ok. I had the surgery. got it done 7 October 2009. That will be a day I remember, until I forget it. It started with Numbing drops, then 200 proof alcohol getting poured on my eye, the skin being removed, and then the smell of burning EyeBall, and hearing the laser zapping, and the Vacuum sucking the air away from my eye. then the horrible part. The two bottles of Saline Eye Wash. Ice Cold to keep down the infection. no, it wasn't cold on my eye. it ran into my ear, where the numbing drops would nver take effect from the start. the only time I jumped during the procedure.

Ok so onto the real news. I have an appoinment tomorrow, but my first check up I was sitting at -5.25 and -4.75. one doctor stated it was equal to 20/800 because I couldn't read the first line (which was a single E) unless i got up and walked half way across the room.

Thursday I went in for my first PORT PRK check-up... 20/40 and 20/30 without assistance. Pin holes were then given to me. 20/25 and 20/20. that was less than 24 hours later. I was ecstatic. What a great day right? I then later that day forgot the pain meds. my worst day of all and it literally felt like sand paper got into my eye. but I never forgot it again.
