Ladybutt's dad has quit chemo.

After the latest round of radiation with the yttrium beads for his liver cancer, he went in for a follow up because he was turning yellow, docs found a tumor in each lung, and "a sizable tumor" in the sac around the heart (pericardium?)

Soooo... Yeah.

Turns out my vision is all fucked up. I've decayed to 20/40 since i got my lasik a decade ago. Which is actually good, as that meets the qualifications for a "free lifetime correction".

Additionally, i have a "unusual texture" on my cornea thats hazing my vision that i have to see if i can get worked out right. At the moment, just OTC eye drops 4 times a day

The Mrs. is headed in to get her eyes laser-beam pew-pew'ed today. She took a Xanax this morning, so she doesn't give half a shit about anything, but I'm nervous on her behalf.

I hear they only burn through the back of your head once out of every three times now...

Everyones different, but expect about 3 days of "sunglasses all the time, continual tears (not pain, just recovery)" and then 2 months until you forgot you had the lasik.

You might need to help her open her eyes when she wakes up. My tear ducts kept going in overdrive when i slept, and basically pressurized my eyelids with tears. Since you cant rub, you have to gently release the eyelid and open the flood.
