I'm just gonna ramble because I need to get it off my chest.
So my daughter has worn glasses most of her life. She's very long sighted. Anyway there's a surgery she can have done where she may not need to wear contacts or glasses or if she did they would be a very light prescription.
The surgeon is one of the top in his field but he has never done this to someone so young. He has ask permission if he can consult with his colleagues. Yeah yeah sure.
It's elective surgery because someone higher up has decided that her eye sight is a luxury. We will cover it but it's her eyes and with every surgery there's risks.
I haven't told anyone because my mum is going through her own cataract procedures and I don't want friends going "the poor thing" because she's actually really excited about it. I'm trying hard to get over the fact that they want to drill holes and cut slits and insert foreign objects into her beautiful eyeballs.
And then my fridge dies and I'm deciding whether it's ok to keep a quarter bottle of fish sauce which is passed it's bb date when this kinda shit is easy for me to decide. I tipped it down the sink and now my kitchen smells.
Thank you for listening. โค๏ธ
Hope it all goes well for kiddo. My experience with ophthalmologists is they are extremely cautious. Always risk but they generally take as few as possible.
And remember young means faster healing :)
Love to hear about your trust in her, so glad she has you by her side looking out for her!
Eye surgery is one of the hardest fields to get into. They're pretty skilled.
Yeah I know and I have every confidence in him and his team. She could have lasik but it's not guaranteed to help and once you start chipping away at the eyes, you can't put it back. Where as this procedure involves putting a lense behind the cornea on both eyes and if it doesn't work they can be taken out. That's a lot of fucking around with eyes.
I have to keep telling myself this is not about me. She is excited and I need to focus on that but fuck it's hard. I feel sick.
It sounds tough but it's really up to your daughter. Would doing this to her eyes now help her out long term? If her eyes would just get worse then it might be good to correct things early. I'm sure she's aware of the risks involved
Yeah thatโs tough. If your daughter has any uncertainties or questions at all, thereโs nothing to stop you booking another consult with the surgeon to go through all the questions and possibilities. Ask them whatโs the youngest person they did it on successfully, why does the age matter, would he be comfortable telling you no if he thought it was too much risk etc. itโs an important decision and sometimes young people (or anyone!) can feel overwhelmed by doctors and feel they canโt ask all the questions they want. That said, if she and you are feeling confident you are fully informed and the doctors are confident, then Iโm excited for her to be glasses free!
Yeah we're both fully informed. We've asked a lot questions. He's really good at explaining things.
The reason they wait a little is because eyes can change up until your early 20s (I can't remember the exact age. I did ask) but hers are stable.
This sounds like it would be a good thing for your daughter.
Glasses and contacts can only do so much .So this will help. ๐
End of my work week bby, cheers! ๐ป

Domum nunc sum.
Bunyip was a mildly interesting town that I would never move to. The second picture is a view of the main street.

I frequently the town for work. Its old people, hills and the bakery used to do a fantastic pie but new owners changed that.
Oh no, turns out the FM synth I got off Aliexpress has a bunch of different firmwares out there that all look really good. I just bought one because it was a capable synth that was surprisingly cheap, I saw it as a potential beatmaker but not much more than an elaborate toy.
You can turn this thing into a groovebox, play Doom on it, make it a dungeonsynth machine. I thought they were cheap but the real cost is in buying multiple to have each firmware at hand at all times. I can't believe what a sucker I've been
I've got a lot on my mind rn. First thing I'm gonna do is sort through all the fridge magnets. Discard all the shit ones, relocate all the good ones. A lot of memories there. I wonder what is lurking under the fridge. My bet is atleast one olive and some dry dog food.
Which are you favourites? I have a Square Enix one that I love. I also have lots of magnets from places I've never been thanks to a tradition in a friendship group.
Thinking of you in this complex time
Discard all the shit ones
I have about 30 plumber/electrician/roof ones that are there on mine for no reason if you need any more.
Last day of work for the week (for me lol, the others still have to work tomorrow). I should get home in time to still use the daylight to do my nails, they're quite chipped. If not this arvo, then tomorrow.
Anyone want to give me colour/patterns inspiration? I'm up to try something new lol
With halloween coming up, maybe something themed? Red with black spiderwebs done with a toothpick?
I'm currently rocking butter yellow French tips on a sheer pink base. And daisies on three fingers. It felt spring like.
That sounds utterly adorable!
