Day 16 (Right), Day 6 (Left)

There comes a time in a post-laser surgery patient's journey when they ask themselves, "What will I do with all this stuff?" What stuff, you ask? Here's what I'm talking about:


I have quite a selection of frames ideally suited to narrow oval faces with highly myopic eyes (as well as nearly a year's supply of -7.0 and -6.5 daily wear disposable contact lenses). Do I offer the frames to my younger sister? My mother? Perhaps I can ask them each to pick a pair or two and hope they don't want the same ones.

Today, Jon and I needed to fix up a rental for new tenant's who move in Thursday. I drove for the first time since surgery to buy eight bags of gorilla hair mulch and weed screen staples for the yard. Alas, I couldn't actually spread the mulch around because I'm still in dust-avoidance mode. Jon will do that tomorrow while I stay safely at home in a dust-free zone.

I ventured out again in the car at dusk and drove myself to the gym for the first time since surgery to take a body pump class. My vision is blurry, especially in my left eye, but I didn't experience any night vision issues. My follow-up exam for my left eye is tomorrow. I'm eager to ask if the level of blurriness I'm experiencing is typical for this stage in the healing process.

  1. So far so good except for the hairless gorilla

  2. Conspicuous consumption is the spending of money on and the acquiring of luxury goods and services to publicly display economic power—either the buyer's income or the buyer's accumulated wealth.

  3. In economics and business decision-making, a sunk cost is a retrospective (past) cost that has already been incurred and cannot be recovered. Sunk costs are sometimes contrasted with prospective costs, which are future costs that may be incurred or changed if an action is taken.

    1. My sunk costs are in the photo. Hopefully, they can be of use to someone else with an oval face and high myopia. :-) The surgeon's office has a charity donation dropbox for frames.
