Believe it or not I'm a little sad that my new special eyes are working out so well.  I got my new glasses today and they are normal looking.  I only need a very minor correction for my distance and a little bit for my close up so I got a no line bifocal.  My eye doctor informed me that my vision is so good that I could pass my driver's test with no glasses or contacts.  I never thought I would see that day.  Ever.  And I don't have to wear contacts anymore.  Just my normal, regular glasses.  It's weird.  I've worn contacts for the last 26 years of my life.  My old glasses have made their way to the city dump now and my contacts (spares included) have made their way to the city sewer system.  I'm sad but happy at the same time.  I'll post a new picture soon of me rocking my new glasses so ya'll can see the difference.

The cataract surgery is complete.  I still can't see. Well to be fair, I can see way better without glasses or contacts than I ever have in my life.  However it isn't great and I've lost my close up vision totally.  It's all blurry.  But I will be fitted for new contacts/glasses on February 14th.  It just sucks in the meantime.   Everything is so bright and shiny now.  And BRIGHT!  I cannot believe how bright everything is.  I wear my sunglasses inside.  I'm such a freak! I also managed to score myself some nice Propofol when they did the second eye.  I totally freaked out when they did the first one and the doctor decided it would be best for everyone involved (me, him, the nurses, the receptionist at the check it area, the janitor, etc...) if I was completely out when they did the second eye.  It really did make things easier.  (rubs hands together in quiet reflection of a job well done scoring drugs)...
