Test result, clear, with 97% sucess rate to achieve driving vision without glasses.
15Jan - Actual Lasik
Halfway through I recalled the procedure and realized they were cutting my conea flap open.
Watched the tip of the surgery tool being used to 'flip' open the cut flap, vision on first eye went blurry. And they moved on to the next eye.
Walked out of the surgery room, already able to see. Went home unaided after a 20mins rest.
Wore googles to shower, eye shield to bed.
Eyes were very dry and uncomfortable. Mostly slept. Apply eye drops every hour (steroids/antibiotics)

Test result: Eye is healthy, free of infections
Eye drops every two hours (steroids/antibiotics)

Definition of Justice
Justice = A blind woman swinging a big sword... '''
(7July 2009) I'd like to add some additional revelations:
This was not obvious at first. The weighing scale she holds measures who can pay more. This is a fair comparison since the weigh of gold does not lie. It ensures the sword does not slice randomly.
The blindfold is used so that judgment is not clouded by emotions. She does not care who is paying. But this is redundant since justice was already blind to begin with.

Eric Hoffer -The Passionate State Of Mind Part 4
Secretiveness is a source of pride. It is a paradox that secretiveness plays the same role as boasting - both are engaged in the creation of a disguise. Boasting tries to create an imaginary self, while secretiveness gives us the exhilarating feeling of being princes disguised in meekness. Of the two, secretiveness is the more difficult and effective. For the self-observant, boasting breeds self-contempt. Yet, it is as Spinoza said: "Men govern nothing with more difficult than their tongues, and they can moderate their desires more than their words." Humility, however, is not verbal renunciation of pride but the substitute of pride for self-awareness and objectivity. Forced humility is false pride.
