DAY 6- Yeah, I skipped a few days

I have been so grumpy. My husband has been Amazing! He brings me drinks, cooks cleans and watches Cayden. Today he left me home for the first day with Cayden. We need new truck tires so I sent him on that errand. I just put on Toy Story 3 and little man is a happy boy. That and pancakes of course.
I am sitting here with all the blinds shut and sheets over them. Just that little bit of light coming through hurts. I don't want to have to wear my sunglasses around the house. I also had to dim the screen on my computer. But overall, today has been the best day for vision. I can read things way better and not have to squint.
So remember how I said they put lenses on my eyes for a few days while the cells re heal on the surface? Well, Dr. Reed removed them two days ago. The left eye wasn't completely ready, but he took it off anyway. It hurt! I felt like a had 20 eyelashes in my eye. The right eye felt really good! I could see better without that mucked up lens in my eye. I still use two of my drops four times a day, Doctors orders.
I haven't been on here in days because of the blur. It was bad. Plus just reading gave me a terrible headache because my eyes were so tired. So I figured just rest. It has been so boring! I must say reading and watching movies are totally different. I read some stuff online last night for lie 20 minutes and I felt like I was gonna puke. But watching movies on my laptop for hours didn't hurt at all. I think it is because of concentrating and squinting to read the words hurts.
So I have to admit I have watched the 3rd season of One Tree Hill this week. It is so addicting. I only saw like maybe four episodes back in my senior year of high school. I was always to busy to watch it. So it is on Instant Netflix and I love it! Of course it is so unrealistic. My husband describes it as everything you can imagine happening to you in high school actually happens to them and then some!
So I was supposed to be at work the past two days and haven't been. Dr. Reed gave me a note for work to not go. Of course because of HIPPA, I think that's what its called, they wouldn't even read my note at work. But I was just like, Ill be there Tuesday. So tomorrow I go back. But because I happen to choose my PTO for this month. I have only tomorrow and then I don't go back till March 4Th! So weird how it worked out. But it will give my eyes plenty of time to heal! Woo Hoo!
So I think I have been healing long enough to decide to recommend PRK. Now remember I had
-11.25 prescription. It was terrible. I have cried a lot and been very depressed all week. But after waking up today and seeing as good as I do, I would highly recommend it! I was told by Dr. Reed before surgery that because it is so strong I might need glasses, they would be super thin though. I can say good-bye to bottle caps! I can live with that! My eyes will fluctuate in the next couple weeks. Like right now after typing so long they are getting sore. But it will all be worth it. I read other blogs about PRK before I actually did it, some people seemed to be in a lot of pain. Every one I think deals with it differently. I hate to say it, but most pf the people seemed to be men. My husband agreed that men deal with that kind of pain worse. I just kept comparing it to my cut from child labor that went to my A-hole and this was nothing compared to that! ;)

DAY 2- Blurry

Last night I slept from 930pm-430am. I woke up and took my safety goggles off. My eyes were so dry and burning. It was time for another round of drops (3 different kinds) and my lovely pain killer Vicodin. I was up for about 20 minutes with all that and then zonked out again till 7:45am. I got all dressed up, meaning my yoga pants and a sweatshirt, for my morning check-up at the Dr. office. The sun seemed unusually bright so I had my stunna shades on provided by the laser center. My husband actually likes them a lot and wants them when I'm done with them! I personally can't wait to hand them over to him. But they do work better than my Juicy pair. Which does just about nothing for my sensitive eyes.

The Doctor said everything looks perfect today! They were actually surprised at how great I could see. My vision does go in and out though. That is usual with this type of surgery. Lasik makes you see right away. You also would continue to be that way. PRK is a much longer healing process. But is suited me and my eyes to choose it.

When I woke up from my 3 1/2 hr. nap today I opened my eyes slowly and could see perect! It was amazing. It just blows my mind! Of course after my eyes were tired again, like right now, everything gets pretty blurry again. So I'm making sure I am getting sleep and lots of it. My husband has the week off work and has been very good about keeping our 3yr. old busy. My mother-in-law even came to make us meals or the next couple of days. So we are all set!

I am almost out of pain meds so we will see how that goes. I'm gonna call my Dr. tomorrow because I didnt even notice how little I was given. So I am hoping a miracle happens tomorrow and I just wont need them anymore. I do not wanna pay 200 more dollars to get more. But boy oh boy I do love those drops. I get so excited when the hours pass and it is time to take more!
