LASIK

I got Lasik done last saturday.
It was incredibly quick procedure.
Laid down and after a few brief minutes probably like 5 or 6 I was done.

Since then the healing process has been hit or miss.
At work I have to work at a computer and do most of my work when
not with families at my desk and thus
my eyes have been hurting and burning.

I had monday off, took wednesday off cause my eyes were killing
and yesterday ended up having to take the afternoon off because
I was in so much pain.

So I went back to the doctor just to see if I was being a big baby
or there was really something wrong.
As soon as I walked in the doors
they looked at me and said wow your eyes are really red.
In my head I am thinking, "gee you think I don't know that, now fix it."

So they told me it was extreme dryness, they took pictures of my eyes
and I started crying while I was seeing the doctor because my eyes just burned
so bad!!

I wanted the numbing drops to put in my eyes just so I could work
and to get through the healing process. Unfortunately the drops apparently
make my cornea too soft. Honestly I did not care and just wanted
the pain to go away.

So it turns out I was not being a big baby and the pain was real.
The lady told me I was definitely having an adverse reaction and this
was not the norm for most patients. oh yipee, guess I get to be in the painful,
very painful minority :(

So they gave me a coupon for these special eye drops and basically vaseline for
my eyes. I can say that I have never thought that putting vaseline in my eyes
would be a fun thing to do, however it FINALLY brought relief to my
very red/sore eyes.

I got to a point last night after putting frozen vegetables on my eyes that I need to start
praying about this and letting it go. It hit me like a ton of bricks why had I not
been praying about this, so I started praying about it.

So today I awoke and my eyes were feeling sooo much better. I feel as though they

are finally starting to heal. Praise the Lord! Thank the Lord!!!

The crazy part in all of this is that I can see! I can see when I wake up in the middle of the night and look at the alarm clock. I can see details I have never been able to see before.
I can see fine print on stuff far away. I can appreciate all the small details
that I never have been able to before.
My vision is 20/15 and that is amazing. All in all I will say that this process
even though painful will definitely be worth it in the long run. I just
can't wait to get to the other side of the healing process.

Yeah for seeing!
