Sisters

 

Not that the song depicts who we are, but it does show sisterly love.


On March 5th my baby bro drove my sister and I up to the TLC laser eye center.

During our eye exams my sister went first. She was sitting in "the chair" and I was watching. As she looked in the mirror and read the letters I read them on the wall behind her. When my turn came I read the letters right to left - they were left to right when I was sitting and waiting :P - Dr Barnes asked me if I was Jewish.  It didn't even register that I had read them backwards until he said that.

Bahahahahaha!

Then as I was looking through the spectacles that they check your vision with. The one where you say if 1 is better than 2 or 3 is better than 4. I changed my mind on one and Dr Barnes told me to make up my damn mind. He totally wasn't being rude. It was hilarious.

Later he stared to walk into the room we were in and Shirene redirected him to the next room. I told him to make up his damn mind and we had more laughter.


The staff there is a lot of fun.

On March 12, the day of surgery, we got all checked in and my sister paid. They brought us the paid in full bill and it says "Both Eyes collected on behalf of Dr ____"

When the lady who checked us in and took my sisters money walked by I said, "I have a concern. You didn't tell us you were collecting our eyes and we would really like to keep them."

Sister

Me

Big belly laughs ensued. Jokes about eyes stored in jars and more teasing took place over the next half hour.  Like when we went back to get prepped and have our eyes wiped with iodine, they said they were taking us back to collect our eyes.

I have had many surgeries and at none of the previous ones have I laughed so hard, so much.

I watched my sisters right eye get done and then I was prepped and taken to the surgical suite. It's cool beans ya'll. They talk you through the whole thing and then you walk about about 15-20 minutes later and you CAN SEE!!!!

Afterward we put on our snazzy new sun glasses and our baby bro (who is really 6'3", buff and available) drives us home.

 The driver- baby bro

He did this 2 years ago with TLC and I love them, highly recommend them, and would drive someone up just so I could hang out with their staff.

On Saturday we had to go up for our one day check. I asked Dr Barnes if he preferred me to read the letters left to right. He laughed and said, "You Mormon Jews, what am I gonna do with you." I laughed. 

While you may not really be able to see a difference between these eyes, but I can SEE a difference.

 Forget that I have glasses on in the first one. :P








Thanks sister. It's been a fun journey and I have you to thank. Love ya!
