Now that 6 months have gone by (Yeah!) on my last hip, I went in to talk to a well regarded Lasik (laser cornea surgery to give you clear sight without lenses) doctor.
I went in as an exploratory thing, but was so psyched over this that I am having it done tomorrow on both eyes. This will be the first time I will be able to see well without lenses since I was 18 or so. I was found to be a good candidate for this (also!), so my only concern at all, and I told the people there this, was if my surgeon, Dr. Snyder thought this was ok to do.
I checked with Dr. Snyder's office, and the answer I got was that he doesn't want any procedures before three months have passed, but at six, he had no problems with it. I had specifically asked whether I needed any kind of precautions like at the dentist (anti-biotics), but the answer was that no special steps need to be taken. Very cool.
I thought I'd post this, since as we go on with life, these kind of decisions will be facing us, so here is one good result where the HRs have no impact on a different kind of procedure.
Of course, by the time I'm done, I'll be revamped and look like my avatar.
