Done!

Scariest thing ever! Did I mention I'm a big wimp?

Went pretty quickly. Brought us back. Checked my eyes again. Gave me Valium. Waited. Gave me more Valium. The sweetest assistant talked me down a bit. And then I told them I was ready.

They took me back, gave me a big Mickey Mouse to squeeze and covered me with blankets.

David got to watch the whole thing through the window and on a screen. Good thing I got this done first cuz I would never have gone if I'd seen all he saw!

It was done really quickly, like probably six minutes. The sweet nurses helped me stand up, walked me to the corner of the room and asked me to tell them the time. Voila! I could see the clock!!!

The drive home not so fun as my eyes burned like crazy and being the neurotic that I am, could only assume the worst. But David confirmed with them that that is totally normal. I went to bed and tried to sleep. Now, I feel pretty good and lookin fine in my safety goggles (totally necessary in my house!).

And, I can see the tv from my bed with no glasses! Amazing!

Big Thank you to my mom and stepdad for coming down at the CRACK of dawn to get Junie to school, pick her up and help out with the kids!

Please excuse any mistakes-valium still in my system! :)
