I have been dreaming about LASIK ever since I can...

I have been dreaming about LASIK ever since I can remember. Been wearing glasses since 7th grade and contacts since I was 14. Now at 31, I told myself enough was enough. My best friends wedding was May of this year and we were up at 5am getting ready with pictures to be taken by 8am. As the Maid of Honor I knew I would be busy until at 2 or 3am. I struggled with the idea of keeping my contacts in for that long....so, I decided I would wear my glasses and take them off for pictures and put back when needed until it was a good time to put on my contacts. I knew it would probably smudge my gorgeous makeup job but I could risk an eye infection. So that was it for me. I started saving and about 5 months later I had enough for the procedure. I chose Joffe medicenter in Houston from their great reviews and wonderful service they provided from the consultation. Even the amazing scent of the place was comforting. Everyone was super nice and I felt like I could trust them. A week before my scheduled procedure I ditched the contacts and could only wear glasses. The whole week I kept saying, after this no more glasses, you can do this! The day of my procedure I was super nervous. I had my bestie and my husband with me the whole time.
Chewed the Valium I was given and shortly after, entered "the room". The procedure lasted around 15 mins. I got up from the table with my eyes closed. In my head I said to myself, this is it! When you open your eyes everything will be clear....the doctor told me to open my eyes.....hmmmmm, why in the hell is everything so effing blurry still! Could it be that this didn't work on me???? How could everyone I've read about and spoke to have this crazy amazing vision right off the bat? Were they ALL lying?? I immediately started to secretly panic. Doctor said it's completely normal. Went home, fell asleep, woke up extremely hazy but could watch tv from my bed without any help. Next day went in for post op visit. I'm seeing 20/15 but still hazy and a little more blurry particularly when I'm inside or in dim light. Again, completely normal said the doctor. Umm ok...haven't heard of these results but I'll go with it. I am now 9 days post op and my vision that was 20/15 outside is now 20/40 and just so blurry unless a few feet in front of me. I am a server...at work I feel like I'm walking around blind. The headaches are ridiculous from the blurriness. I went back to the doctor yesterday and I need to give it a few more weeks to heal....who the hell walks around friggin blind like this??? Everyday I wake up and I pray is the day that my vision is clear. And everyday I'm soooo disappointed every time I open my eyes. My eyes hurt from the constant squinting. I can't believe this has happened. All that money and I'm still going to need glasses.
