I had 20/300 vision in both eyes with an astigmatism. I now have 20/15
20/15 vision and set to improve in sharpness and clarity over next 6 weeks.
$4100 poorer. At LASIK shop. Done in 30 minutes. See you tomorrow hopefully clearer.
24 Hours until i get lasik. Kind of getting nervous about tthe whole thing. For now, Just packing up for our first trip with the newborn for Thanksgiving.
I got that dang @touratechusa @tractiveusa shock out! This is my fifth time pulling an #R1200GSA shock. @beemershop
First night since the newborn arrived getting 8 hours of sleep. It was glorious.
I am pulling the rear shock because it is failed, and I am replacing my panniers. I may as well do an oil change while Iâm in there.
Great news, Withings.com is 10-30% off on everything I bought 3 weeks ago for Black Friday. Nice their chat support is offering partial refunds to reflect current pricing. Getting $100 back.
Rotator cuff physical therapy month seven. We’ve entered the dry needling and cupping era. But I’ve stalled at 90% flexibility.
Washed the truck, filled up with diesel, tried on $1200 sunglasses and thought deeply about these McLaren Tumi backpacks that I can’t afford.
You’re the man now, dog!
Wrote a few words about the Withings’ health ecosystem - https://adamchandler.me/blog/2023/11/15/withings-ecosystem-delivers-where-apple-hasnt-in-health/
...something I had also considered when finally deciding to get Lasik is Apple Vision Pro. My assumption is the Zeiss lenses will add $500-$1000 to the purchase price. My nearsightedness will cost me more if left unaddressed in our XR future. Lasik will save not only a few hundred a year in optics …
@harrymccracken sensationalist headlines are just expected these days. My favorite of the most famous ones was the Business Week cover with Kevin Rose that said “How this kid made millions in 18 months” and at the time, Rose was an adult and clearly NOT a kid but they put his hat on backwards and …
@sagolla I would expect nothing less. Wish I could be there for the 1st one. The 1st iPhone dev Camp was really magical and full of such amazing energy.
Stopped by work to see some co-workers. Nice to catch up.
Alright. Custom Wavefront LASIK scheduled for Tuesday. $4200 poorer but considering I need new glasses and sunglasses and contacts, that makes it hurt a lot less.
@jtylko aka the entire catalogue :P
@jtylko Body Scan Scale - $399 BPM Connect - $130 Sleep Mat - $130 (Replaces the Beddit mat that I was using, a company Apple acquired and abandoned) Thermo - $100 Of course using Apple Watch Ultra for all of the other tracking bits.
The Withings hardware wasn’t cheap. Over a grand all in but daily biometrics that compliment my Apple Watch Ultra data points has been awesome.
Also a Withings feature, this is pretty cool
I think I need to write a blog post about Withings now that I have their entire health ecosystem. Thoughts? I was holding out for more health accessories from Apple but that never came to fruition so I went all in on Withings.
In baby news, she's growing out and up. I go back to work in exactly 2 weeks so we're trying to get her on a schedule that works for us.
Invisalign came out last week. I've now scheduled Lasik for a few weeks from now. I looked through QuickBooks and I spend about $350 a year on eye-wear / contacts (prescription glasses / contacts / prescription sunglasses on a 3 year upgrade / purchase cycle) so the $4100 out of pocket is about …
