One-Eyed Justin

On Wednesday Justin had a permanent contact lens inserted into his left eye. Deb thank you so much for taking Justin to and from surgery! We both very much appreciate it! Justin's surgery went very well. The only weird thing is that there is a bubble in his eye. When he is laying on his back it is right in his field of vision. It has decreased in size since yesterday and should be gone in a few days.

Justin has wanted his eyes fixed since I meet him over 13 years ago. He never could get Lasik so this is the next best thing. Its a much more involved surgery and way more expensive but it has the result he was looking for. Justin can not see much without his contacts in. today he woke up and opened one eye and low and behold 20/15 vision. Yippee.

Justin goes back in next week for his right eye.



Deb was so wonderful to come and take Justin to the appointment. We have been on so many fun vacations this year I am sort of out of time off. We were planning to go to fish lake to the cabin but Justin didnt want to venture that far from home while he just had surgery. They want the contact to settle before any major activities. I am just plain old tired so we decided to stay home. Brett however wanted to go. He is spending a fun filled weekend with his Nana and grandpa. He has already been 4 wheeling. we will see him again on Tuesday or Wednesday. I miss him already.

That's pretty crazy. But it sounds like it's worth it to Justin.
