I'd be happy to talk to any of you individually about the surgery, but most of you probably don't care and would rather read about my adventure in 140 character or less descriptions. Thanks Twitter! (Are you following me yet?)

Trying to pick my outfit for a breakfast date with the LASERS. Somehow, this is one occasion I don't think a LBD will do.12:27 AM Jun 18th from web
Gosh I hope I don't have to learn to read braille. I don't even know how to spell it.7:51 AM Jun 18th from txt

For the record, my retinas actually burned, and the smell produced is something I never, no never, hope to have to experience again. #LASIK6:01 PM Jun 18th from web
Survived Lasik to learn a CONFIRMED CASE OF SWINE FLU in the office. I knew eating those Skittles from the kitchen yesterday was a bad idea.6:06 PM Jun 18th from web

At the eye doctor for the third time in four days. The good news? 20/20 isn't just as 60+ newscast any longer. What what.9:14 AM Jun 19th from txt
Eye drops of milky white color and consistency every 2hrs. Four days of lactating eyes sounds like an Enquirer headline or House diagnosis.4:06 PM Jun 21st from web
Mostly though, I like telling people I had cosmetic surgery! The payoffs have been greater and greater the further I get from the surgery. Never having to worry about popping a contact or itchy eyes has been well well worth the few minutes my eye-balls were clamped...!

You are hilarious. I just spent the last 5 minutes laughing so hard at your tweets. And to think, I could be more than half done with eye surgery by now....hm.
You're SO brave! I don't think I could handle it. The only way I get through even having blood drawn is the fact that I can NOT look at it. If I couldn't shut my eyes, I'd AAAAGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
I thought I successfully blocked the actual lasik experience but it all came rushing back when I read your post. You're right about that smell - nasty stuff!
I'm glad your lasik was a successful experience. I've enjoyed my new eyesight everyday since I had it done.
ok, i've been thinking about getting lasik for about forever. it makes me super nervous... but i would really love to see sans contacts/glasses. hmmm. are you glad you did it?
oh, and your twitter updates are hysterical, of course. i've asked plenty of ppl about it, but never heard about the smell. oh boy.
