Don, both my wife and I had the surgery done, it was a breeze – except for my worrying about it. The worst part for me was putting in the eye drops and my first shower. My wife talked with the surgeon throughout the procedure, but there’s nothing much that can stop from talking. (smile)

Let me put this in caps:
YOUR CONCERN SHOULD BE FOR THE 2 TO 3 WEEKS AFTER SURGERY, be careful, allow for the healing. You will find that it was all worth it --- when you see what you saw years ago. Bright and colorful.

$5,700 out-of-pocket sounds high, do you have insurance? Without the extra lenses my price was less than half of what you are paying. I do have insurance.

If you need a loan, I would ask Gary, he’s one great guy. Or possibly Donny. Forget Bernnie, he's a bit tight.
