Cathie had been looking forward to getting her Lasik procedure for a long time and today was supposed to be the day. She went in this morning at 8am for the procedure and after more detailed work, they determined that her corneas are too thin for the procedure. Needless to say, she was bummed.
Besides the bad news about the eyes, we now have $3,500 set aside in our healthcare spending account that we had allocated for the Lasik surgery. The great news about these accounts is that they give you tax free dollars to spend on medical expenses. The bad news is that you have to spend it all in this year or lose it. A friend at work had a similar situation occur when his son decided not to get braces. He tried to convince his wife that she should get a boob job or liposuction.
If you see Cathie looking a little chestier than usual, you'll know what she chose. Maybe I can use the money to have my ear hair permanently removed.
