Hey, at least he didn't try to sing Creed's famous "With Eyes Wide Open.".... just sayin, coulda been worse.
I had a Chinese computer engineering professor for a semester who pronounced the word bit in a way that sounded like bitch, and this was a word that came up a lot in lectures. It goes without saying that a room full of mildly clever 20-year-olds got some mileage out of it. I distinctly remember an example we were going over where the design caused one of the bits for one segment of the circuit to be noisy, and she called it a "dirty" bit. She told us that the dirty bit could not be trusted, so we needed to ignore that bit, because it was a useless bit. I miss college.
Did it in 07. Was -6.25 & -7.00 and corrected to 20/15. The recovery was easy - just sleep as much as you can and keep your eyes hydrated. Waking up able to see was one of the most life changing, powerful moments I ever had. I wore glasses from 11-28.
Is anyone watching "Love" on Netflix? It's entertaining. I kind of have a thing for Paul Rust. Lamest crush ever.
Yeah, seems like everybody I've heard from has nothing but good things to say about the procedure. So we'll see (get it? HA!) how it goes. I'm scheduled to have the surgery next Thursday. Just in case... @Nettdata is there a Text to Speech plugin available for this place?
The Husband had PRK done. Ughhhhhhh experience. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. LASIK was a cakewalk tho. Good luck!
To the people that have had LASIK, do you.....take some time getting used to being able to see? If you put on a person's glasses that aren't your prescription, you get that weird everything is slightly off feeling. Is it the same when you are so used to seeing things in one way and then suddenly, without needing glasses, you see things another?
I still marvel at my vision. Especially at night. The detail is what kills me. I can see texture like I never did prior to surgery. When I saw the veiny patterns on my roses I literally sat down and wept. Friends got us a beer of the month subscription for Christmas. This has been my favorite gift almost ever. The UPS guy shows up and I have a free twelve pack.
To any of you that had LASIK, were you nearsighted or farsighted? I'm farsighted and I was under the impression that LASIK was a lot more likely to have long lasting success with nearsighted people.

Humira. 1) I just saw a commercial for this where they go on and on about how it treats rheumatoid arthritis. And, then, later, on a different channel, an ad for Humira, and how it treats psoriasis. And, then, a whole new commercial Humira for moderate to severe Chrohn's disease. Am I confused, or did I see that right? 2) Why does the voice over pronounce it hu-merha? Shouldn't it be hu-my-ra or hu-meera? Isn't that just a made up brand name? If they wanted to pronounce it that way, why didn't they just spell it with an "e?" Weird.
My doctor offered me Wellbutrin a couple weeks ago... for ADHD. Umm isn't that an antidepressant? (It is, and not much of one - I've taken it) And people have told me they were prescribed it to quit smoking. (I also smoked on it for years, so it doesn't work for that, either). I kindly refused to take it and she gave me something else. What I don't get is why people take some of these medicines with crazy side effects. It's like "We're sorry you have this condition but we'd love for you to take our medication and we have to disclose that it may kill you faster." What happened to the normal side effects?
I think those are all autoimmune disorders, so it makes sense if Humira is an immunosuppressant, but I imagine something that generalized probably has some nasty side effects. You know, like having no immune system.
That makes sense, I guess. I know nothing about marketing drugs, but it would seem that they would give it a different name in each commercial, since they're targeting different markets. The doctors already know what it does. Otherwise, it seems like it water down the brand - like that dad in My Big Fat Greek Wedding that used Windex for everything. "Arthritis? Humira." "Ulcer? Try Humira." "Itchy eyes? Ask, your doctor about Humira." If they wanted to keep the same name, they could've even had Humira - R, Humira - P and Humira - C or something like that.
