Here for a little

Yay! I'm back in internet land at last! Well technically I was back last night and had a lovely chat with [livejournal.com profile] ladytalon1, but didn't do much else. I've spent this evening reading everyone's posts from the last few days (boy are you folks prolific!!), but tomorrow I'm off again.

Yes the day is here! I have my final assessment tomorrow morning and if everything is fine I have the procedure on my eyes in the afternoon! How quick is that?

Initially I decided to get my eyes done here (at my niece's house) cause I'd have a place to stay afterward and someone to look after me. But our dates didn't mesh too well and my niece has already gone overseas and her housemate who was going to look after me has to go somewhere. So I'm going to look after myself with assistance from the little guy. Wish us luck and hopefully I'll be back Saturday afternoon with new vision and no glasses!

EditDon't forget that bidding continues at until the 22nd September! There are lots of Firefly folk out there offering their services and the money goes to a good cause. If you've got a few spare dollars why not go and bid on someone?

Reports up and thanks so much for the luck. I'm sure it all helped!

I had it done a few years ago - best present I ever gave myself.

Best of luck!

It's great to know others have done it too. So far so good! I wish I'd done it sooner :)

Good luck with the surgery. And tell the child that he needs to take good care of you! Let us know how it went as soon as you can. :)

He did a pretty good job :) I've written a very long report for you all to read! Now hopefully I can get to work on the birthday fics...

That’s very sweet that your son is going to look after you. I hope recovery time is minimal. Luck!!!

P.s. If my hubby wasn’t controlling the funds right now, I would totally bid. I really wanted a Marcus/River vid. *sniffle*

He's not a bad nurse - though there was lots of mysterious thumping out in the lounge room. :)
Recovery - except for drops is already upon me - it's amazing!!!

Do you have a song in mind? I could give it a try - though I'm warning you I may be slow...

Really?! You don’t know how ecstatic that makes me! *Dances*

The song I keep coming back to is “I know” by Sarah Slean. It’s just so tragic and heartrending. I listen to it a lot while writing.

Take your time, I know you have a lot of other things you want to do with your new, shiny vision. : )

Best of luck! I'm sure the little guy will do a wonderful job taking care of you!

Can't wait to hear about the procedure and best of all the results!!
