LASIK.
I don't exactly remember what it stands for, but it basically stands for eyeball surgery.
If you're a patient of the one and only super-celebrity Dr. Boothe, then it stands for an extremely early eyeball surgery. How early you ask? Well I'm pretty sure I'm getting picked up at 4:00am. The mystery man picking me up couldn't have been more unclear, but he's supposed to call me. The only people who should call that early are drunk people who don't even know they're calling, but I digress.
I was just reading over the post-op instructions I was given the other day at the doctor. Some (actually, most) of the instructions are fairly ridiculous. I'll list a few, and you all can look forward to my next post, which I plan on titling "what they never told you about LASIK"
Until I'm told otherwise, I'm:
- putting four different sets of eyedrops in my eyes in time incriments ranging from evert 10 minutes to every hour
- wearing goggles while outside for a week
- not sleeping under a ceiling fan or using any type of fan for 90 days after surgery
- staying awake for the first five hours after surgery
Stay tuned, the next post will be typed as I look through goggles. If ol' Boothe will allow it, you better believe there's gonna be a picture.

please abide by the wearing goggles rule. if only for other people's amusement it'll be totally worth it.
oh, and I'll be sure to remove all ceiling fans from my house. i wouldn't want any fan/eyeball related injuries spoiling the party.
