I Think I am Closer to My Answer

So I came up with a great plan. How about I take a camera and shoot the eye procedure and do a segment for "The Lab with Leo Laporte"? We can take a close look at the tech behind laser eye surgery and that way, we get some content for the show! So I pitched the idea to Kate's eye surgeon and they said "yes" so now all I have to do is get a camera (easy), bring myself to the clinic (easy) and get the balls to go through with it (hmmm not so easy). Anyway, I am going with Kate to her next appointment, go over the logistics of shooting my consultation and procedure then set a date for my consultation. This is not to say I am going to go through with it...it just means I am one step closer.
Last week we shot episodes 31-45 and they were the best we have done to date. Now it is time to focus on episodes 46-60 which will be shot June 12th-15th. Never a dull moment in The Lab.

To Laser or Not to Laser

So, I have been giving this laser eye surgery some thought...and what conclusions have I come to? Well, the jury is still out on that one. Kate recently went under the red laser and had PRK corrective eye surgery. Let me tell you, there is nothing more frustrating than watching someone you love in pain...especially if it is something they volunteered to do...what am I a gonna do, go pick a fight with a laser? Let me tell you something...despite the Wii boxing reputation that precedes me, I could kick that freaking laser's ass. But seriously, so far the results of Kate's "procedure" (they don't like it when I call it an operation) have been good. Sure there have been some moments of itchiness, pain, discomfort but that is what meds are for. Side bar: if you ever hang out with Kate and asks you for some Ativan do us both a favour and do not give her any...looooopy. She has been a tough cookie and I think she will see (pun intended) the fruits of her patience in the next few days. As for me? Well I think I am still a bit of a wuss because I am not 100% sold on having my eyes "fixed". Perhaps my good friend Greg can re-convince me LASEK is a good idea.
