Thanks Mike

A few months ago I decided to pursue the idea of having LASEK before I got married and became "poor". I had the consultation and it was determined if I wanted a procedure to have my vision corrected, I was going to have to have PRK which is a more evasive surgery that requires more recovery time. I decided to go ahead with the surgery and asked Mike to get the day off to escort me there and home. Mike gladly accepted and picked me up at 1:15 sharp on Thursday. While at the doctor's office Mike was very attentive and curious, he helped me with everything, took pictures, comforted me when I needed it and made me laugh to keep my mind off the inevitable.

While in surgery Dr. Hoopes asked me who the guy was with me and I told him it was my fiance. He laughed and said "I thought he was a reporter with all the pictures he was taking. He is acting like this is the first PRK ever done in Utah" We laughed and went on with the surgery. As we finished, Dr. Hoopes told me "You are lucky he is still only a fiance, all the "husbands" head down to the bowling alley and come back when the surgery is over" I guess I am glad we haven't had the wedding yet or I would have been on my own!

We left the doctor's office with many instructions and items to buy to help me recover. Mike has been a great nurse. He has picked up my prescriptions, bought me cold packs for my eyes and kept me on schedule with all my drops. I just want to thank him for all his support and love throughout this recovery. It has not been easy and I have not been pleasant! I love you very much!

PS. I wrote this post blind, so if there are mistakes I will correct at a later date when I can see!
