LASIK

Sorry I haven't updated over the last week. I have been super busy with school work, preparing for Halloween, and getting ready for my surgery.

Well, my surgery went great. I was able to see as soon as he was done. I did end up with a broken blood vessel when they were marking my astigmatism on my right eye. It was hurting quite a bit when my numbing medicine wore off. A few hours after surgery I went and saw my eye doctor here in town and he told me it would be fine and that it would go away. I find it such a great convenience to have my own eye doctor doing all of my post-op appointments so we don't have to drive almost an hour to Kennewick.

My eyes are sensitive to bright lights right now so I get to wear my sunglasses everywhere. My favorite was last night I went to WalMart and their lights are so bright I had to shop with sunglasses on at 8pm. I certainly got more than a few weird looks. When I got home Jeff asked me how my drive at night went, and I replied "I felt like I was doing something illegal."

I have to sleep with my sunglasses on at night in order to protect my eyes while sleeping, only for the first week. I also have to put drops in my eyes quite often but that certainly won't be forever. So far I am super happy with the results. In about a month I should be done with the drops, my eyes should be done adjusting, and my corneal flap should be plenty healed.

Oh, and Jeff got to watch the whole surgery. He was on the other side of a glass wall and had a large flat screen t.v. to see close up, what was happening. He also had an employee tell him step-by-step what they were doing. I'm kinda jealous. Hmmm.......I wonder if I can get a copy, O.k. not really. I can't believe I can see! It's amazing!
