing more and more as I went through it.
Basically came home and slept the rest of the day. My eyes are still a bit blurry off and on today. But the weirdest part is being able to see this well without glasses on. I keep thinking, I should have them on. It's like a mental game to try and convince myself that I am seeing well and don't really need them! BUT IT IS COOL! I'm glad I did it, and trust me, ask my friends, if I can do it pretty much anyone can!

Crazy Time

Schools now out and the crazy days have just begun. In the midst of having to figure out baseball schedules, and hockey schedules and my work schedule I'm now having Lasik surgery on Friday. It's just a crazy crazy time.
Yet, Life goes on and this week

Dominic Hasek has retired for the THIRD time. Hopefully, this time will stick.

Off to the races...todays destination Chuck E Cheese! At least they get FREE tokens for report cards!

Let's Hear it for the BOYS!

Wow! It is amazing how watching your team win a championship never gets old. I watched the cup wins in '97 and '98 and '02 and it was really exciting. But nothing has yet to match up to watching the excitement on our 8 year olds face as he watched his team win the first cup that he remembers.



Wings deserved the victory. They fought hard all season long, and made the team of young and old work to create an exciting package of players. Personally, Ozzy, was the only choice for the playoffs and he proved it yet again that he is who the Wings should stick with. http://www.nhl.com/nhl/app/?service=page&page=NewsPage&articleid=365315 Check out the articles,

Way to GO WINGS!! Enjoy the moment.

Well this sucks!

All set to clinch the Stanley Cup. I suppose that was a bit prideful, but who doesn't think their team is going to pull it off when it's only one game that needs to be won?! Even let the 8 year old stay up for the WHOLE thing. We were on the edge of our seats. There was truly nothing more Ozzy could have done. Nothing more the team could have done, aside from getting a goal actually in the net. So we live to fight another day, live to need tums another evening, live to allow an 8 year old to watch and hold his breath. He set up his webkinz appropriately named Stanley Pup the chocolate lab, the Chihuahua Nicholas (for Lidstrom), his penguin Zetterbird, and his frog Osgood. Hat trick his Red Wings dog was even watching the game. In the end he went to bed in tears. We went to bed frustrated as well.
I could whine and say that if the refs had a clue what goalie interference actually was the game would have been different, but...now we wait.
Wait for a new day, a new game, and a new desire to win.
Can the Wings pull it off...You better believe it! Will we let our 8 year old watch and wait again...oh yeah! If nothing else, we now won't have to worry about pulling the kids out of school to make to the parade.

Being that we did watch the game with our 8 year olds I'll leave you with a quote, ironically enough from the Penguins of Madagascar "Well this sucks!"

Go WINGS! The next one is yours!
