Well, yesterday I had my Lasik procedure and it ended up being a bit more of a hassle than I thought it'd be, but it ended up working out fine.

At the moment I'm recovering, so my vision isn't 100% - but I can see pretty well considering I just had the procedure done. I can do most things (after all, I am typing this blog), but things are (expectedly) a little blurry. I should be 100% recovered within a few days. It's very weird not using glasses after having to use them for so many years. There was a moment where I put on my glasses, just by habit, and they made my vision much worse, then I took them off and my vision was much better. Reminded me of the scene in Spiderman when Parker firsts wakes up after getting bitten by the spider and did the same thing.

Anyways, the procedure itself was somewhat of a struggle. I have some eye-twitches and other subconscious movements that I tend to make with my eyes, which ended up messing up the procedure in the post op room. It actually took 3 tries, but I ended up just fell asleep the third time in the post op room, allowing the flaps of my cornea to heal and for me to go home and rest.

The actual Lasik wasn't a big deal at all. It was frustrating to have to repeatedly go into the operating room to seal the cornea, but the actual Lasik wasn't too painful. I'd say it was similar to getting a cavity done. Once you have the shot to numb your mouth a cavity is a breeze.....well, once they setup the clamp on your face so you can't close your eyes, it's easy.

The last few days I've gotten some goodies in the mail from PokerStars. First, I got the Sunday Million jacket:





Then, I got a cool medallion type of thing they give to those who final table EPT's. This is the first year they started giving these out. This comes from my 6th place finish at EPT Barcelona of course.





That's all I got for now.

Later,
