Update:

Okay I went back to the doctor one week after the surgery, and he said things looked well (that the scarring was at 80% capacity to hold already) and that I should come back in another 2 weeks.

I'm supposed to go back on Wednesday, but I'm actually going to show up there Monday morning instead. This is because I've started seeing occasional flashes in my eye (something I've never seen before). I've read that this can be as normal as floaters (related to aging) but could be something worse. I'm going to be totally worried all weekend. I wonder if I should be trying to find emergency weekend help (not that I think I could get it).

I worry that I exacerbated my eye because -- without knowing I wasn't supposed to -- I exercised several times after the surgery. I was at the gym and mentioned to another woman there that I'd had laser surgery and she said "oh you're not supposed to exercise after laser surgery!" So I call the doctor's office, and they say oh yes, no exercise, no weight-lifting, etc. Now why didn't they tell me that while I was in there?! I wouldn't have done it.

Does anyone else have flashes? It's not a whole bunch all at once, but it's every so often (in the same eye where I had surgery). It's possible that I'd seen them in the past and not noticed it. I just don't know. This all terrifies me completely.
