How many fingers am I holding up?
With my right eye it's pretty clear, however many you want. With the left eye, it appears as a blurry series of sticks because my astigmatism has returned. I started noticing the fact that my left eye was blurrier than my right about 5 or 6 months ago but didn't pay any attention to it. Recently I've been concentrating on the fact that it exists and have tried different things to try to help the situation (wearing sunglasses a lot, keeping my eye wet or watered, checking the blurriness at different times of the day, etc). Today, I went with Andrea to a local outlet mall to find a hat for my trip tomorrow and stumbled into an optics store that sells sunglasses. Andrea bought a pair half price. After the sale completed I asked the lady a question about my surgery 4.5 years ago an what I was seeing. She took me back to the consultation room and gave me a quick eye exam. She told me that the astigmatism I have had my whole life has most likely returned in my left eye and gave me the name of a specialist to go and see.
I sure wish I knew the name of the surgeon why operated on my eyes way back when but I can only recall that it was in Concord, CA in the East Bay, and that he was reputable with over 10,000 Lasiks done in his career at that time. Nate was with me when I had the surgery done and maybe he recalls but I doubt it. I'm pretty sure whatever guarantee that existed with the surgery has long since expired. They do Lasik surgeries down here too, at a fraction of the price but I'm a bit hesitant at this moment. So I guess the answer to my original question at the top is one finger, the middle one.

I'm afraid I don't remember. I might be able to circle around and recognized the building but I doubt it. And I wouldn't be so hesitant about the surgery in Bogotá. I've heard of a number of people that specifically go to Colombia for medical stuff because it is good and inexpensive.
