Lasik times 3

Hi everyone. I've been quite for a dew days because I've had a 3rd lasik procedure done. This time on my right eye. The Dr. decided on not relifting the flap that was created in the first procedure. Instead he scraped the cells off the layer of my eyeball and lasered the exposed eye and put a replacement lens on top. The cells are expected to grow back underneath the contact lens. I went in yesterday for a check up and the Dr. said everything looks fine and he can take the lens off on monday. My vision in my right eye is exceptionally blurry right now. It's like looking through a stand glass window. I've been told to keep it very lubricated and I've been putting 4 different drops in my eye. It's quite uncomfortable and I've been keeping it shut for the most part. It's been impossible for me to be at the computer, this is actually the first time since I had it done this week that I have been at the computer. My eye is sensitive to light and so I've been wearing the dark sunglasses that the dr. gave me. I have a feeling I will be out all weekend. I've been sleeping in these aviator looking goggles. It looks like I'm about to take off and fly across the Atlantic every time I get ready for bed or to take a nap. I'm staying at Eric's house since he lives close to the Dr's office, he is on tour with Frenzy right now so I'm just kinda hanging out. I'm not confident to try driving especially at night - and it's already 8pm. Plus it's Oscar weekend so driving into Hollywood will probably be insane since I live down the street from where at Oscars are hosted, at the Kodak Theater. The last 2 times the procedure was lifting the flap and the recovery seemed faster, this time since the layer of cells have to grow back I'm not seeing an improvement it's just a lot more burry. Granted, the Dr. told me this is to be expected and to give it a week. But gosh darn, that's a long time!
