I woke up and could see fairly well this morning. Things seemed to be clear and improving. No stinging - I was glad about that.

We quickly got ready and headed back to the eye doctor for a post-operative exam.

As soon as I ogt in the car, my eys started to sting like crazy and tear up. Yesterday was dark, cloudy, and rainey, but the small amount of outdoor light still bothered my eyes. I sat in the car with my eyes closed the entire way to my appointment. Luckily I knew that the stinging, tearing, and light sensitivity was very common after the surgery.

My exam went well, and they said there was no sighn of infection. Now I needed to go back on Suinday to remove the eye "bandage."

By the time I got to the eye doctgor, my eyes stopped tearing and stinging.

For the rest of the day I listgened to the television and several movies. I would keep my eyes closed and sneek a peek every once in a while. I fell asleep on the couch several times, and managed to check my work email several times.

The stinging would sporatically occur and would last for 15 minutes to an hour. Most of the afternoon I spent with my eyes partially or fully closed.

I'll be going to bed early tonight.
