No, it didn't hurt at all. I thought it might, but it didn't. And recovery time was really quick too. They had me fill a perscription for valium and I took it right when I got to the office (my girlfriend had to go with me to drive me home) and then about a half hour later they adminstered some numbing drops. Then right before the surgery they put more numbing drops in. The most I felt was a little bit of pressure. The worst part was a little bit of a burning smell while the laser was working, but other than that, it was just some pressure. Afterwards I felt great. I started vicodine right away in the office. They taped clear plastic sheilds over my eyes and told me to sleep all afternoon and night. They said to ignore the directions on the vicodine and take what I needed to stay asleep. So I got home and fell asleep around 3pm. DF brought dinner home around 6pm so I ate and took another vicodine and slept until about 10:30, took another vicodine and slept till the next morning. I went into the office the next morning and they took the sheilds off and checked my eyes. But b/c the sheilds were clear, I could already tell that I could see! My vision was a little blurry but within a couple of days it sharpened up. They started me on antibiotic and lubricating drops. I couldn't wear eye makeup for two weeks. But I could see!!!! I didn't go back to work the very next day b/c I didn't want to drive yet (but you could if you had to), but I was fine after that! The big rules were no eye rubbing (hard for me, but I don't do it anymore), no eye makeup and use the drops. It was great, and I would go into debt again in a heartbeat! The only thing that sucks is that now I can see if I missed a spot cleaning the shower!

I'm working on five more lbs. and I still want to tone up some. Especially my arms, shoulders and back, which will be completely exposed. So, I joined the community center in my city on saturday. I didn't know about it until a week ago! It's pretty new, they just built a fitness center and huuuuuge pool area. All the cardio machines are precore and pretty nice. They have weight machines and free weights for resistance training. And the best part is that there was a $20 discount on an individual membership, so I paid $38.34 for the first two months and instead of it being $19.17/month for the next 10 months, it'll only be $17.17!! That's a great price. Especially since it's not the grimy Bally's where DF goes and he pays $24/month!
So, she's taking that to Virgina next week to have it tailored a little better and she's all set for the wedding!! 
So, I'm not the only one completely freaked out that time is slipping by? 
So, I'm pretty sure that not everything she does/says is malicious. It's really that she is (very much like me) and emotion person, and she reacts a lot of times with out thinking. And she's very old school and has her own way. Acceptance is KEY! 
I'm working on it. 
I'm a dork. I know it's true!
