Odd watch, new eyes?
Yesterday, while waiting for Julianna to get prepped for Lasik, I noticed that my watch was acting very odd…
I attempted to record some video (below) on my N800 with the “unofficial” Camera video app available at the Maemo Garage. Annoying thing, though… While the video looks great on my N800, it looks horrible on my Mac. So, you get the horrible version (MP4, 748k). Sorry.
If you can’t tell, the second hand is pausing for anywhere from three to five seconds and then speeding up to catch up to the correct time. Is this what happens when Swiss Army watch batteries give out? I mean, the second hand thing is weird, but my watch hasn’t actually lost a second of time. Crazy!
Yeah, so, Julianna got Lasik yesterday! I wish I could have taken pictures of the procedure, but they wouldn’t let me. I did get to watch the surgery, though, which was pretty spectacular. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen anything like when the doctor removed the lenses from Julianna’s eyes. Wow.
I’ll leave you with the “before and after” pictures of Julianna’s day.
The Lasik procedure was a success, by the way, and we had a very positive follow-up appointment this morning. It’s so weird that someone can be nearly blind all of their life and then after twenty minutes or so, see perfectly.

awesome! ps – sounds like your battery is out…
As for my battery… Ugh.
Yes, I remember when you got Lasik. I’m glad everything is still ok!
They probably didn’t offer it back then, but Julianna’s contract will refresh her Lasik for $500 per eye for the next 15 years (it’s free for the first year). Cool, eh?
What I liked the most was that my profile remained anynomyous until I was ready to decide what to do. I received replies from four surgeons that met all the things I was looking for. I liked having that complete control without the sales pressure that some of these places can be known for.
If you are going to go down the cosmetic surgery road…better to be safe than sorry. Check them out.
