This morning brought the first bits of real discomfort I have experienced. I think I must've opened my eyes too quickly as my first waking moments were met with a on again off again pain that felt similar to when a bit of sawdust or some other small irritant gets into your eye. It may also have been that after a full night's sleep my Percoset had worn off.
After my morning drop regimen Kate drove me to the eye doctor to have my first post-op checkup. I'm already seeing 20/40 and I would describe my discomfort as mild so long as I keep a steady flow of Percosets coming. I'm told my vision will still fluctuate considerably as the healing process progresses, but since I was seeing something like 20/1500 before the surgery I'm quite pleased with 20/40 after less than 24 hours.
I managed to have a fairly normal day but by evening my eyes were starting to water quite a bit and the brightness of the TV while trying to watch a movie was enough to make me squint. Hopefully they'll feel a bit better in the morning as I'm hoping to start moving into my new townhouse tomorrow afternoon!
