This weekend

This is the boy in my life.

I like him. :)

this weekend we went to the golden bee to celebrate with

ben and melissa

in finding out the sex of their baby.

It is now a she!

We also celebrated Ben being done with one job

and starting another.

It was a great time

singing with the piano man

drinking beer

and just laughing.

Then afterwards

everyone came back to the house

and we played

QUELF!!

The most odd game ever,

at one point

james had to pretend that a pencil was mistletoe and

see if he could get me to kiss him

I turned about 8 shades of red

and then closed my eyes

and puckered

he put his cheek

to my lips.

it was cute.

Saturday

was spent riding on the back of james'

motorcycle

up to the hungry bear

and around in

Garden of the Gods.

It was the perfect day to be riding around on the back of a motorcycle

especially james' motorcycle!

LASIK

I got Lasik done last saturday.
It was incredibly quick procedure.
Laid down and after a few brief minutes probably like 5 or 6 I was done.

Since then the healing process has been hit or miss.
At work I have to work at a computer and do most of my work when
not with families at my desk and thus
my eyes have been hurting and burning.

I had monday off, took wednesday off cause my eyes were killing
and yesterday ended up having to take the afternoon off because
I was in so much pain.

So I went back to the doctor just to see if I was being a big baby
or there was really something wrong.
As soon as I walked in the doors
they looked at me and said wow your eyes are really red.
In my head I am thinking, "gee you think I don't know that, now fix it."

So they told me it was extreme dryness, they took pictures of my eyes
and I started crying while I was seeing the doctor because my eyes just burned
so bad!!

I wanted the numbing drops to put in my eyes just so I could work
and to get through the healing process. Unfortunately the drops apparently
make my cornea too soft. Honestly I did not care and just wanted
the pain to go away.

So it turns out I was not being a big baby and the pain was real.
The lady told me I was definitely having an adverse reaction and this
was not the norm for most patients. oh yipee, guess I get to be in the painful,
very painful minority :(

So they gave me a coupon for these special eye drops and basically vaseline for
my eyes. I can say that I have never thought that putting vaseline in my eyes
would be a fun thing to do, however it FINALLY brought relief to my
very red/sore eyes.

I got to a point last night after putting frozen vegetables on my eyes that I need to start
praying about this and letting it go. It hit me like a ton of bricks why had I not
been praying about this, so I started praying about it.

So today I awoke and my eyes were feeling sooo much better. I feel as though they

are finally starting to heal. Praise the Lord! Thank the Lord!!!

The crazy part in all of this is that I can see! I can see when I wake up in the middle of the night and look at the alarm clock. I can see details I have never been able to see before.
I can see fine print on stuff far away. I can appreciate all the small details
that I never have been able to before.
My vision is 20/15 and that is amazing. All in all I will say that this process
even though painful will definitely be worth it in the long run. I just
can't wait to get to the other side of the healing process.

Yeah for seeing!
