Almost 1 week on (two)

I am almost done with a week since having my second eye done. Apologies for the delay in posting, but real life has intervened. I am on the road. In fact, I left on Tuesday and missed the normal day for meeting with an eye doc to remove the "bandage" contact from my left eye. The eye stopped hurting on Saturday about noon. There is a still some hazing in the eye but not as much as in the first several days. Not sure how much of the hazing is from the contact. I'm betting not much since it's less now that the contact has been in for 6 days. The doctor has given me license to remove the bandage contact myself on Thursday. I will probably do this in the AM. I am doing my second consecutive midnight-5 am tech gig and will probably remove the contact after getting a brief nap this coming morning.
On the positive side. I have been driving (mostly during the day) and this has gone well. Street signs are difficult, but speed limits, warning signs, etc are pretty visible and becoming more so. I still have the font size pumped up on my PC and Blackberry, but it's not absolutely necessary. Summary: I think that a 3 week wait would be the bare minimum for "hitless" PRK eye surgery. 4 weeks would be probably 95% chance of being completely smooth. Going at 2 weeks was a little early, but my guess that this will be completely workable at day 10 or so (4 days out, I hope!) . My working definition is of workable is "having a level of vision that is solid enough that I don't consciously think about it as I read, drive, etc" However, I am not sure that will happen even if I can read well. My right eye is seeing well enough that I find myself thinking that I should remove the contact from my eye before I go to bed. It's a good problem to have.
