It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
The surgery itself was slightly uncomfortable-- more weird than anything else, because they numb your eyes. After the local wore off, it felt like the sulferous onion sting for a few hours. After about five or six hours it was normal. Today my close-up vision (particularly looking at anything white or lit) is blurry-- like looking through new glasses that have been smeared. But apparently my vision is now 20/15 in both eyes.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Congrats, bon bon! Just remember your eye drops and it will be GREAT! I'm celebrating 8 years glasses free AIFG! I'm still better than 20/20.

bon bon that's so cool! Yay! God, I can't imagine waking up in the morning and being able to see things! Or not having to bend over in the shower to pick up the right shampoo. How exciting!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
was I one of those people? I think I was.
Jesse was for sure, but I can share.
I think I was cheaper than you and only bought one pair of hose when I needed them
That was only one pair. I suspect I need stronger support than moderate, because my foot is huge beyond "varicose vein" size, but I have limits. I guess the tights will be appropriate for the right foot.

Today exists because it is the first day in twenty-odd years I'm not wearing glasses! I got LASIK last night, peoples!
Wow! So... you were awake when they scrubbed your retina or something, right? I really can't get over the "conscious" part of that procedure. Go you!

Yay for laser surgery! I'm waiting a few more years until my middle-age eye change is locked in before I go messing around.

They do numb your eyes. Most of the procedure you can't tell what they're doing, but they need you awake (at least for this type) because you have to focus while they're doing part of the procedure. The only things I could tell what they were doing without being told is when they were sort of cleaning my eye off, and when they lifted the flap, my vision changed. But for most of it you're staring at either a light or the bubbles they create under your cornea, which is grey.
ETA: also I got a Xanax to calm me.
