I had my appointment with the retinal specialist this morning, and was surprised to find that I was also getting the laser surgery there. I went to work afterward because that had been my original plan and I wasn't thinking too well. Once I arrived, I realized it was not the best idea and went home to rest until around 2:00 and then went back in ( Read more... )

I'm so glad it's taken care of! What's the recovery period?

Wow, that's surprising! I'm glad that you've had it taken care of though.

Hope to see you soon!

That is fast! Get well soon! I am off to NY on Thurs, so I look forward to seeing you when I get back.

They didn't tell me any recovery period (hence the going straight in to work). I googled the procedure and found a website that said "you'll be fine to go in to work the next day".

It still hurts, especially if I move my eyes around a lot. Once I thought about it, it was kind of silly to think that a major (though tiny) burn is going to stop hurting immediately. I don't think it will take that long, and it isn't constant or awful, so I can handle it. I am taking painkillers, though.

Thanks for the good wishes!

That must be a relief! Do you do a lot of looking at a computer at work? That might strain your eyes. Hope it feels right as rain soon!
