Loser

Filed under: Uncategorized - abcmomma @ 12:33 am

 That would be me. I’m a reject. I’ve been denied. I’ve been told to go away, that there’s nothing they can do for me at this point. I do not meet the qualifications. I’m not a good candidate. I’m too much of a risk. No soup for you. Goodbye

Actually, it’s "No LASIK for me". I went to the surgeon’s office for my pre-op appointment yesterday and he discovered some abnormality in the thickness of my cornea. It usually wouldn’t be a big deal, but since someone in my family had an eye disease that resulted in cornea transplants, the doctor decided that it would be best if I didn’t have LASIK or PRK surgery. Maybe in a few years, another type of surgery will be available for my prescription where he can implant a plastic lens in my eye–it’s currently being done on patients with stronger prescriptions.

So until then I have ordered another pair of glasses to replace this old crooked scratched-up pair.  *sob*

If you or someone you know has had this lens implant, tell me how you/they like it.

I am so sorry for you! Lasik has been a godsend for me. I hope the new surgery comes soon and offers you the option.

I’m sure I’m a loser too, I just haven’t asked yet. My little sister and my mom were already rejected. So sorry– at least you get to pick out some cute new glasses!

why don’t you get contacts?

Sorry to hear that.
I know that my MIL and SIL both had some type of corrective eye surgery, but I couldn’t tell you what it was. My MIL still needs reading glasses, but I think my SIL is good, and her glasses were really thick.

Aww!!! I’m sorry! I know you were totally looking forward to it! That’s a bummer!

On the other hand, at least you look cute in glasses!

Sorry :(
What a bummer, I hate my glasses, I’m done with contacts, next year I’m thinking of getting it done. I’m crossing my fingers.
Well, at least they didn’t say “NO forever”, there’s still a possibility, right?

I need to check your blog more often…I was just thinking today that I needed to call you and see how all the Lasik stuff was going (wasn’t it scheduled for today?). I’m so sad for you! :( I know how much you were looking forward to it!
