Big shop Monday! I do one of these a month and do 2-3 smaller Aldi/ Deliveroo 50 off Monday top ups. Amazon had given me 3x £20 off £70 shop codes (20MULTIMOR - not sure when this expires) so Morrisons have been supplying the big shops lately. Full price would have (obviously) been £76.53
I alternate between one big (£80 ish) shop a month and these smaller shops. This will keep me well fed for the week along with some cupboard staples/ frozen bits.
I found reading recovery diaries incredibly helpful before my surgery, so I thought I’d document mine in case it helps someone else.
I’m 25, had TransPRK at Moorfields in London for -6.25/-6.50 myopia with no astigmatism. I originally expected SMILE, but my surgeon recommended TransPRK as the safest option.
Rather than writing one enormous post, I’m going to put each recovery day in the comments and keep updating it over the coming weeks.
EDIT: I’ll come back and update this in a couple of weeks and over the next few months once my vision has (hopefully!) sharpened up a bit.
I have zero regrets right now, and even though my vision is still getting there, it’s miles better than what I had before. I can’t believe people just wake up everyday and see like this. I also only have good things to say about Moorfields. The care was fantastic and I’m happy to answer more questions by DM if helpful about going there.
