That was the description of the next few days of post-PRK recovery. Unfortunately for Yeesin, the "discomfort" ranged from "Super Excessive" to "OH MY GOD!!". Yes, it was that bad. We should have known that when they prescribed her Tylenol #3, which incidentally is the same stuff they gave me for my wisdom teeth removal! Sunday was totally an opposite of Saturday's experience for her... She woke up at 2am, almost screaming in pain, with her eyes swollen up, and tearing all over the place. It was so bad, she couldn't even go to sleep until we had some numbing eye drops and Ibuprofen 800 into her system... For the rest of Sunday, she was drugged up with Tylenol #3 which not only numbs the pain, but it also puts you to sleep....
Its Tuesday now, Thankfully! She's recovered enough to go to work today. Doctor's took off the bandage contact lens in her eyes yesterday. Turns out that the pain over the weekend was the eye cells healing. I still think they understated the "discomfort" part. She's really sensitive to light, but her eyesight is still improving. She'll stick to wearing sunglasses everywhere until the light doesn't hurt. At least she'll look cool in wearing her shades indoors!!
