T Minus Eight Days and Counting

Our trip to Seattle also included a first for me - a piece of designer clothing by Michael Kors, and even from an actual Michael Kors store! Just trying them on was fun, but when I saw that they weren't actually that expensive, I decided to go for it. What do you think? I'm more likely to wear them with ballet flats instead of these heels, but at least I know they look great either way.

Meanwhile, at my appointment yesterday I was relieved to hear that my iridotomy holes are still extant. Yay! All they had to do was take a million measurements (double- and triple-checking, I am happy to report) and set me free.  No pain, no panic, all good. And the best part is from now until my surgery, I can wear my contacts if I want to! As uncomfortable as wearing contacts has become, they sure beat wearing glasses, hands down.

Also, I used to whine about getting my eyes dilated.  But now that I've experienced the opposite, I don't mind a bit. Looks funky too!



My surgery is scheduled for early the morning of the 11th. I can't wait!  There are 3 other people having the same surgery that day, including a nurse who works there. I'm second on the schedule. The surgeon told me today that I will literally get up from the surgery table and be able to read the clock on the wall, and my vision will continue to improve for a week or two after surgery. As always, I will report back here!
