News aplenty
Okay, so a ton has been going on, but I haen't been able to write about any of it because I'm still partially blind. I mean, I can see, but I still can't see details, so I still can't really read.
First of all, let me fill you in on my surgery. I went to Glasgow to get LASEK surgery that I paid for months and months ago. Now, you've probably seen LASIK surgery on tv where you spend half an hour under a laser and then magically you can see everything and it's great. That is LASIK, not LASEK. LASEK recovery time sucks. They didn't tell me about the excrutiating pain until I was being prepped for surgery. I got all zapped, and the surgery went fine. I had no problems for the first day or so. Then the pain set in for about 2 days. I was on heavy painkillers a lot. Then I got the bandage contact lenses off, and the pain stopped, but I still can't see. They told me to expect a "dramatic difference" when the lenses were removed. It's been 2 days and I'm still waiting for the dramatic difference. I have to go back to work on Monday, but I don't know if I'll actually be able to do anything when I'm there.
But the more important news is that my brother's wife Jaime had twins! It was earlier than expected, but the babies are doing great and Jaime is getting better and better. They're adorable little midgets, and you can see pictures at my brother's blog at http://blog.wayfellows.com/
They still have no names, so they are still calling them Raisin and Kiwi. And the nurses are calling them "the Olson twins".
Gotta go. More medical appointments await.
