Good on her! I've got a gripe, how do you get a song or in this case, a diddy outta your mind? Here's mine: Alligator pie, alligator pie, If I don't get some I think I'm gonna die. Give away the green grass, give away the sky, But don't give away my alligator pie. I can't stop singing it!

Hi Ish, I think I will definitely have some things to add to this thread over the coming years. I also had lasik surgery. July 3rd 1999. I haven't worn glasses since. After I woke up from my valium stupor and walked out into the living room, I looked out the window and could see each and every one of the fir needles on the trees in my yard. I bawled my head off for 10 minutes. My husband was amazed. He said: "Honey if I had known that this would have happened we would have had the surgery done years ago." I was elated. I had worn glasses since I was 12 years old. No more! Yiiiiiipppppppeeeeeeee Good luck with your new thread. ;) M PS I've only been banned from one thread so please be kind. I have a really funny story to tell about compliments but I have to take the trash out and water the garden. It's hotter than H*** her in Seattle. My vegies are crying, I can hear them all the way from here. Later

I had laser PRK four years ago. It was painful for 1 day per eye (felt like sand), but now my vision is very good. I think that Lasik is preferred because it has less pain. However, PRK has faster healing time. Anyway, having been previously dependent on coke bottles to see, this was a very liberating procedure. The weird thing was after the surgery, I quit wearing sunglasses. I never knew why, but I just did not like wearing them anymore (to the point where I preferred squinting inthe bright sun). Turns out that I still have an astigmatism, and the shades caused my eyes to dilate, which caused minor visual distortion. I ended up buying a pair of prescription sunglasses.
