The nurse told me that they'd velcro my arms down since I was sedated and they didn't want me to "help" the doctor. Between star bursts, watching light increase about 300%, and also watching the implant slide in and unfold, I was fascinated. It was amazing. If it weren't for the drugs, I could've driven home! From legally blind to 20/20 in 15 minutes (per eye).

Freakin' AWESOME!!!

BTW, I'm back riding my Honda. Wanna' race that Suzuki? After surgery of course.
