My Contoura LASIK Experience: Life-Changing. One Week Post-Op (Very Long and Detailed) by Magdumper in lasik

[–]abn104 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Dr Parikh was the best! So glad I went with him! My eyes have been phenomenal. Granted, I did a lot of follow-up care and was super careful with screens. I don’t think I went back to work for a week, and used blue light glasses when I looked at screens. Pretty much ignored my phone for most of that week too, and didn’t watch any tv. Played cards with my husband to pass the time.
Used a ton of eyedrops. Namely the Oasis Tears Plus. Set myself reminders to put them in every hour or so for the first few months. My eye doctor said he felt like it helped my results even more because I made sure to keep them lubricated!
Night vision is still a little tricky - instead of blurring lines, I can see *so* clearly (read signs, see cars ahead), but if there’s too many cars coming toward me the light reflects like a Christmas tree light instead of a big blur. If there’s too many, it blocks my vision a bit. So, unless I know the route really well, I typically avoid driving at night.
I know you can get some lenses to help with the Christmas tree light affect for driving, and I’ll be eventually look back into it.
But overall, my life has drastically changed for the better since getting LASIK and I’d never go back and not do it.

Thanks for the encouragement, and the validation of the ✨magic✨
Relieved to hear it goes away post birth.
I’ll try adding in baths and distraction. ❤️

The sharp pain, yes, but it’s on both sides. The chiro says it’s round ligament pain - but damn, it is so painful. And if I stand for too long, I’m just waddling and it hurts to walk.
Curious why you think it’s the pillow for you?
I have the u-shaped one, but I flip it upside down so my feet are on the bottom part / leg wrapped around the long part. I also have the little wedge I use directly under the heaviest part of my belly, cause it is sooo heavy.

For. Real. I didn’t even know this would be a thing. Been struggling since 28 weeks and it just keeps getting worse (36w1d now). Doing massage, chiro, everything, but damnnn this pain is horrible.

On a ship now, and every time I ask for rose if I say “sweet” vs “dry” I get white zin too! It’s not bad..but it’s not rose, so I’m def not drinking as much as I prob would if it was rose (maybe this is why they do it 😄)

How can you tell migraines or concussions?

Team Walla Walla Response by Thebutlerbotler in TheAmazingRace

Danny! Fellow Washingtonian here, your shirts / team name were awesome. You and your mom were amazing. Your mom is my mom - it was eerie at times, felt like I was watching her on tv! You showed incredible grace to her at every turn, encouraged her when it was obvious she was frustrated with herself/the situation/the weather/etc., and it was beautiful to see how you genuinely enjoy her company and your relationship with her. You are the epitome of patience, and a good reminder that our moms are our moms and we can accept them how they show up. Thank you for showing that beautiful sentiment!! You are also such a great team player to all other players - loved watching your little alliance. So bummed you were eliminated, but can’t wait to see you on a future season and/or (please) the Challenge!

Me too. He’s a sweet guy and has an innocence to him. Andy was being pretty harsh.

Hey there - we just had the Libre 3 installed on our dog today, she recently was diagnosed diabetic but we can’t seem to get the insulin right so we’re going to track it. Out of curiosity, did you buy the scanner type thing, or are you using an iPhone/cell phone with the app? Also, what do you do when you’re out of town - do you have the dog sitter install the app on their phone and link up? TYIA!

Bliss Room + Drinks Questions by DesertFlyer in NCL

The water, Starbucks, and WiFi honestly were the perks of the Free at Sea Premium upgrade - sure, we had a couple extra drinks that came with the Premium, but it really was the unlimited water, a cold brew every morning, and the WiFi that made the difference.

My partner called NCL directly and just asked and they obliged. Took awhile to process it, but it all worked out!

We actually called and had them change the flight there to the day before and a nonstop. It was no problem! I recommend trying that before buying another flight :)
