In Summary:
* More than anything else, today has been a “recovery” day. I wasn't necessarily expecting that, but turns out it was needed. All the testing done on my right eye Thursday and Friday mornings was surprisingly stressful. A stress-free, relaxing Saturday has done wonders to steady my mind.
