I’ve been wearing glasses for myopia since I was 15 years old. Little by little I’ve become sick of them. I wore contacts for a while, but in the last couple of years, they seem to be itchy and hurt most of the time. Not a nice experience.
I’ve wanted to get laser eye surgery for 10 years now. It was never the right time, I was doing other things.
Finally, I decided to do it, and booked my appointment for March 12 2010. I’ll be going to the Bochner Eye Institute in Toronto and am pretty excited about it. A bit freaked out and icked as well, but excited nonetheless.
Well, was it ever a good time to book it, it turns out that on Monday, during the “big snowstorm” we had here in Toronto, I couldn’t wear my glasses, since they were just getting wet. I went to the park with Molson.

When I got home my glasses, which I had kept in my pocket, were broken in two! It’s the first time in more than 20 years that something like this happens.
I guess it’s a sign from nature, I need to have laser surgery, and soon. The time has come to do it.

Who would have thought that it would be so mild in Toronto in late February?
It was beautiful yesterday, so Molson and I decided to take a long walk at the lake shore. We had a great time and were tired the rest of the day!
