We're back! & Bring out the LAZER!

We're back stateside & jet lagged! Landed @ 10 am CT in Kansas City on Weds, and discovered how 70 degree weather can feel cold after 3 weeks of the 90's... It's good to see family and friends in Malaysia, but MAN... its great to not sweat ALL the time! Decided to gut out the remainder of the week and go to work @ 6am until we get over jet lag...That's what caffeine is for.
2 days later...BRING OUT THE LAZER!!!!! What's the first thing that people should do once they get back from a long overseas vacation? Go get laser eye surgery of course!!! Elaine and Yeesin decided to go get LASIK surgery together for mutual support on Friday... They tried to get a group discount too, but the doctor's office staff weren't too impressed with that suggestion!!!
All in all, the preparations for sugery alone was a lot longer than the actual surgery itself. Both of them needed to be prepped via cleaning the area around the eyes prior to surgery. Elaine got regular LASIK, while Yeesin got the PRK kind... PRK's a little cheaper than LASIK but the recovery time is a little longer too (more TLC for Yeesin is due then). Here's a couple of shots of them in the prep room. Check out their matching hairnets... I can almost hear "do you want fries with that" coming out! less than 5 minutes after surgery, they were ready for recovery...













1 day later... both of them are doing fine, reminding each other to administer their eye drops once each hour and 4 times a day... Here's a shot of them putting in the eye drops...in sync !!!
