You should be ok..if anything you may need to take it for a longer time. FML is a suspension not a solution, it must be shaken before use for maximum effect. Did they tell you that? Yeah, they did tell me that. It was actually pretty cool. They tape the operation and they actually let whoever is driving you home sit in the viewing area and watch your eye being sliced and lasered as they do it. I never realized how squeamish my father is until he not only refused to watch but couldn't even handle being in the waiting room. Go figure. It made me laugh and at the same time it gave me another glimpse into the man who is my father. It reminded me that he is a person. What a strange revelation even at this age that I still see my father as super-human. I thought of you and your eldest at that point. As you know I went years without talking to my father; not being able to be in the same room without feeling like I would explode with anger. I am convinced that it is these little moments when a daughter sees the first man in her life as a man, and not as a god when we begin to feel compassion for the man who loves us with all his flaws and despite all of ours.

Hopefully I will talk to her before she is old enough to have LASIK I hope so too, but that is partly up to you. Don't let your pride get in the way. If there is anyone in the world worth your wounded ego, it is your daughter. I know they have hurt you deeply. Just please try to have compassion for them, for J in particular. Try to imagine what kind of shape you might be in if you were a teen, with multiple issues (medical, social, emotional, etc.) and an overprotective mother who makes all of these worse and feeling abandoned by dad even if she is the one pushing dad away. Try to remember how unreasonable kids are when they are 2 and 3. I imagine it is much the same at 15 and 16. Don't let her push you away. Hang on. It took years for me to rebuild my relationship with my father. You have to be in it for the long haul.

I'm sure that was really cute.
You need to get a picture posted of that over in the Gallery. I will animate for you if you want.

Oooh- I LOVE belly dancing! I haven't been in a couple years, though - last time I tried the class had changed from traditional to choreographed, it just wasn't as fun....
