23. New eyes

So...for those of you that dont' know about my latest news let me tell you...
I have magical new eyes...also known as Lasik Eyes..
I can give you an updated idea of how it went later (because it's too much to write) I'd rather tell you about a story about one other person in the office with me.
------------
So I go into the office and wait in line to get my eyes done...there was one guy that I struck up a conversation with who told me about his eye sight. Ends up being that his eye sight was 20/1900...this basically means that he has to be 1900 times closer to the object to see it clearly...basically he was blind- blind as a freakin bat!! So he walks into surgery right before me and I follow him....
After my surgery I am sitting in the recovery room with my eyes patched up with little holes to see through when suddenly the guy with the bad eyesight gets up and starts proclaiming, "LASIK IS AMAZING..IT'S MIRACULOUS, ITS A MIRACLE...I CAN SEE!!!!" I'd imagine so...I mean he was technically blind..so any improvement i'm sure would be a miracle in itself..So as he's screaming this..i'm sitting there scratching my head thinking...
"damn, i think they messed up my eyes since i can't see crap...everything is blurry and my eyes can barely open up....how the hell can he see the difference"
...as I hear this guy proclaming loudly how he can see, his ride shows up (since we are not allowed to drive ourselves) to guide him to the car. As he's walking away, again, still screaming the miracle that he can now see, he pulls his arm away from his guide and says, "i don't need your help to guide me because i can see..." He pulls away from the guide and as soon as he pulls away, *BAM!!!* he walks straight into a door frame and falls on his butt..
let me tell you about confidence...
I was once told that you can determine how confident people are by listening to what they don't say about themselves and instead watching them take all things into consideration...
and as einstein once said....
Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and i'm not too sure about the universe. (-einstein)
You know...if someone is offering you a hand..guiding you and helping you along your path...take it..because most of the time if you don't...you'll end up landing on your ass
