Dental implant and LASEK, part 5: pushing my limits
The 29th I note I was able to take a nap at work. Clearly I was not looking forward to that Friday's dental work. Clearly too the flaw in the air mattress was costing me sleep. Got a new one. I have a memory foam mattress but it's hard on my ankles, which are a perpetual problem especially given my substantial weight ( Read more... ) -
Dental implant and LASEK, part 4: back to work
The 19th and I'm back to work. Air conditioning is very uncomfortable and the sunlight through the windows even on a cloudy day is uncomfortable. Part of that is anxiety--without window glass, am I getting too much UV? Again with the notion that one screw up will leave me blind. That's part of why I'm writing this, to reassure the next persion ( Read more... ) -
Dental implant and LASEK, part 3: Day 5 +
I taped the sleep goggles on and slept well finally. There was (and to some extent, is) the fear that one mistake at this point in healing could leave me with a blind eye or two, and that's terrifying. Knowing the goggles could not slip off in the night removed that worry, so sleep finally came ( Read more... ) -
Dental implant and LASEK, part 2: the next few days
I had the good sense to schedule the LASIK on my week off. LASIK with an eye recovers within a day for a nearsighted person, but leaaves you with a vulnerable eye flap. Because my purpose with this was to make sports easier, I went with 'EK. This has a longer recovery time ( Read more... ) -

VNV Nation. The b/w photo is from http://www.benwolf.de/1874057/vnv-nation though it's mostly blind luck that I know that--it is so widely spread that a search of it will give you a ton of results before you ever get to Ben Wolf. The link is worth a look, however, since the photo session involved vintage clothing. The suits those men are wearing ( Read more... ) -

Rode my bicycle today for the first time in months (coasting down the hill for GISHWHES notwithstanding). A whole five minutes up and down gentle slopes (because there are no flats near my home). I will pay for that later, but right now I feel pretty good, and glad to feel my heart beating again. Though five minutes, admittedly in sub-freezing ( Read more... ) -
Quick Skippy note
Overworked Skippy today, having spasms in my leg because I took the cafeteria hill with just the stirrup, not the boot brace. I thought about going to physical therapy tonight but decided against it--I've got a Skype I promised to do this evening and didn't want to be rushed ( Read more... ) -
