Night 2: still no pain

Wore the shields, re-lubed when I got up to take a nature break at 5. No issues. I went out last night to check the mail. It was 10 or 11 pm. The 2/3 waxing moon was up and there was lots of light. I took off my patch to see just how big and bad the halos would be around car lights or street lights. The halos were about 50% bigger and definitely thicker than the same types of halos you see when driving at night w/dried out contacts. FYI.
One thing that is a very cool side effect--your recovering eye is very light sensitive. During the day this translates to watering and pain (AND POTENTIAL SCARRING BY UV RADIATION!!), if you don't shield it. At night, dude you can see like a cat!! Okay, I suspect that cats can see a little better, but when I held my hand in front of alternate eyes, I could see light and shadows with my unfixed eye, but I could see like it was day AND into the shadows like they weren't there with my lasered eye. Someone needs to figure out how to make this happen w/out the laser work.
Ok, more on day 3 later. Theoretically, the ride should be getting rough today. I am in no pain, but I am taking preventative measures and holding frozen veggies over my eye this AM while drinking coffee.
