It took months, but I’ve finally finished it. For being such a useful book, it was amazingly hard to get through without falling asleep. Something about Pollan’s writing just puts me out. It’s interesting, well structured, well written, but just not exciting.

I would recommend it, as long as it’s understood that it could take a very long time to get through. The interesting thing is that I wouldn’t want to read it quickly. By absorbing the content over the course of a few months, I was able to think through many of the chains of logic and resources put forth. It’s one thing to read a chapter, it’s another to carry that specific information around for a week when wandering the aisles in the grocery store.

One month checkup - I can drive now, but still have a lot of halos. PRK can take up to 6 months to fully heal, but I’m definitely pretty far along. My vision is around 20/40.

I can tell that I have the visual acuity to see clearly, but the halos create an artificial fuzz around everything. I can drive now, but seeing street signs is still a bit hard, especially at night.

I only have to scale fonts up about half as big as I did as of day 4 or so, so I’m getting there!
