Blah.
I should not drive with my glasses at night!!!!!
I'm wearing my glasses until Thursday afternoon, because Thursday morning I have a consult to see if I am a good LASIK candidate or not. They told me that I shouldn't wear my contacts for two days prior, so little overcompensating me decided to give it a full week. And then I left for the grocery last night (ok, it was 6 pm, so I have trouble calling that "night" but it was dark out!) and thought I was going to end up in a wreck at many points. If you google for a photo of how the side effects of LASIK can give you halos around lights -- I SEE THAT NOW! So I wonder if that means I'm more or less prone to ending up with that side effect if I actually psyche myself up to go through with this?
I actually sat through the laser surgery infomercial yesterday afternoon, just so I could get a good look at the equipment. It wasn't for my doctor (mine's at OSU) but I figured it was the same general idea.
I find it unfair that I went to bed early enough last night to get 8 hours of sleep and yet I feel as if I could go to bed for another four or so. I cannot wait for the daylight to start increasing again!!

Let me know how it goes. It's something I think I'll have to do within the next few years.

I'm still not certain I'll go through with it, even if they tell me I'm a candidate because of the ick factor and the $$ factor. I thought I'd check though, because we do have medical spending accounts here, so I can at least get it tax free that way.
