A full week before the meeting with those eggheads. Mom thinks this is some kinda' scam, I can see where she's coming from. Gotta' be careful. Alex is already making plans, guess I can't talk him outta' bein' my lawyer for this whole thing.
Talked to Jane about it too, she said basically the same thing mom and dad said. That she'll love and support me regardless of my decision. Honestly, we've only been dating for a few weeks and she's already talking like that? Maybe that ribbing Nick gives Judy about bunnies being overly emotional has more truth to it than I realized.

Ok, I think it's alright to admit to myself that I'm nervous about this meeting. I think there's a part of me that is hoping this thing is real. That maybe I can get back some semblance of normalcy in my life. That against better judgement and common sense, maybe there's a chance I can see out my left side again. Pipe dream, I know, but those guys actually have me hoping…

Too busy to write yesterday… Safety inspector came to the park and Lord have mercy I thought my drill sergeant was ruthless… That guy can give him some lessons in being a mean son of a bitch… Dinner with my girl after work took the edge off… Nothing fancy, just a little sandwich shop outside the park.
Heh damn… Just noticed what I wrote earlier, "my girl" huh? In for a penny, in for a pound I guess… The feeling I get from Jane, I wonder if it's the same feeling Nick gets from Judy? Like all my troubles just melt away. I forget the stresses of my life, even for just a short while, when I'm with her. Before I know it, we're talking and laughing together. Clever rabbit, she knows just what makes me tick…

Talked to the Foxgloves and Gideon about this… Hell, even talked to Jane's parents about it… Stu and Bonnie know about as much about this stuff as I do… Maybe less, all things considered. Gideon just said that it's entirely my choice, he really doesn't have an opinion on this. As for the girls, Cherry didn't seem to be paying any attention… Daydreaming about Gid probably… Angel was busy so I don't think she was even paying attention, maybe she was, I dunno… Nilla said that she and Angel agreed that if I were to go through with it, to make sure I don't sign a health and safety waiver, just to be sure those guys don't try to squirm their way out of it if something goes wrong. Nilla also said that they'll try to make me but I need to be firm and let 'em know that they need me more than I need them. Makes sense…

Work has been tedious lately, been crashing almost as soon as I get back to the loft every night. That DVR dad gave me must be nearly full by now… Haven't had the time to watch my shows between work and sleep. Least with my thoughts on Jane, I don't have to worry about reliving the bullshit I went through in my dreams…
Tomorrow, I meet with those egghead guys about the eye thing… Alex called me and asked me if I was ready for tomorrow, I told him that I'm as ready as I'll ever be. Not gonna' be easy that's for damn sure… I'm thinkin' that if this doesn't turn out to be a scam, I'll go through with it.

The meeting went well, I think. Alex read through their documents and recorded the conversation. The four of us, me and him and the two guys from that company, had lunch at a fancy little restaurant while we talked about this. This time, they left me with their business card and the documents to look over and sign "when I'm ready". Alex told me that the whole thing is legit, they really are with MedTek. I'm still a bit concerned but maybe it's nothing. Nilla was right though, they tried to slip in that health and safety waiver to get me to sign without thinking. Pain in the ass though it is to read through all this garbage, Alex says it's necessary. Since he drove me to the meeting he drove me back and we reviewed the intel he got from the pages… Has Alex always been this thorough?

Finally finished reading through all that crap… My eye hurts… My head hurts… Hard to stay awake at this point… Don't write this down, prolly forget… Work in the morning… Then call assholes about new eye… Damnit…
Fuck it, DW

I went in for the freaky science project today. They put me under, saying that if I were awake for it I'd black out from the pain anyways and I'd struggle the entire time. It's weird, I can feel something in my left eye socket but the eggheads won't let me use it yet. Said that it needs time to "calibrate to my body" whatever the hell that means… Anyway, 48 hours… They said 48 hours… Apparently, they brought the whole damn family here to see me… Luke cried the whole time, well until he passed out… Was the little stinker actually worried about me? Nah, couldn't be. Nick and Judy were though. Have I-…? Have I changed? I actually caught myself thinking that it was nice to have everyone care about me…
Eggheads transferred me to Zootopia General to recover from the surgery and so that certified doctors not affiliated with the company can check me over for anything wrong. Must be one of the alterations Alex made to their contract. Hospital food sucks ass but it still tastes better than MRAs…
