Seeing Sean

Let's face it, this guy can pull off glasses.

He's been wearing only glasses for weeks in preparation for corrective eye surgery.  I have great eyes and can't imagine being dependent on contacts/glasses like Sean (and lots of people are).  A few months back I told him 'if it were me, I would have already had surgery'. So we started looking into it. 

Two days before surgery Sean had his eyes dilated again. We learned Sean was a better candidate for PRK - not LASIK. There are advantages/disadvantages to both. Unfortunately, PRK has a nasty recovery time. PRK's other big difference (which explains the pain) is scrapping off the top layer of your eye before the lazer-ing begins. Surgery only took about 15 minutes. 

Sean claimed he wasn't tired, but the Valium was really slowing him down.

As soon as we got home, he said he didn't want to nap. He wanted me to put in the movie "Hitch" (he claimed all the dialogue would help him listen.) 5 mins in and he was totally knocked out.

He's been wearing sunglasses 24/7. Because he's drugged and always closing his eyes, he tends to fall asleep a lot. Everywhere.

At one point he was awake and said he'd like sushi. I was happy to get out the house too. Unfortunately, he's not too much fun to take anywhere right now. 

Sunglasses everywhere. He sleeps with them on too.

In tradition of eating taco's at our reception a year ago, we went out for Mexican.

We only went to one hour of church today. We sat in the back row.

We head back to the doctors this Tuesday. Until then, he has contact lenses in his eyes to help with the healing. The contacts make things blurry. Poor guy still can't drive. (He's not feeling up to it anyways). Fingers crossed he'll be back to 'better-than-normal' soon.
