4 months - Moment of Regret

I have never felt regret during the LASEK process like today.  During the 5-week period where the bandage contact lens were in my eyes during the first month after the surgery, I suffered tissue loss on the stromal section of the cornea.  This means my right eye may never see clear again.  The doctor believes corneal tissue may grow and fill that gap up.  He only knew that after taking a full corneal scan of my eye, the first since I did the surgery 4 months ago.

Haze is reducing, and the doctor believes I will see a significant change around December (2 months from now).  If my left eye can recover completely, perhaps I will not feel as much regret as I do now.  Was this all a mistake?  It doesn't matter thinking negative thoughts now.  What's happened has happened.  A stupid mistake like keeping bandage contact lenses in for 5 weeks having such a huge impact on my life made me realize how fragile we human beings are.  No use of regret.  Time to live life, accept what has happened and move on.  God, I will keep living on as usual, but I ask and pray to you to please help my eyes recover.  God, please help my vision recover...

For the time being, they prescribed me with strong lenses which I have to get and start wearing eyeglasses to avoid the constant headaches I've been suffering from due to my eyestrain when trying to constantly focus on anything.  The prescription:

Eight eye: +6.00 -2.00x 90
Left eye: +2.25

The machine reading was different, but here it is:
