Jeese, I havent posted in forever have I? Well, as most of you know already, Kakkoicon was absolutely fun, dispite not really doing much Kakkoi-con stuff. XD It was nice seeing everyone, even though I kept Manda up because I flop around like a fish at night. Sorrehhh..
Lets see, a quick review of whats happened since then. Almost got deployed to New Orleans for Gustav, which was insane. Finally prepared and was ready for it, and it turned off the hell button and floated through the gulf without much damage. So that was a good thing.
Thursday though, last thursday that is, we lost a helicopter during training around 2000. Three people pronounced dead on the scene, one coastie still missing at sea. there's no way he's still alive. The base is sorta rocked, and everyone's scrambling to get things back to normal again, there's a big memorial going on tomorrow. Unfortunatly I might miss it because of the big thing to come here next week.
Tomorrow I have to go get my medicine and prepare for my eye surgery. My vision right now is in the ballpark of 20/400 far and at the same time 20/60 near. Stupid Astigmatism. I'm right on the edge of being allowed to get this surgery, and hopefully they'll be able to fix my vision enough that I'll be able to at least find my glasses in the morning. Thats all I wan't. To no longer be blind.
So what they're doing is called PRK, which is where they take a chemical to soften the skin on your eyes and then buff it off with a little brush thingy. Then they use the laser to fix the cornia's shape, and then over a month or two the skin grows back and your eyes are no worse for wear. With lasic they cut a flap in your eye that never heals. So in the long run PRK is the better choice, and besides, my eyes are too bad for Lasic apparently.
So next week i'll be like...laying in bed with blood and ooze gushing from my eyeballs. Perfect time for such an insane plot on poly huh?
I still need to app Patty for SH. UUGH. Damn lack of inspiration.
