Signing off for now

Post by mette » Sun Jul 03, 2005 8:37 pm

Hi all,

I'm not going to be around for the next 3-4 days :cry: . I'm going to the hospital tomorrow to have my eyes fixed (LASIK) :D . We have to leave very early tomorrow (6.30 AM) :shock: , so this is the last time I check in being very myopic :wink: . I'm not allowed to read for 2-3 days after the procedure :cry: , but maybe I can get DKgiz to read the forum for me :lol: .

I'm beginning to feel the nerves coming on :roll: , but I hope everything will go as planed :D .

I'll let you know how it works out :D

Take care :D

Thank you all for your good wishes :D

Don't feel sorry for me. Be happy instead :D . This is an operation that I really want. I have in fact wanted it for half of my life. :shock:

I just got the jitters now and it seems totaly impossible to sleep. I have to get up in 5 hours, so I better go give the sleeping thing another go.

Definitely signing off for now...

Mette, I'm so thrilled with my surgery results, I keep telling everyone that eye surgeons today are real miracle workers.
You go in with blurry vision, it takes about 15 minutes, no pain and no anesthetic required, and then you can see clearly. It's absolutely amazing.
You have no need to be scared - although I was for the first eye. The second one was easy-peasy, lemon-squeezy.

Good luck to you Mette. I know things will go smoothly. Any surgery is unsettling so just take a deep breath, you'll feel better. We will all be here waiting for your return.

Good luck, Mette. I've heard nothing but great things about that surgery. At the time of this post, the surgery is probably over and you're seeing the world so much better! Congratulations!

Hi all,

This is DKgiz writing for mette, the surgery went very well. :D
She says to thank all of you, for your kind thoughts and wishes, she is not allowed to sit in front of the computer or read for the next couple of days, so I will be doing her reading for her. Her vision is still kind of blurry, so the next week will tell how the end result will be.

But she will be back with af vengeance in a few days

DKgiz. (with mette on the sideline)

Hi Mette and DKgiz. That sounds wonderful, but you should have had my eye surgeon. He didn't seen concerned about me reading and computering - what he did say was that shouldn't do anything strenous for two weeks following surgery, and that included cutting the grass and the dreaded H-word (for you DK, that means "housework" ! ! ! ! !). And remember, I had each eye done seperately, two weeks apart so that meant one whole month of rest and relaxation :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

It was wonderful while it lasted, but it's just about over now. In fact I did my share of the grass cutting yesterday with our temperature well into the mid 90Fs and heat indices about 115F. Very much too hot. If I had three eyes, now would be a good time to have that one done as well.

I, like most mothers, always told my daughter I had eyes in the back of my head, and one day she was searching through my hair, looking for them. Now if I could just find them, I'd be able to see well in all directions, and have another month's vacation

Hi all,

I'm reading a little today :D it varies a lot how well I'm able to see, but today I had allmost perfect vision outdoors :lol: I can't tell you how fantastic it feels to be able to see without glasses or contacs :shock: . The only one who truly understand is probably Ann (your reamrks made me laugh :lol: :lol: :lol: ).

It also means a lot to me that I have all you guys and girls caring about me. Thank you so much :D :D :D

I better stop before I strain my eyes too much - I don't want to risk anything. :roll:

Mette :D

Now would you do use all a favor? Send Popo home so she can give us the answers to her brain teaser she left us with. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: I've still only figured out about 1/2. :?
