Whoa, I didn't know you live in Louisiana...I'm quite surprised by that. No wonder it took a while for you to get online. Anyway, my sentiments to those that have lost their lives from Gustav. Well, it's great that you managed to survive hell on Earth...though I have a feeling that 30 years from now (or maybe less), my area will be the next Katrina (though this time, it's a big earthquake). I reside near Oakland in California, and the last big earthquake to hit our area was the 6.9 Loma Prieta earthquake back in 1989, but siince I was 2 at that time, I can't really remember a single thing. Oh, and in case you're wondering what city I live, it's in Hayward (California, mind you).
So yeah, I know about the surgery. My right eye is still somewhat blurry...though the vision before the surgery was better. We'll hear from what my eye doctor has to say two days from now. Though I can keep the surgery thoughts aside, I have to deal with college classes (taking 5 classes ftl >_<). When that fall semester ends, my hour will finally approach...well, not just the surgery, but my birthday too, which is on the 20th of December.
Well, hope all goes well for you. We all have to endure until momentum shifts in our favor. Oh, and thanks. =)
