Today Gill went down to the Lasik MD Vision eye center here in Ottawa and had her photorefractive keratectomy better known as PRK. We went down to the lasik eye center at 9 am and were there until roughly 1 pm. Most of that time was spent waiting and consulting with the optometrists and the assistant to dr Agapitos.
SO it all goes is like this.
1.) You go for your assessment where they look at your eyeballs and do a topography map to determine if you're a good candidate for the lasik procedure. During this process you're given an eye exam.
2.) The optometrist goes over the results of the exam with you and shows you your topography and explains what is going to happen and how the Lasik or in Gills case how the photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) procedure works. What happened with gill is that the optometrist took her results to the doctor and then came back with her having to do the prk because her cornea was too thin to do the Lasik procedure.
3.) You meet with the assistants and they explain the procedure to you and go over the eye drops you'll be given according to which procedure you'll be doing.
4.) Then you wait some more.
5.) You get the procedure. Takes all of 10 minutes. Seriously thats all it takes and according to gill she spent more time in the operating room waiting for the doctor to calibrate his laser than she did actually under the laser.
6.) you get out and put on some dark shades, you meet the assistant again she handles any questions and explains the drops and post op eye care once again.
7.) You go have a seat for an hour and then see the optometrist once again for a send home exam and off you go with new eyesight and a considerable amount of discomfort.
Gill describes the eye discomfort after the PRK as having acid being poured in your eyes.
But she said after walking walking out onto the street WOW I can See!!
So yes Lasik eye surgery is just like you hear in the commercials
Ok it's common knowledge that we all have some fear, of one sort or another. Real or imagined we all have fears.
For instance I have 2 fairly irrational fears, fear of heights, I think that if i am on a balcony in a building that I am going to spontaneously fly out over the edge and plunge to my death. Seriously I have this bizarre gut feeling that I am just going to somehow fling off into space, weird HUH.
Then there's The fear of flying(more fear of falling out of the sky in a plane one fire - but that's another story) and electricity, well more getting electrocuted. Ok that was 3.

Recently theres been some buzz about the feed lines about the facebook lawsuit apparently this "lawsuit" is like 4 yrs old. Man alot has happened with the founder Mark Zuckerberg since that time. The rumor mill has it that its going to be shutdown until the dust settles
Heres how it all began:
Before he launched Facebook at Harvard, Mark Zuckerberg worked for two brothers on a project called HarvardConnect.com that also wanted to connect students and alumni. you can get the full story on that little dirty trick from Venture Beat (the lawsuit that wouldn't go away)The lawsuit as I mentioned goes back 4 years. Because of a joint venture project that went the wrong way. The project that Zuckerberg and his partners were working was called ConnectU.
ConnectU.com, which was started by twin brothers Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss and Divya Narendra, has accused thefacebook.com founder Mark Zuckerberg of basing his site on their original project. The suit was filed Sept. 2 in a Massachusetts federal court.And finally some judge is trying to call it quits between the Hatfield and McCoys. Come on boy just kiss and make up or at least pay one another to go away.
As a sophomore at Harvard University, Zuckerberg wrote the code for ConnectU.com, formerly a project by the student founders called HarvardConnection.com.
"Basically, the idea behind the Web site, the original aspect, bringing social networking to the college level at various (campuses) ... that's what he took while claiming to do work for us," said Narendra, who graduated with his fellow founders last spring. Source for this 4 yr old story is The GW hatchet (facebook faces lawsuit)
A U.S. judge on Wednesday gave a group of former Harvard students two weeks to back up their claims that Facebook Inc.'s founder stole their ideas to create the fast-growing social networking Web site.....Ok in all seriousness. Isn't this what all great moguls do. Steal other people ideas and claim the glory. Um Microsoft did. All the robber barons of the of the high rolling 80's stock market frenzy did.U.S. District Judge Douglas Woodlock said in court the former Harvard students may be using the lawsuit as a ploy to extract a settlement from Facebook, and pressed their lawyer to produce evidence of a commercial arrangement with Zuckerberg.
"Dorm room chitchat does not make a contract, so I want to see it," Woodlock told the courtroom in Boston. Judge sets deadline in facebook lawsuit
new spock for their up coming new star trek movie.(July 26,2007) at Comic-Con in San Diego, J.J. Abrams and his creative team have revealed new artwork for the second teaser poster. The lettering may be familiar -- and once again we get an Original Series look -- but this time the logo is inverted, and is written with starry letters, all on a white background. You can see a larger version by clicking here.But of course the Trek fans will be kept in the dark I suspect until release date, which looks to be in 2008, or until some insider leaks more info and perhaps a synopsis of the new movie in the web-o-sphere. But you can guess it has something to do with the old series, or will be referencing an earlier period in the star trek universe, because Zach Quinto will be playing a young spock.
But that's not all! Confirming once again that this is a Kirk/Spock story, the casting kicks off with the announcement of Zachary Quinto as "Spock," who was joined at the presentation by the original himself, Leonard Nimoy. For the record, Nimoy will be donning the ears once more as well, confirming a storyline that would include both a young Spock and his older self.
Read the complete story here.
While im on a rant about facebook I thought it might be funny to document Gill getting lost on facebook. She sits behind me on her laptop and talks to herself while facebooking it.
What funny about this is she has like 9 million facebook friends and I always hear her madly clicking away at the mouse. SO when I ask her what shes doing she says something along the lins of I cant find so and so or where did i see so and so. I cant find them. Too funny shes getting lost in facebook, maybe facebook should have like a google map feature to let you know where in facebook you are.
