My friend Sonia went in for LASIK eye surgery on 20 Feb 2002.
The surgery was performed at
Teplick Laser Surgery Center.
See my surgery pictures as well.
The annotations here are written by Sonia, with her first-person
perspective. As this is not normally the case for the pictures
in this archive, I've added this annoying additional note.

The doc leaves, and someone comes back with -- VALUIUM! Here I am,
swallowing donw the little blue pill. Notice I've reversed the name
tag, anticipating surgery, for the convenience of the doctor. |

For those of you in our audience who saw Randal's photos, this is the
VERY SAME THERESA who he got photos of before his operation. Here I
am, the valium clearning taking affect, directing you to look at her. |

Here she is again. She's just found out that she's famous on Randal's
web site, and that she's going to be on mine as well. Doesn't she look
happy? |

This is -- I don't know who. She's just there all the time. But check
out the pens! These pens are fantastic! Practically worth the price
of the surgery all by themselves! |

The valium doesn't affect me at all. |

This is the quiet room that they put me in before surgery. I don't
know why.
Randal talks a lot. I don't mind. The Valium helps.
Comfortable couch. Mmmm. |

Randal finally leaves me to the operating room and comes here, into the
observation room. Now he has to figure out where to sit. |

They're setting up in the operation room. That green thing in my hands
is my seeing eye frog. They want you to hold something during the
operation, a towel or a stuffed animal. I bring my own frog. |
