~ Happy Valentines Day ~

To all my sweet friends...

I hope you all have a wonderful valentines day filled with love, joy, peace and happiness. 

Also maybe some candy, flowers or bling. ;)

This will probably seem strange but Mr. Primcat and I don't really celebrate Valentines day. I decorate for it... but I'm not into the hype of it all. We try to show each other love and appreciation everyday... and neither of us feels we need to have a set day to do that. He will I am sure buy me half price roses tomorrow... and I will I am sure cook him a nice dinner tomorrow... but tonight... we are cleaning house. lol. Romantic eh? We think so. ♥

So... lets do an eye update. 

Getting better everyday! 

How great is that? I still have major moments of wacked out weird vision but it is getting much better everyday! My periods of good vision are getting longer and longer and my periods of bad are getting shorter and shorter. 

I have been asked again and again if I wish I had not done this because of the nightmare the last 3 weeks were... and I want to say very clearly...

I am so glad I did PRK Eye Surgery.

What I do wish for is that the Dr's had been more honest about the healing time. PRK is a major eye surgery that takes time to heal. It’s way harder on healing than lasik. They did not clearly explain that in their sales pitch. They told me 3-5 days. Even now if you go on their website it says

“The patient is left with a corneal abrasion that takes a few days to heal, and the vision improves slowly over several days.”

FYI… that’s BS and I wish they would take it down. No one heals from PRK in 3-5 days. No one. They remove the epithelial cells from on top of your cornea and minimum it takes 2 weeks for those cells to regrow. Then minimum it takes a month for those cells to flatten back out so you don’t have vision disturbances. I wish they would have just told me that. I realize that doesn’t sell the surgery very well… but I still would have done it. I just would not have been so stressed about it because I would have understood what was happening and why.

Right now I am waiting for the “scab” to come off. That first layer of cells that grew back needs to slough off so I am looking though newer flatter cells. Any day now. :)

The only thing that is still getting me is that I’m light sensitive. So things with light will set off that wonky double triple vision thing. Driving when it’s dark, early morning and night, the TV going from dark scenes to bright scenes and especially the computer monitor. But those things are also getting better everyday so I am sure in no time that I will crystal clear all the time.

So no… I do not regret this for one second. It sucked and if I would have known I would have planned better but it was very worth it. I can see so clear now for hours and hours at a time with out disturbances… and it’s awesome!

House wise... I have been busy redoing the kitchen in the last week. I think I’m done for now. “for now” lol. You know how that is. I will start on the living room next. I have some really fun ideas for the door corner. I’m thinking gardening theme. I will be busy this Saturday on our shopping trip so I will probably wait to start on that until next week.

Until next time…
