I haven't updated this with any information in a few weeks. However things have essentially gotten worse, continuously, since the initial burn. Here's the log I've been keeping.

Driving across the state. My eye has essentially gotten worse over the course of the entire week. The line of floaters is much less pronounced, there's now a couple while like tentacles hanging down through the center of my vision, and while not black spots like before, at times I can see, literally, hundreds of these small floaters. When going outside, or in bright light, they are much more noticeable. Return to Harborview ED. Opthamologist, same guy (luckily, IMO), is on call. He looks again, says he still doesn't see any bleeding, and still that there isn't anything he can do on an interventional emergency basis. I asked if they could open my eye, clean it out, and sew it up (more or less). It was stated that while it IS possible, the risks outweigh the benefits, and that you are nearly 100% assured to end with a cataract and need follow up surgery for it months later. I have an appointment with the retina specialist in a week. The doctor said to keep that appointment, and that I did do the right thing by returning despite the fact that nothing could be done. The eye itself still aches, and I am still having headaches from it, although not constant. 20/15 left eye, 20/50 right eye, 20/20 overall.

Today there's a flashing in my right eye. I say my right eye but even if I cover / close my right eye I can still see it in the left. It's like a small strobing effect in the center of my vision. Enough to be distracting but not dangerously so. In the right eye it almost looks like a three leaf clover blinking probably 10 - 20 times per second. In the left eye it's more like a 3/4 circle doing a tunneling effect that blinks the same. They are like waves of visual distortion, like when you see heat rise from something and distort the image. This is one of the things they told me to watch out for, that could mean a bigger problem. Still have headaches.

HMC. Retina specialist took a lot of pictures of my eye with different machines. A couple of the pictures made me think "oh shit" by the looks of them. The blinking in my eye is from the vitreous pulling on the retina. The doctor believes the headaches are also not caused by the eye injury but from high blood pressure, and has asked me to monitor it. Again, nothing can be done, and time will tell.

Finally documenting everything.
3:59pm 138/81 @ 58, eye is blinking, and it still aches.
Something I've noticed, first thing in the morning, the eye is damn near useless if I cover my left. It's vision is substantially worse than it is "usually". It seems to clear up 15-30 minutes after waking up. At this point if I cover my left eye I can read large text right just my right eye, but everything is blurry from all the floaters. If I go outside I see hundreds, if not thousands of tiny black spots momentarily. These are from the floaters casting shadows onto the retina.
Today though is the first day in weeks I've actually noticed the blind spot itself. I don't know if this is an improvement or not, but for some reason it seems like it is. Perhaps things are clearing up some? Eye still aches.
So that's my log up till current.
TL;DR
It has only gotten continually worse with specialist saying there is little to nothing that can be done.
