anyone had LASIK or PRK surgery?

I just had my PRK surgery done almost two weeks ago 4 Sept 2014. I am the 1% that the dr in our briefing warns you about. The 1% that experiences everything that can go wrong. I followed the instructions down to a "T". I even set my timer on my phone because they said wait 5 min before you put in your other med(s).
I slept as much as I could only to wake long enough to eat and drink. I did not watch tv. I let my eyes and my body rest as much as possible.
The day they took my bandage (contact) off my eyes. Not even 6 hours later the "new" skin that grew over my pupil was dangling on my eye. To make everything worse... I'm military and the surgeon that did my surgery told the ER to have me come in the office the next day. The pain was the most horrible pain imaginable. I was traumatized. The ER didn't know how to fix it. I finally asked what is their goal for me. When they said there wasn't one. After waiting close to 8 hours in the ER, I left home crying. I put a new contact on my eye do I could blink/move my eye without the flap of skin moving. Needless to say. I may have slept 10-15 min that night. Once I made it to the dr's office. He removed the skin from my eye. He stated "it was like I had the surgery all over again". 6 days later (today) they took the contact off. It feels like something is in my eye. The same sensation I had the last time they took the bandage off, I have it now.
As for my vision. It changes from day to day and hour to hour.
As of right now. If I could go back I wouldn't have the surgery done. But a friend of mine that had complications told me I will change my mind once I heal.

I've worn glasses since I was 8, and now I'm 27 and have had enough.

I booked a consultation at a clinic for next week, but I am wondering:

Has anyone had LASIK or PRK done?
What was your experience?
Did it hurt?
How long did it take to heal and return to normal life?

Please let me know, even if your experience was a bad one....
(but I especially hope to hear good things!!)

I had Lasik about 4 years ago. Experience was good. I looked for the best doctor, not the cheapest one. If they are offering a special, don't be tempted. These are your eyes you are talking about. There was some pain the first night after the happy pills wore off. The next day, everything was great. My eyes stayed red for a few days due to some broken capillaries. You do have to use drops to help with dryness for about a year.

I have 20/15 vision now. I've had to wear contacts or glasses since I was 11. I don't regret my decision at all to have the surgery. It's life changing for the better.
