Can't Think of a Catchy Title for This One Either.

I stayed home from church today with a sick child, so i thought I would steal some blogging time. Here are a few pics from my eye surgery adventure.



It was a beautiful morning, so I snapped some pics as we approached the ferry terminal. It is just a gorgeous view. I just wish all the light posts, etc, weren't in the way.



There is our ferry. We have a love/hate relationship with BC Ferries. It is very expensive to travel on even though it is an essential service to us locals.


This is "Honey"- as our 2 year old calls him- seems I must call him that a lot.


NEXT! This is my last pic with eye glasses.

Believe it or not, this was the best of 3- my husband refused to keep taking them so I could find a flattering one.



These are some pics from our hotel room in downtown Vancouver. We were on the 35th floor!

The morning after surgery. Not in too much pain,and looking fine! I think that the eye center might want this one for their brochure...

TO leave things on a more positive note, check out the sunrise below!



For all of you who are thinking of corrective eye surgery. It is a definite miracle! I am not done healing yet. PRK takes longer than Lasik. I was suprised by the level of discomfort and light sensitivity on some days, but in view of the fact that I will have 20/20 vision soon, how can I complain?

Okay - I have questions -
Was the procedure itself painful or just the recovery? What kind of pain - can you describe? I'd like to get it - I am so sick of contacts and glasses. Ugh.

Also - I was surprised when we moved to TX to find that the ferry here is FREE - you heard me - paid for by the highway department. Amazing - since the last time I had taken a ferry from Delaware to NJ it cost us around $75 - yep!
How expensive may I ask was your ferry ride?

Oh, girl! I LOVE those pictures...they are truly gorgeous. I would love to visit there.
Glad that you are feeling better. I can't imagine never having to fool with glasses/contacts again.

I love BC! So beautiful!

I don't know what the ferry costs out there, but I was appalled by how much it cost to cross Conferderation Bridge to get to PEI. Apparently the ferry is just as expensive as the bridge.

Thank you for the laughs.
Girl you are too funny!
And I can say that because I have asked Keith to take pictures of me and then rejected them because I did not like the way I looked.And then he looks at me like I am nuts. The truth hurts!
And I love that you took a before and after. At least you had an excuse. But you were still beautiful.
Trust me---I have my contacts in and can see you better than you can see you.
Thank you for the tour of your home. What a beautiful place to live. And thanks for the picture of the hubby---he is a very patient man. ;)
So is mine. ;)
