hi everybody. I am not able to check email so I apologize for not being able to write you back. I've been chillin'. I habve been wearing goggles for the last few days. I am in such a good and grateful mood. I've been just talking to my friends on the phone and having such a fun time. This hotel is nice. My eyes are closed as I am typing this - I just wanted to say that my doc is incredible with his new machine. For example, he did the world's largest correction - a girl here went from a minus 15 diopter to 10/15 vision... this is the second biggest correction in the world - some guy in china had a minus 17 and got corrected to 20/20. I was a minus 11.5 so seriously I had like almost world-record awful vision in my left eye, and that's my shooting eye! Hey brides of the past - did you know that I was so blind? Shooting all of your weddings for those huge fees LOL. Anyway, things are looking up. My eyeballs are scratchy and I am on pain meds WHICH I LOVE but every once in a while I can totally see sharp things across the room. I am just waiting for the epithileal cells to form a new sheath across my cornea to shield the exposed nerve endings. Once that happens, I won't have any pain and the vision will start to zoom into focus. This procedure is a little more time-consuming in the healing department than Lasik since in real Lasik they cut a flap into the cornea and slightly c ompromise the physical integrity of the cornea - so in impact sports the cornea could become dislodged. In my case only a small layer of cells gets excised and so there is no cutting into the cornea. The exposed cornea's refractive properties are like "stiched" by a laser and changes the incoming light pattern so the focus point hits precisely the back of the retina. Great procedure - it is rare because this machine costs about a cool 3 mill. So it's not easily found - this is why I wound up in B.F. Fort Wayne Indiana. Everything is good I am dreading being able to see my emails.

OK... DUDE... QUIT TELLING PEOPLE THE SAME STUFF OVER AND OVER.

Gary has been sleeping all day and if he isn't sleeping he is on the phone telling the same people over and over about the surgery because he forgets he told them about it the day before. His poor friend, Ken had to hear it all about 3 times now. He forgets and we keep telling him "YOU ALREADY TOLD THE STORY" but he continues on and on.

SOMEONE SAVE ME FROM HEARING THE STORY AGAIN!!!!!

Oh and if you all could see him now you would be cracking up. He is sitting at the desk in the hotel room typing away with his eyes closed. Then every few minutes you will see him open his eyes and put his head about 2 inches from the screen to read what he wrote or to hit submit. It's darn funny. Oh and he has his goggles on the top of his head like a swimmer. (while he CHOMPS away on his gum)

I'd say it's true love Melissa.

Face it.

You love eachother enough to accept all of eachother.

Even the gum chewing.

And the same story, over, and over.

Oh - for Gary: BF Ft. Wayne, Indiana?

Lose the BF Dude!

BF stands for "basically fortunate".
Yes I love Melissa so much she is the most wonderful person I have ever met. Each day it grows deeper who knows maybe someday we'll go steady.

Denis had Lasik done- his vision wasn't nearly as bad as mine to begin with. He loves it. He had a procedure called "monocular" vision where he can have one eye for close distances (like seeing LCD screens) and one for distance but they kept his depth perception. There are great technologies out there. My procedure was for the super near-sighted, Lasik (regular( should be fine for most people.
