This update is all about our friends at Griffin & Reed Eye Care, where I had my lasik surgery 17 years ago, Amanda had hers last year and now, this week, my fiancé Christina had hers!
In the end, the amazing Dr Reed (the meat in our love sandwich here) did his usual amazing job
First things first…we, of course, video taped the entire process
The day before the procedure, Producer Nick held a meeting to prep us for the taping and brought this lovely piece of artwork to display how things would go
This is my favorite part of Nick’s drawing…Christina, drawn to scale, uttering her favorite expression
Showtime…Christina is in the surgery room along with Nick and Producer Kristen manning the cameras while we watch from outside
Damn paparazzi…here is Griffin and Reed’s Brad taking a picture of me taking a picture of him taking a picture of me taking a picture of him
Back to the surgery…there’s Christina’s eyeball being worked on
Less than 20 minutes later, Christina’s out of surgery and you can see the relief
And now her attitude is kicking back in…
Brandon, meanwhile, is completely bored by this entire process
About 30 minutes after the procedure, clearly the drugs are kicking in…
We got home and the first thing Christina did was lay down on the sofa and seemingly pass out
While Christina was resting, I found that flowers had been delivered for her while we were gone.
Apparently my mom had come by and dropped them off courtesy of our dogs, according to the note
Hey! Look who’s awake all of a sudden (10 minutes later)
Everyone craves comfort food in times like these, and Christina’s is grilled cheese
Seeing that she was fading fast, we set her up in bed for her snack
She promptly dove right in….
…And less than 5 minutes later was passed out for 2 hours
But, less than 4 hours after the surgery, she was up and at ‘em playing pool
The next day, we were at Griffin & Reed’s Roseville location for her follow up
After chatting with Dr. Reed and being examined, we determined Christina had gone from 20/1100 vision to 20/18 overnight, and that will only improve over the next week. Another Griffin and Reed success!
