Well, last week the doctor told me to give it two more weeks. At the time, that seemed like an eternity, but only seven days later I’m already seeing a major difference. In fact, last Wednesday (which was two weeks post-op), I noticed I kept my good morning vision until lunch time. Then, on Thursday I kept it until around 3pm. Since then, I’ve had mostly good vision (20/40 or so) with some occasional down time. I hesitated to blog about this sooner, because I was afraid it wouldn’t last… but it has!
So I go back to the eye doctor one week from today. At that point, I will be on week four. Back before I had my vision corrected, a 4-6 week recovery time sounded long, but totally doable. In hindsight, I had no idea what it’d be like living with less-than-perfect vision (and no way to correct it) for 4-6 weeks.
Now that I am *over the hump*, I can finally sit back and relish my new eyes. Almost three weeks without contacts or glasses is still not enough to stop me from thinking I have to take out my contacts at night. I still marvel at waking up and seeing the clock. For someone who was 20/200 for the past 30+ years, even seeing at 20/40 or 20/50 without glasses or contacts is a miracle. What more can I say – it’s absolutely amazing!
