Epi-Lasik Day 2

SATURDAY

Well, this morning was tough. I ended up going out with my fiancee last night for a couple hour because I felt so good. But this morning was a different story. My follow up appointment was at 8:30 am. I had taken a pain killer at about 10:30 then gone to bed. I woke up at about 7:00 and had the hardest time keeping my eyes open. It felt like I had put my contacts in with cleaner solution still on them. Really bad. I think it's partly because the pain killer had worn off, but man it sucked.

I took another pill, put in my drops, and got Erik up to drive me to the appointment. The doctor said everything was looking good even though I felt so bad. He said it's normal. He also said he's actually worried that I can see too good the day after surgery, because it'll likely worsen a little before it settles in for good. Not a bad thing to be told, I think,I see too good?

Anyway, today my pain has fluctuated. I guess I kind of prejudged the use of those pain killers. For now, it's every 4 hours for me. My vision has been pretty stable, but the pain comes and goes as my pain killers kick in. It's really frustrating. So basically I've been in bed all day. I have been able to watch a little TV, and movies, but have also napped a lot. The contacts are irritating. That's probably the worst part.

So, I'm hoping that tomorrow will be better. No going out tonight. Erik's picking up chinese, so it'll probably be an early night.
