Yes, I feel a bit guilty about spending so much money on ‘cosmetic’ surgery, but boy am I excited! No more fumbling for glasses first thing in the morning.

It’s going to be great! Everyone I have talked to who’s had it done said it was the best money they ever spent. Let’s hope it holds true for me, too. My surgery is scheduled for Friday, July 13th (no I am not superstitious). It only takes a few minutes and I should immediately see around 20/20; something I haven’t done since elementary school.
