made it through

saffronhareMade it through my LASIK just fine this morning, with many thanks to the excellent folks at Durrie who know what they're doing likewhoa. And not just in technical terms; they really had those comforting/guiding nonverbal touchpoints DOWN.
So I'm taking it easy now, with all the curtains closed and some quiet while the menfolk are off helping a fellow Scout with his Eagle project. Rewetting drops every 15-30 minutes and an aggressive schedule of other medicated eyedrops for the next several days. Discomfort is very mild so far, though I reported a definite difference in my right and left eye for the clinical trial I'm participating in. (No way could I have afforded the surgery myself!)
My 24-hour visit is tomorrow morning, and my vision has already improved to the point where it seems just a bit hazy...sort of like I'm wearing an older prescription or have smudges on my glasses. Here I am, watching television from the couch with my naked eyes. JUMP. BACK.
ETA: About ten hours later, and my vision is very much as if I were wearing my contact lenses on a high-allergy day -- mostly clear but with a bit of goopiness -- if that makes any sense. And that's pretty much how it feels. Not a lot of irritation anymore, though there's still relief when I use the chilled eyedrops. Kind of hating the medicated eyedrops (both the antibiotic and anti-inflammatory ones), because they sting and leave a weird taste at the back of my throat. Very much looking forward to sleep tonight.
