PRK post Day 3 recovery

Originally posted on Facebook, May 27, 2012

So, Day 3 post PRK laser vision correction.

I don't need to jack the font size up to read text clearly on my monitor. Normal size is fine. My vision accuracy is a lot better today than yesterday. No longer, fuzzy, but sill a bit blurry for distance, but I'm pretty sure this will improve.

Eyes feel a bit hot, and dry...feels like I've had contact lenses in my eyes for 3 days and three nights (which I have). I'm looking forward to getting these protective lenses out on Tuesday.

I stopped taking Vicodin, with the last dose being last night at 8 :30 PM. AND that is my major complaint today. No pain,however, I think I'm going through Vicodin withdrawal. I've kinda got the blahs. Yesterday I felt high as a kite, and for a reason. Drugs will do that. At least I don't need it now, pain wise... so that's great.

In all, amazed at how well I can see and feel (despite the terrible pain a couple days ago). Tomorrow (Monday) I should be allowed to resume drinking alcohol if I want. Didn't/haven't really missed it -- especially with Vicodin. And we had a fun time with friends over last night for a movie night. I didn't watch the movie (couldn't really), but I may have stretched it a bit during the day, getting things ready, etc. So taking it very easy today. Glad tomorrow is a holiday.
