Hi everyone! I just wanted to let you know that I'm going in for Lasik eye surgery this afternoon at 3p.m. mountain time. I will be unable to log on for a couple of days. Also I ask that you pray for a positive turn out. I'm excited yet very nervous. Smile

I'll be praying for you this afternoon for your surgery to go fine. Just trust in the Lord and He will be there with you to calm you and also to guide the surgeons hands. Let us know how it went. I have had glasses since 4th grade and thought I would like to have this done but the cost is beyond us.

Sorry, I'm new to this, but I tried to send you a picture but I must not be doing something right. Do you know how?

The info I gave above is just my opinion. Please go to a dr or professional for further advice. Remember we are all different. God bless you all.

Debbie, I couldn't afford to pay cash to get the surgery either. There is a company called Care Credit that loans money out for medical procedures. It is interest free if we pay it back in 18 months. So my payment is only $83 per month. My fiance is also going to help out with my payments so that will help as well. You should check out carecredit.com It shows which doctors participate. I think it would also be great if you had a child in need of braces.

Thanks to everyone for the prayers!
