that was one of the most singularly weird experiences of my life.

[rmd]

so, i got lasik. seems to have gone well. i've got a next-day followup appt with my optometrist later today, but i woke up being able to see. actually, i'm a tad farsighted at the moment, although that should fade as healing continues. i'm still spending a lot of time hanging out with my eyes closed -- i'm doing blind touchtyping of most of this entry, for instance. i'm still light-sensitive, and my eyes are easily tired, but so far, so good.

it wasn't *nearly* as clockwork orange as i expected.

and not only did they give me free sunglasses, the price had also dropped since i'd booked last october, so i saved some money, too.

also, i've got clear shields to put over my eyes when i sleep, and so i ended up fitting them in front of the bathroom mirror and made sure that the cpap mask didn't interfere, and i made a shocking discovery, what with being able to see clearly while wearing the cpap mask. i don't look at all like darth vader with the cpap mask on. with the right angle hose joint poking out of the mask, i look much more like gonzo the muppet.

heh, i was a terrible patient. they put these funny shields on me when i first left the doctors office. i went straight home and just passed out with the shields on. however, as soon as i woke up i tore them of and went straight out to a party. i never wore the shields again.
