Some kind of drops. Everything is dark when they plane the eye. Then everything is blurry when they flip the layer back. The eye gets lasered. All you see is a red light and hear some zapping. They rinsed, flipped the flap back, rinsed again, then used a really soft brush to smooth things out.
Then repeat all this on the other eye. The only pain was a lot of stinging on the way home. Took a quick nap when I got home and no more pain when I woke up. Had almost perfect vision the very next day. That was about ten years ago and I am just now starting to need reading glasses. The surgery was well worth the money for me.

Long story goes back a long way but when I was a kid, I got completely sick off doughnuts and can't eat them to this day. I'm talking horking crap up that looked like two-headed serpents flowing from my head.

I admit I was nervous. You would be an idiot if you were not. All in all not bad. I even went back 6 months later and had them tweak one eye. I was more nervous the second time if you can believe that! lol
Well, I do believe I am off to bed.

I told him when I get out of my truck I always look around before I stick my holster on my belt so I dont get the cops called on me for no reason even with my permit. I told him thats how I noticed the vehicle going 2mph with a driver wearing a hoodie while it was 90* outside. I doubt they ever found em. Ironically they hit the local Dunkin Donuts not 4 hours later (Seriously).
I was debating on whether or not to leave the gun in the truck since I just needed a spool of wire which I figured would be like a 2 minute stop! Good thing I took it...
I go everywhere with my weapon in Petersburg. Seems like the entire city has one, legal or not...

I was watching Fox News this morning, and they did a story on a bakery in Belgium that had been broken into once a week for the past 3 months. The owners of the bakery stood a life size cut out of Chuck Norris in the middle of the store and left a small light on so it would look like the Chuckster was really in there. They also had a sign in the window that read "these premises protected by Chuck Norris security" they have not been broken into in the past 4 weeks.

I went to Radio Shack like a month ago and the check cashing place next to it got robbed and I had to ride around in a cop car for 3 hours. Im not a small guy and my knees were in my face just very uncomfortable.

I told him thats how I noticed the vehicle going 2mph with a driver wearing a hoodie while it was 90* outside. I doubt they ever found em.

No I don't plan to drop that far trust me.
I am wanting to get under 200 pounds.
I was at 208, and want to go back to around 195 to 198....But i am taller than average to, so at 100 pounds, I would likely be dead.
