I had no problem sleeping through the night on my last dose of Benadryl, and luckily no problem getting up this morning, either. I walked over to the hospital for my one-day followup appointment.
So far I can tell my vision is different, but I've got a long way to go until it's good. I'm seeing things in the mid-range that used to be blurry but far is still bad and near (which used to be perfect) is also blurry. I still haven't had any pain yet, which is good but leaves me dreading pain's arrival.
The exam was quick. I was disappointed that the technician didn't tell me exactly how I did on the charts, but it was clear that I've got a ways to go until 20/20.
After the exam I went to the hospital's mini-BX to buy some Refresh+ artificial tears. I'll be seeing those a lot over the next year. The various docs here at Wilford Hall have told me to use it every half-hour, every 15 minutes, and even every 5 minutes until 2007. That's a lot of tears!
Today has been another sleeping day. I'm not allowed to read, watch TV, or use the computer until Friday so I just keep popping the pills when I can and sleeping as much as possible. That's the one good thing about not having e with me. She would be bored stiff if she were here because all I do is sleep all day. I still miss her and The Boy though.
