I woke up in the morning and could see relatively well, although my vision was still a little blurry. I was still pretty impressed. I had a followup appointment with Dr. Lomas at 7:30 so I had to get ready. I was told that I could not take a shower for 24 hours after the surgery (I'm not 100% sure why) so I put some clothes on and went to have breakfast.

I drove myself to the appointment and didn't really have any problems. While I was driving there I noticed that I was seeing double by looking at the traffic lights. I originally thought it was due to both eyes but when I closed one eye, the double vision was still there (in both eyes). I made it to the Dr's office in pretty good time.

My exam was with Dr. Ghelt, a young lady. She did most of these follups and basically looked at my eyes (they were doing good) and evaluated my vision. My left eye was at 20/20 and my right was 20/40 (good enough to pass a driver's license test.) I was pretty happy going home.

After we got home, I got some calls from work and helped for about a half hour. I couldn't see the small fonts on the computer so when I was talking to people at work through Yahoo Instant Messanger (YIM), I asked them to increase their font sizes. It worked pretty well. I was able to keep up with what they were talking about and actually do some work without stressing my eyes too much.

We were going to go do a little letterboxing since I couldn't read, watch TV or do anything on the computer, but just before we left, Ilea threwup so we just did some short errands and came back home. It was a pretty boring day. We watched a little TV that night (I tried to blink frequently and used lots of eye drops.) When I went to bed, I put my ski mask on went to sleep thinking everything was going welll...
