I can see, I can see!

I actually pre-posted today, so thanks for thinking of me and telling me to REST gosh darn it!  I did. 🙂  Thanks for all the well wishes yesterday, too…the procedure went well.  It was quick, that is for sure.  It took about a minute per eye, and when the laser was burning my cornea it smelled exactly the same as when the dentist is drilling a tooth.  Was that too much info?

I took the Valium, but apparently that drug doesn’t work very well on me, since I was looking forward to passing out afterwards and that didn’t happen.  I just tried to lay in bed and not open my eyes…and ignore that burning sensation.  I was VERY sensitive to light yesterday and had a hard time opening my eyes.  I’m sure my kids thought I was way cool, since I was wearing my shades in the house.  My vision was still blurry last night, but after a restless nights sleep I woke up able to see.  Hallelujah!

At my exam this morning I had 20/20 vision, but they said to expect spotty blurriness for about a month afterwards.  All in all it was great.  I think the anticipation was the worst part of the whole thing.  I would definitely recommend it to anyone thinking of getting this done.
