Tomorrow it will have been 4 weeks since my LASIK procedure. I still am not regretting it in the least. The only annoyance, which has been minor so far, is that I definitely notice a halo effect around bright lights in a dark setting. I can usually watch tv or a movie in a dark room without it being very bothersome, but it is quite prominent when driving at night. Headlights from oncoming cars and lights in traffic signals have a bit of a hazy blur around them. For some people, this condition is permanent, and for others, it eventually goes away over the course of weeks to several months. I could live with it as it is, but I hope it improves at least somewhat. Otherwise, I will finally have a weakness that my enemies could use to defeat me. The headline the next morning would read, "Super awesome dude dies trying to exit room full of cobras and flashing traffic signals."

I also still have bad vision days here and there. Or at least they'll start out that way. What I've found is that this seems to be linked directly to hydration. If I am somewhat dehydrated, this will sometimes result in blurry vision that no amount of drops or blinking can seem to take care of. However, if I drink a couple big glasses of water and maybe some juice, it clears right up. At work alone, I usually drink just shy of a gallon of water each day and consume little to no caffeine, so this hasn't been much of a problem so far. And yes, my large intake of fluids means I piss like a race horse several times a day, thank you very much.

Speaking of piss, I think as a supplement to "Start SEEING Motorcycles" bumper stickers, there should be "Start HITTING the Urinal" stickers and signs for men's restrooms. Anytime us men use a public restroom, we're guaranteed to be standing in an inch deep puddle of urine from several dozen other people. At the bar, I can totally see it. You've had a few shots, you're a little wobbly, and you veer off to the side a couple of times. Oops! You correct course and continue with your mission. But in an office building at 10 in the morning? Are you swinging it through your legs and trying to hit it while facing the opposite direction? Trying to bank it off the wall? What's going on?
