Flap ‘n’ Zap

12Jul2006 Filed under: Happiness & Health

Have I mentioned that my LASIK surgery is tomorrow? As part of my research, I forced myself to look at pictures of the procedure. Tomorrow that will be me, Clockwork Orange-style. I will be wide awake, but heavily sedated and in that special place that I can go into during yoga, pap smears, dental work, and other times of out-of-body calmness.

Eww! But not nearly as scary as I thought it would love. Gotta love the lasers.

Good luck, I’ll be thinking about you.

Now that I know Lasik also uses a speculum, I’m going to have to avoid it. Pelvic exams are bad enough.

How’d the surgery go?
