ooooh my EYES!

Sometimes life is rather unexpected.

At Christmas I decide the best gift I could give Kyle is laser eye surgery to improve his eye sight. It was so life changing for him that I decided to look into it myself.

While we did his with little urgency, and over a several months saw our optometrist, the surgeon, and went through many consults, my experience has been quite different.

18 days ago I say my optometrist. Within hours I was booked in to see the specialist as I have "extremely thin cornea's" and due to a hole in my retina need to see a retinal specialist. Basically what took 4 months to do for Kyle and his stellar, perfect eyes, has taken 18 days for me.

I was anticipating having my eyes done on June 18th. However when I saw the surgeon this morning he said..."Today, we're doing this today." Talk about freaking a girl out!

And freaking out, I sure am! But, yet again, I'm being forced to put on my big girl panties and carry on. EGADZZZZZ!

Yeah I'm a little freaked out (READ: a LOT) but here goes....I hope it is at least close to as successful as Kyle's was!

I'll let you know how it all goes!
