Elective Surgery
Has anyone ever gone into elective surgery? Eye surgery, plastic surgery, experimental? Tell us your story.
I'm about to get laser eye surgery, and I'm pretty excited. I'm not nervous or scared, but I do realize that there are risks and inconveniences. Its all coming out of my pocket, so I had to wait for my year end bonus. I'm just remaining positive overall. I can't let worrying about being that unfortunate 1% of people who end up worse off totally derail this. I know I have a long life ahead of me, but I have been wanting this for a decade.
I'm not eligible for that surgery where you wake up the next day and see perfectly; I have to do the one that is less invasive, but takes longer to recover. A co-worker who has had it tells me she loves it... so I am optimistic. I just have to wait longer for my results.
