    Good to hear.
    My dad had that done last year and had no problems. Just couldn't play golf for awhile. After a few weeks he was good to go.

    Steve you are scary!! I am sure glad to hear your first surgery has went to well and I am sure the next one will also. You need to get back out here and help us keep up with the freight so are not having to take care of your freight as well as ours!

    It's good to know that they didn't mess up your sense of humor, messing around so close to your brain....

    Re: eye surgery

    My farther in law had it done years ago in the dark ages. He had to lay still for a couple of days and had to wear coke bottle glasses the rest of his life. My wife had it done a couple of years ago. Like you said, no big deal. She was even able to ditch her glasses except for reading. My doctor says I am looking at it a few years down the road. Good luck on the other eye. Jerry Lee

    Congratulations on the success so far. You'll be looking at all the girls with a new perspective after that next one is done. Watch out though, you'll actually see what they look like.
