So far, it was one of the best decisions I ever made. I spent 23 years with cokebottle glasses, and now I have 20/25 vision. It might even be better at times. I catch myself every once in awhile realizing WOW. I can see that SO CLEARLY. Usually it's details in a tree's leaves, or the contour of a wall texture. At the time, I had the post-op complication known as "Sands of the Sahara" in one eye, but it was treated by my opthamologist, and all is well. If I could get slightly philosophical for a moment, anyone considering the procedure might also do well to contemplate scheduling a little light therapy afterwards. I didn't expect to feel as out-of-body as I did. Like, catching yourself in a mirror..oh, that's me. I look so different. Wow, did I really always look like this? The periphery is vastly different (in a good way). On the other hand, the slightest night-light in the hallway keeps me awake like a beacon lighthouse now. :) It used to be fuzzy comfort-light, but now it's BRIGHT(!). Just stuff like that. John, I took Lorazapam (2 mg) [Ativan]. I sailed right on through, barely remember the procedure itself, and slept for 8 hours afterward. [vbg] How's it going now? ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 17 Jun 2006 09:29:34 +0100 From: "Tim Dunn" Subject: RE: Alloy: UK/Scala attendees must read this! Hi all, I've had a minor tragedy - I now have to work the evening of the 23rd, so I'm not going to make the gig, even though I have tickets... ouch... So if anyone wants some tickets at face value let me know as I really want them to go to fans! The silver lining is that the reason I'm missing the gig is I'm working Press at the Wireless Festival which means I have to be there till late every night next week (I'll nip off early to avoid James Blunt of course!), so not only do I get to see Thomas from front of stage with the snappers, I might get some really cool pics from the interview room too! You win some, you lose some. What do you think are the odds on me getting anything coherent out of Dave Gahan from Depeche Mode??? Let me know if anyone wants the tickets! Ta, Tim ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 17 Jun 2006 06:37:05 -0700 (PDT) From: Melissa Jordan Subject: Alloy: Dear Lord, is that Brenda O'Leary's Hair?!?!

Out of my league these days, but dang, it's neat. Time to turn the computer off for several days. Cheers, Melissa http://merujo.blogspot.com - --------------------------------- Ring'em or ping'em.

I think that is the wig from the Grammy thing, but I guess he could have re-used it for Brenda. It does give you a picture of what Brenda looked like from the mouth up.
