For as long as I can remember I have had to wear glasses in order to see. I believe that started in 2nd grade, but my mom would know for sure (and she will probably make note of that in a comment).
Anyway, I have always thought how cool it would be to wake up in the morning and not have to squint to look at my clock and see what time it is, or go swimming without having to worry about water spots on my glasses, or (insert favorite reason why glasses suck).
But that will all change on October 10, 2008. After much consideration and talking with my eye doctor (he's pretty cool) I have decided to get Lasik done. Now, mom, before you freak out, the doctor I am going to is probably the best in the nation and sits on the investigative board of the FDA for refractive surgery. This guy, Dr. Durrie, comes highly recommended by my eye doctor and the coolest thing is that I know for a fact that Dr. Durrie has done a Lasik procedure on someone with almost the same correction as me!!!
Before you ask, the reason I am waiting until October is so I can take advantage of my flex plan at work to pay for this. Our sign up is in September and the plan year starts October 1.

So, you will be blind when your anniversary starts, and be able to see by the time it is over? Pretty cool! Congratulations!!!!
My friend Diane went to KC to have Dr Durrie do it! She is very pleased!
That is great Son! It was the second grade when you got your first pair of glasses. It was my understanding at that time, that there was some type of optic nerve damage caused by the high fever you had as a baby. Maybe they were wrong. If lasik can fix the problems HOORAY for you!! I will try to promise not too get excited about them working on your eyes, after all I am your MOM and it's my job to worry!! :) It will seem different not to see you with glasses. Where is the doctor located anyway? Congrats all the way around!! Love you
Never mind, Andrea answered the question.
It's absolutly amazing what they can do now days. Good luck!!!
