The Ferry

On the way to Jack Fish Lake you can either go through North Battleford or take the ferry across the river. Shayne and I always take the ferry because views are outstanding. It always reminds me of something from Dances With Wolves. To my surprise the countryside in Sask. is full of hills and valleys. I took this picture right before got onto the ferry.

Odd Clouds

For the long weekend we went to Jack Fish Lake just outside of North Battleford. The view without glasses is unbelievably clear and crisp. This cloud seemed to follow us the entire way there. It was HUGE.

Bug Eyes

This is a horrible picture of me and it looks at lot worse than it was! After the ( and even during) surgery, I had NO pain and no problems at all. My eyes were a little tingley and they sort of felt like there was an eyelash in the corner. They advised that you go home and sleep for a few hours, but I am not much of a sleeper. I just talked on the phone and listened to the tv with my eyes closed. Then they recommend that you wear night guards so that you do not scratch your eyes in the middle of the night. I actually did not notice them at all throughout the night.

The next day after the surgery, I went for my follow up appointment. We were there about 15 minutes and I went through the typical chart exams. I now have 20/20 vision without my glasses. I have never been so excited and happy with my eyes. I cannot even believe the freedom that I have already experience. We went shopping for regular sunglasses today and then went to see Star Trek. Even movies look better! It is absolutely amazing and I am SOOO happy that I have done this.


I do have to thank Shayne for taking care of me, I appreciated it!

After

This is the dark area where you go after your surgery. I was SOOO relieved just to have it done. The procedure was completely painless and quick. I cannot believe that I was even worried at all about it! I stayed here before they examined me one last time before home time.

Petrified

I was so nervous before the surgery. They gave me adivan, but at this point it really didn't help much. I was so thankful that Shayne was there to take my mind off of everything even if it was only for a little while! At this point, I just wanted it to be over.

This is the last stop before the surgery room and you could actually hear the laser working. Believe it or not, that actually helped so that I knew what sort of noises to expect.

Last Day With Glasses

This is a terrible upclose picture of me, but Shayne insissted that it needs to be this close. I am having eye laser surgery tomorrow and if everything goes accordingly this should be the last that you will see of me with glasses. I was not allowed to wear makeup to work today and I cannot wear any for the next week. Everyone came up to me today and either said that I was dangerous with a bowling ball or asked if I was ok because my eyes looked puffy! Wish me luck!

Beautiful Thank You Note

I received this beauiful thank you note in the mail today. We went to Nicholas' baby shower on April 26 and it was fantastic. I have been friends with Marzena since I was 13 years old and I am so happy that her and Dave have been blessed with Nicholas. I probably could not even count how many hands held this baby that day and he hardly fussed at all! What a good baby! This thank you note is one that really touched my heart, thanks Marzena!
