The other night at our meeting I had this idea for a blog after listening to anesthesia stories. But when I fired up my laptop, IE crashed or something and I had to reboot. Luckily the DH keeps his Alien (it's a computer, FYI) up and running at all times, so here I am. On Mozilla which works way better than IE. Duh. I really need to figure out how to put Mozilla on the laptop.
Any whoo, my original post thought. How to make a serious surgery become humorous. Woke up one morning and decided contacts sucked, especially mine since they went blurry quite a bit. What's the use of $600 contacts if you can't even see out of them? So I picked up the handy yellow pages and actually found a LASIX surgeon right down the street who could see me that week. Off I go to wait, and wait and wait and finally see said surgeon who has an available spot for me. Yippee! I get to cheat God. Not many people have that opportunity. And live. DH drops me off and leaves to rewire the entire house since there is a short somewhere and once again I wait. Laser eye surgery teaches you that. Then it's MY turn. I'm given a couple of pills (valium maybe??) and sent to a blue room with a bunch of other druggies, I mean people waiting to have their eyes cut. This whole time I'm thinking, valium isn't working. Then I stand up.
Whoa, Nellie! They do the surgery, slap on some eye protectors and send me home. Now the DH is unaware that valium shoots me to the moon in a semi-conscious state and has parked his car outside. I'm mostly blind and totally doped and walk out the door looking for DH. It's dark and there is a man standing by the door. Is he DH? I ask, get a grin and a no. He asks what DH looks like/drives so I mutter something and manage to get the nice man to point to a car. I open the door, stick my head in and ask if he's my hubby. Score! DH was like, OMG.
Anyone else have something similar happen?
And in case you're wondering, I HIGHLY recommend Lasix. It's great. Went from legally blind to 20/20. Yeah technology!!! It wasn't powered by microsoft. :)
can we wear one of these at conference? 'Cause that would be AWESOME!
For Christie!
hahahahahaha

biscuit took pictures of me with his camera phone after they made me wear one of those blue hats!!! that's ok ... i would've done the same thing. he was a very good care provider.
are contacts hard? i've never used them?
OK. So how did DH's computer get the name of Mozilla?
to answer: I've worn hard and soft contacts. Not hard to care for but I had the special kind that were a pain in the butt, not throw away and had to take them out to sleep.
Mozilla is an internet thing like internet explorer or netscape. An Alien is a brand of computer. www.alienware.com
