Seeing clear
For years Bret has been squinting at the TV, street signs, and just about everything, but has not wanted to get contacts or glasses. He felt it was better to live in a blurry world that deal with the hassle of them. Today, he took care of both of those problems by getting Lasik eye surgery. Here he is undergoing the procedure. He was in a room with a glass wall that we could watch the whole thing. They even have TV monitors pointed towards you, so you can see what the surgeon sees through his eyepiece.
Here is his cornea flopped back so they could use the laser. This is the point that Briana lost it and started crying, "Why did they take his eye out?" I had to explain that his eyeball was indeed still intact in his head, and maybe she shouldn't watch this kind of stuff. Of course, the whole time all Adam said was "Cool!" and "That's awesome!" 
Tomorrow he has to go back to get checked again, but he's very excited about the whole thing! Sorry about the quality of the pictures, but they are off my phone that I had to forward to Bret's phone, and then e-mail to myself. It's all a little confusing!
And, as I was posting this I started thinking.... Now I have blogged about Bret's eye surgery, Adam's hernia surgery, and my thyroid surgery. The only one who hasn't shown up yet is Briana, and I'd certainly like to keep it that way!!!
