• t minus 16 hours
  

   ....or so until the PRK surgery.  A big shout out and thanks to Rveblade for the PRK info.  Its good to have a doctor in the house.

  I've been trying to get ahead of work because I'll definitely be out Wed-Friday.  Work has been super busy lately anyway.  Usually I have lots of time to blog, facebook, pintrist, Hulu, etc etc etc.  Alas.  All the things I will miss doing with my eyes. 

  I picked up my Valium last night and I'm going to go down to the library and get a book on CD to try and not be bored out of my mind.  I'm trying to mentally spin this as a spiritual retreat-- instead of the kind where one takes a vow of silence, I will take a vow of blindness.  If I try to think of it as a positive challenge to overcome perhaps I can defeat the terror, pain, impatience and frustration that wait for me.  Perhaps.

  I did realize while I was reading those PRK blogs about not being able to see, that people were still BLOGGING, so I guess it can't be that bad, right?

  With that, I plan to have Kyohei document the whole thing with photos tomorrow.  Why not have fun with this.

  Also on a positive note, while I won't be able to swim or wear makeup for a time... there are NO restrictions on alcohol.  Thank GOD.  If I can't wear eyeliner, I will definitely need a beer... hell, I won't be driving anywhere anyways!

  wish me luck
