Lasik...to be or not to be that is the question!

Ever since I have been in third grade I have been extremely nearsighted BLIND.  I wore glasses until seventh grade...thankfully my parents let me get contacts before junior high or else I would have been deemed the biggest nerd.  Since then I have worn contacts EVERYDAY.  I only wear my glasses to get me from the bathroom sink to my bed.   Since January I have been having a lot of eye infections.  After three visits to my eye doctor in two months and over $190 in prescriptions the opthamologist has informed me that my eyes are starting to reject the materials that contact  lenses are made out of.  END.OF.MY.WORLD.  I know some of you are rolling your eyes or not thinking it is a big deal...but to me this is one of the worst things that could happen.  The eye doctor gave me two options....daily disposible contacts OR the possibility of Lasik eye surgery.  I have always wanted Lasik but there was two problems the costs & the fact that my prescription was constantly changing.  After a  lot of thought  I decided I would order a 90 day supply of daily contacts. To be honest, I thought I would be able to get at least 180 days out of these contacts.  But after one day of wear I realized there was no way to "save" the contact for the next day.  They are paper thin and kinda deteriorate after 24 hours.  They worked great!  I loved them until I realized they were a little less than $200 for a 90 day supply.   At that price I figured it would be worth it to invest in Lasik Eye surgery. So at about day 70 I called the Lasik eye surgeon. I trusted him, respected his knowledge of Lasik, and appreciated all of his research on the topic.  After speaking with the consultation specialist at the office I learned that in order to be a canidate for Lasik you must wear your glasses for at least 14 days so that you eye will return to their original shape.  I started this process on June 10th.  I dislike HATE wearing my glasses.  They are heavy, hot, and I have no peripheal vision.  I am supposed to go to the Lasik consultation on Friday.  From my understanding the appointment is anywhere from 2-3 hours.  They do all kind of tests to measure the thickness of the cornea, measure the fluid levels in my eye, dialate the eyes, etc.  I am nervous. I'm not nervous for the actual Lasik surgery. I am more nervous that I will not qualify.  I have already prepared Kevin for tears if I do not qualify.  Again I know that sounds vain or petty but it how I will truly react. I will be SO disappointed.  I am trying to think positive and be optimistic but I am also trying to be real.  If Lasik is not a possiblity I might as well start looking for a dog and order a white cane.  No joke! 

So you are wondering where this long post is going.  Basically I am asking my readers if they would PLEASE pray for me.  Pray for my eyes that they are healthy enough for surgery.  Pray that I have a ton of moisture in my eyes. Pray that my pupals are less than 7 mm in the dark. Pray for my eye doctor and the staff.  I will keep you posted.  Thanks for the prayers. My consult is Friday the 25th so please pray. Thank you HIL
