Wow, slept 11 hours. That’s 2 night at 10 hours and now 11 hours. You have no idea how unusual that is for me.

I kept using the ice packs today and, overall, the eye was feeling less achy deep in the eye and burned less after using the drops. However, my eye still aches but more like the achiness you get the day after exercising. I think the dilation of my eye is straining the muscles because in the morning it’s like I have to limber the muscles up but my eye stays a little more tired. Maybe that’s why I’ve been sleeping so much.

My eye also feels … full. This is hard to explain. Part of this explanation is based on how my eye looks. It’s very pink under my lower eyelid and on the left side of my eye (beyond the surgical area) and “hilly” … bumpy like an “m”. The right side of my eye is getting really bloodshot.

So, here’s my strange theory based on how my eye looks and feels. Okay, so a large circle was cut out of the white part of my eye but not pulled together with stitches. So, it feels like the edges of the circle are continuing to separate and kind of gathering at the edges of my eye. When I look to the left, where the really pink “m’s” are, it feels like there’s something there. It’s very similar to the feeling you get when you have a hard contact lens slip off your eye and under your eyelid.
