Day 44 Post-Op (Aug 3)

Since it is Ramadan and I am less hydrated during the day, I have noticed that whenever I wake up from sleep my eyes are dry and I need to hydrate them using eye drops.  I currently nap 3 times a day.  First is after suhoor (from 5am to 8:30am), next is after work (4pm to 6pm) and then at night (11pm to 4am).  After each of these naps I have to place hydrating eyedrops, especially since I still have the bandage contact lens in my eyes.  I am currently due next Monday to get them removed and I just can’t wait.  Once removed, I no longer have to tape an eye guard on my face every time I want to sleep, nor do I have to take extra caution in preventing water/shampoo from entering my eyes while taking a shower (and I also imagine I will not have to use hydrating eye drops as often).  Actually, I didn’t use the hydrating drops before Ramadan, so I believe I am doing well in terms of having no side-effects (apart from the extremely long healing process).
