Had C3R 2 weeks ago, but vision still poor - is this normal?

Hi guys,
As the title suggests really.
I have KC quite bad in my right eye and recently started to develop in my left eye.
After consultation with my Eye Specialist at the Yorkshire Eye Hospital, we decided that C3R in my left eye would be sensible to try and stabilise and protect the vision i have before it deteriorates further.
I went for C3R on 15th May.
Everything seemed to go fine and i had a bandage lens fitted as planned. I went back a week later (last Thurs) to have the lens removed, but when the doc removed the lens my vision was still quite impaired.
The doc said my cells had regenerated nicely but still need time to stabilise and 'fall into posiiton naturally'.
That made sense to me. Problem is that a week later, and i still have poor vision. I can see ok, but there is no clarity.
Driving is difficult and even typing this post now, i'm struggling to see what i'm typing.
I have no pain my eye at all, in fact i had little pain 24 hours after the operation.
I'm going back in later this morning to see the doc as i'm concerned at the speed of my recovery. As my right eye has KC already, my overall vision is currently worse than it was before the operation.
I'm due back at work on Monday, but as i can't see well enough to drive or type, i'm really confused as to what i need to do next.
I guess i can't decide until i've seen the doc later this morning, but in the meantime can anyone tell me if what i am describing in terms of recovery is normal or should my eye have healed by now??
Please help.
