Lasik update

I didn't post anything last night because when I got home (around 7:30 or so), my eyes were burning rather fiercely.

The rubber suction ring that is used to hold the eye in place while the flap is being cut, scratched my left eye, so I was given a prescription of pain medication. They also gave me a small prescription for sleeping meds if I felt I needed them. So when we got home, I ate enough to put something in my stomach since the pain meds can't be taken on an empty stomach, and then I went to bed.

Josh woke me up at 10pm so I could take my next set of eye drops (the first ones were given to me at the eye center before I left), and then I went back to sleep.

I had to be up early this morning for my post-op appointment at 7:35a. Even though I had plenty of sleep, my eyes, while no longer burning, still wanted to sleep. I snoozed on the way to and from the dr's office.

This morning my vision was 20/40, which is tons better than it used to be. I think it was probably at 20/600 before.

My eyes are dry and my vision fluctuates, which they said is normal. I hope it clears up well enough so that when I go in for another follow up appointment next Friday, my vision will be better than 20/40. I would hate to have to wear glasses after all that work, even weak ones, but all of their documentation did warn that that may be a possibility.

I am hoping that won't be the case.

Well, I've got a timer going to tell me when to put in my next set of drops and that will be in about 10 more minutes.. After that I am going to go take a nap to see if that helps some more.
