When I got Home I took 2 Tylenol PM's and fell asleep on the Couch, I don't know how long I slept..
Then around 11pm I took 2 more PM's and slept till the morning...the Dr's Office gave me goggles to wear but I wore a patch..it came off during the night anyway, I slept great all night...

The next morning the "sand in my eye" feeling had gone completely and it was as if nothing happened....

The only down side is that, as expected and explained before the Surgery, it's taking time to get used to my new Blended/Mono Vision it takes the Brain a week or two to get used to it....I've gotten through the first 4 Days so far by closing either my reading or non reading eye on ocassion if I want to focus near or far...The Doc tested my eyes at the Consult and put a contact Lense in one eye and said I could go home with it and see how it went but I declined and just went for it...
Thanks for the forewarning of things to come (hopefully) and also, just everyone talking about this, makes me feel less anxious.
