Exciting News!
It is confirmed that I'll be getting Lasik! My surgery is scheduled for next Wednesday.
So right now I'm currently a combination of
YEAH!
and
AHHHHHH SOMEBODY HOLD MY HAND. /o\
I went to the hospital today for a consultation to see if I'm eligible for Lasik. My number was 69 (get your mind out of the gutter, please) and the doctor took one million years to go through her patients. :T Seriously, my aunt and I went out for lunch and when we came back the number only moved from 35 to 40. It was supposed to be a late morning consultation (I arrived at the hospital near 11) but it turned into more of a late noon consultation (I finally got called in at 2:30). It doesn't help that I was 4th to last of the entire batch of "morning" patients. ._.
The good thing about all that waiting was the consultation took only 10 minutes, cause I completed all the check-up info for the doctor during the time I was waiting for my turn. So that was pretty efficient! My poor eyeballs though, they have been so thoroughly abused today, I mean, they did so many things to my eyeballs WITHOUT WARNING. (Okay, to be fair, I probably wasn't listening and was all like :D? as I followed the nurses around the room to various stations.)
First, they used the machine to check the degrees (or is it intensity?) of my eyeballs. The thing that caught me off guard was the damned machine was equipped with a SEKRIT SQUIRT GUN that squirts some unknown liquid into your eyeballs. Ugh.
Next, THE NURSE HAD TO POKE MY EYEBALLS TO SEE THE THICKNESS OF IT. WHAT? They dripped numbing stuff into my eye so I couldn't feel the actual instrument that was POKING MY EYEBALL, but it's really weird because you know how there's like a jelly layer coating your eye? So basically imagine that you are poking jelly; except you're INSIDE THE JELLY and you see the incoming poke indenting the jelly. That is what I saw when the nurse poked the instrument into my eyeballs, homg. /o\
THEN, they had to make my pupils dilate before they can take MORE data with the machines, so they dripped some stuff into my eye that does that, and DUDE IT'S SO TRIPPY, I can see people quite clearly but when it came to written text my vision was extremely blurred despite having my glasses on, and I felt extremely dizzy. The entire time I felt like a vampire because I shunned the sun like whoa since my pupils couldn't control the amount of sunlight that enters my eyes SO EVERYTHING WAS SO FUCKING BRIGHT IT HURTS, AHHHHH.
So finally all that sadistic eyeball torture was over with, and my aunt and I waited and waited for me to be called. We kept chanting under our breath when the next number pops up, "Please don't get up, please don't go in," hoping the next patient wasn't there so the number can jump ahead quicker. It worked sometimes. :D
Between the chanting, occasional snoozing, and waiting, we watched a bit of news on the TV that was installed in the waiting area. Apparently today is suppose to be Taiwan's doomsday, according to some fancy smart-ass pants on the news. We are suppose to get a magnitude 14 earthquake, in which Taiwan will be split in half and all will be gone forever. But fear not, said fancy smart-ass pants has a safe place built on top of some fucking mountain with shit tons of bags of rice, enough to feed the Taiwan army for an entire year there.
So we're just kind of sitting there in the waiting room going like :l at the TV screen. The next breaking news segment was about how the police officers are after the smarty pants guy for sowing unneeded panic and disturbance amongst the people. So I was like, "So what the hell happens to all that rice now?!" (Yeah, typical for me to think about the food first) And she said, "That guy probably never paid for them, anyway." Oh dear, haha.
What did happen though, is that we got a tornado. Tornado's are unheard of in Taiwan, because we are in a warm tropical area. We only get typhoons as a result. But damn, we seriously had a tornado, like, there was a legit video of it on the news. That feels more like doomsday warning than a bloody earthquake imo, when things appear in places where they should not appear, you know? /o\
That is my story of the day! I really am not cut out for adventuring daily, because I am so tired after that one trip to the hospital. Planning on going to bed early today!
