LASIK + New Roommie Search [Return to the Blog]
I had my first consulation with Dr. David Wallace at LA Sight. I was very nervous! Even though he comes highly recommended from my roommate, waiting for the initial consulation was crazy nerve-racking. I've been wanting to get LASIK for a while now. I was worried because your cornea has to have a certain thickness in order to qualify for the procedure.
I did the initial eye test and it looks like I qualify. The only thing that worried me was that the doctor said that my prescription wasn't that severe. He was almost hinting at the fact that I shouldn't have the operation. The thing with me is that my vision isn't too bad, I'm just one point away from 20/20. My problem is that I have an astigmatism. If I don't have my glasses on, I get the worst migraines ever. He said that if the glasses relieve the headache situation, the operation will do the same thing!
Once I heard that I was in! I couldn't think of a better way to spend my tax return. And I'm using my Citibank credit card, the one with miles on it, so I'll have a free flight to Miami for Christmas! It all works out! Of course I'm going to be shitting bricks the day of the operation which is April 24th. Wish me luck!
Anthony also let me know before I went to Vegas that he will be moving out in May. He gave me more than 30 days notice and it was all I could ask for. I realize the apartment is expensive and he's always in the valley. His work and after-work activies and fun is all in the valley. We had a good run while being roommates but I think this will be for the best. It's funny how life works, now that we won't be roommates anymore, we'll probably hang out more!
Unlike last time, where I was freaking out because I didn't want to live with a complete stranger, I was more calm about the process this time around. Interestingly enough Jack's friend, Rex Kelly, had told me he was interested in living in my place if a room ever opened up! It did! He came by to check out the place and loved it. I think it's going to be great. Even though we hung out for a little bit at my place I felt totally at ease with him and think we have similar personalities. I missed having a gay roommie! And he works in the porn industry too so we'll have lots in common!
All this is happening May 1st. So we'll see how it goes!
