Woweee!

I never knew it could be so good.

Well, my assignment is still not quite finished, but I am re-lasik'd and completely thrilled at the result. I was far more nervous this time than the first time for some reason and I'm sure that the little sedative pill had precisely nil affect on me. The lovely Ernest, who used to remind me of Carson Daly but now seems more like Christian Siriano, calmed my nerves by telling me a BALD FACED LIE. He sat me in the big, comfy chair and said that Dr Kent would shortly be along to locate my corneal flaps with a high magnification thingy and mark them with a pen. So I was all relaxed while well-dressed Dr Kent marked out my corneal flaps, then Ernest came to fetch me and said 'ok, well now that your corneal flaps are loosened the rest of it is a breeze'. Then he gave me an evil look and said 'look, if I told you the Dr Kent was about to take to your eyeballs with a sharp surgical implement, you would have just freaked out, so I had to lie'. He did it so convincingly too... can't be trusted....

The rest was all flap and zap and then I went home had a glass of wine and my sleeping pill and woke up this morning going 'wow, wow, omg, wow' because everything is so sharp and crispy and my eyes don't hurt a bit and I want to cry with happiness and hug people, softly, so that they don't squeeze me hard and dislodge my corneal flaps (note: this would probably not really happen, but I'm a special case and can't afford to take risks). I've been assured that the chance of regression this time is small because the correction was 'tiny' but I"m still going to be very cautious, sleep with my shields on for way longer than is necessary, wear my dark glasses when I use the computer, avoid contact sports and sex, use my eyedrops religiously, wear a full-face helmet whenever I venture outside.. you know, all the recommended stuff, plus my unique additions to them.

Jase just got a package in the mail. Guess what it is?? .....
It's a special lens that cost heaps of money and it's for the sole purpose of taking photographs of Kek at her competition. It's designed to cope with whatever dodgy lighting conditions may or may not be present and does lots of other cool stuff too. No pressure or anything, Kek, but it would be best to wax well. That thing could photograph the hairs on an ants balls (thanks to the lovely Steve for that cute little sentence).
