My eye has been lasered, and it's responding nicely. Five minutes with the laser, but it was weirdly uncomfortable. I don't know what it would have felt like without the numbing (which I think was necessary for all the poking the poor eyeball went through). I didn't feel it in my eye, but with each pulse there was a pressure inside my head and a very unpleasant metallic snapping sound like those spring steel snappers you can get. It zinged around my skull and poked me right above my spine. And there was a vibration in my sinuses. I don't know if the machine was making a noise at a weird pitch or some effect of the laser itself. The doc nodded in recognition of my complaint. I think I'll try earplugs next week and see if it's sound or vibration.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I hate getting lasered in the eye more than getting an injection in the eye. Although that might be because I had Valium for the latter but not the former.
I hope everything falls into place, Liese!
Ugh Connie, sounds uncomfortable, although very living-in-the-future!
I'm going to take a stand against getting anythinged in the eye. Especially without valium.
I really want a nap.
I really do not want a laser in my eye.
Frickin' lasers!
A nurse stood behind me to help hold my head still, but I was told I was very good about not moving. I was staring down the barrel of a laser that was going to preserve my eyesight. Frozen as a terrified baby fawn under a bush, doc, you do your job, I'll do mine.
Hey, Jilli, have you ever been to ScareLA?
Sounds unpleasant, Connie. I hope you won't have to undergo too many treatments.
Calli, any time I start to work out I am starving all the time ridiculously. Even if I just went to an extra yoga class or something.Not just me, then? Well, that's reassuring. Thanks!
Tomorrow I'm off to a family event in MI. My nephew's getting married this weekend. His fiance is delightful--I'm so glad she's joining the family.
Okay, phone call of the day! Colleague (male) in call center: "The patron wants to speak to a woman because she wants your opinion on some wigs and hairstyles." Me: "Okay, I am a woman..." Caller: "I wanted a lady's opinion on two separate wigs." So she told me how to find images online and I looked and gave her my opinion.
