Back in May of 2003, I underwent Lasik Eye Surgery. Now, I was very well aware of all the potential risks, but I still thought it was incredibly worthwhile considering the enormous changes it would bring in my quality of life. Now, almost a year and a half later, I'm still incredibly thrilled with the surgery and incredibly happy that I went through with it. I ended up having the surgery performed by my long-time eye doc, Dr. Mirsky, and while it might have cost a bit more than had I gone to Canada or some in-and-out place in NYC, I'm much happier that I had it done by my regular eye doc, since I felt a lot more confident and secure in his abilities and in placing my eyesight literally in his hands. Obviously, he did a great job! My vision is somewhere around 20/20 without glasses right now, and its absolutely incredible. To go from having to wear glasses to see just about anything for most of my life (certainly all of my adult life prior to the surgery) to being able to see completely clearly without glasses is an incredible change, and one that I have no regrets about whatsoever. While I understand that lasik eye surgery is still risky, and not everyone experiences these results, I would still recommend it to most people simply because I feel that the potential benefits far outweigh the possible, but unlikely risks.
Hey all...for those of you that aren't familiar with it, Gmail is Google's new free email service (similar to Yahoo! Mail and MSN Hotmail). However, because its still in "beta" testing, you can't just sign up for a free account, but have to be invited by someone who already has one. I happen to have received one a while ago, and I now have 7 invites available to those who also want one...so I figured I'd start by offering them on my own blog, since its mostly my friends that check this out and I wanted to see if any of them (or anyone else who reads my blog) wants one. See...there are prizes for actually being a faithful reader of my boring life ;)
Anyone, email me or IM me and let me know if you're interested in one of these Gmail invites!
Well, I'm back from my incredible vacation down in the Caribbean!! We got really lucky and didn't have any bad weather at all (as opposed to how it is down there right now...with hurricanes and all)...and the vacation was incredible. I promise to write some more about it soon, as well as post pictures. However, I just wanted to put an update on here about some contact changes. I'm changing email addresses, so you can contact me by using the email address listed to the left (which is just an email forwarder...don't worry, emails sent to it still get to me, but don't list it it any address books because if i start getting too much spam from it I can just delete it, in which case you won't be able to contact me anymore using it), or if you want my REAL email address, just let me know and I can give it to you. Also, if you bookmark this site, make sure your bookmarks are set to http://mbressman.dnsalias.net, as any other link to this site might not be active for that much longer.
Ok...back to the daily grind, but I promise I'll post pictures and some more info about my Caribbean cruise and Puerto Rico vacation soon!
