sounds like things are going well for you.  If I read correctly, my mom just had that laser lens surgery on one eye along with a cataract removal. she said she was sedated and it didn't hurt. She is going to have the other one done next week.  She told me that she can see really good with the one eye and won't need glasses afterwards. She has worn bifocals forever so this is a real treat to her.  I hope you have the same success. My mom doesn't have to worry about money so she is fortunate to get the best care. It's funny, I worked in hospitals for years before I had my stroke 5 years ago.  I could watch anything, people coming into the ER that were coding after a bad car accident, watch open heart surgery, but can't stomach anybody having something done to their eyes to toenails..creeps me out. Good luck, you are a brave person.  Lori
