We made it to Sydney late last night in preparation for Nathan's Laser Eye Surgery today. The procedure appears to have gone smoothly and Nathan is as high as a kite on drugs, having taken a Zanax and 3 Valium before surgery, and another zZanax and another 3 Valium after the surgery, as well as some Digesic for any pain.
Ohmigod getting a taxi after the surgery was an awful, awful experience. We assumed we would need a car seat for Maddie and in all honesty would have preferred it, but after a two hour wait for a taxi that supposedly turned up and left again, we flagged down a normal taxi. We had the most awesome taxi driver after that, who started to make up for the the drama of waiting for hours. He told us a few things that we should do, and let us know that right near the hotel we are staying in there is a convience store and a whole heap of restaurants.
After getting Nathan settled Maddie and I went for a wander on the Harbour and grabbed a few groceries and the best tasting subway ever. We kept Nathan sedated all night so he missed a message late from the bank letting him know that the cards were trying to be used in an unusual way. It turns out, while shopping the next day that our cards were cancelled and a quick call to the bank told us someone tried to spend over $1000 at a Super IGA. Unbelievable!!!
Anyway, doesn't Nathan look pretty all kitted up for surgery, wearing his glasses for the last time.
