Eye Surgery

As many of you know I was born cross eyed. To help fix the problem I had surgery when I was one and three. Since then my eye have started to drift off and the official term I have now is strabismus.

Because of this I've had problems talking to people. They think that I'm not looking at them. Although while I was teaching, I would give the "stop doing that look" and five students would stop misbehaving since they didn't know who I was looking at.

I always knew I would need to get another one, but I've been scared to do it for years. For one, it is surgery on your eyes (super scary), and I was too lazy to deal with all the insurance red tape.

So last year I finally got up the courage to go in and see what could be done. To my surprise they said that I could get it fixed with surgery no problem and then I would have 20/20. So we set up a follow up visit and I was super excited to get it fixed finally. Then I found out I was pregnant and had to put it off.

Now, one year later I finally have it set up. I'm still really nervous since they are doing both eyes, but John (who had the surgery one eye) said it isn't that bad. Apparently I won't be able to see very well or at all the first day, I won't be able to drive for a couple days, and my eyes will be itchy for a while, but it is worth it to fix my eyes.

FYI: totally keeping up my ab workout so far!!!
