Cataract followup, spirit

2024 hurricane season weather report on tv — This ain’t no honeymoon. Biggest (‘fiercest’) forecast ever.

Hell is sneaky. Hell on Earth is living a life that’s a lie.

i take solace knowing seconds after going blind, 36 hours after returning for a one week Glacier Summer visit break, when i couldn’t see my arm in front of me, i surrendered to it possibly being permanent and irreversible.

So while i am so excited for the high odds my blindness will be reversed, i also am mindful (though the odds seem less than 50%) that a catastrophic cataract lens implant rejection is possible.

Ps. And then there’s the reality of the 2024 Hurricane Season being potentially devastating for areas in the record-breaking paths.

Cataract surgery, spirit

Sunrise — From our seats on the lounge couch. Great karma.

Pain is unavoidable. Learn to anticipate, treat, and grow from pain.

Valium is part of the pre-op.

Valium takes the place of anesthesia.

Numbing eye drops preceded the Valium.

Grateful that each employee had a narrative describing what they were doing, before and during the thing they were doing.

Perfect example of providing the patient what they want versus what they need.

Patients need safety protocols, and appropriate medications and preparation.

What every patient wishes for, or wants, is never having to wonder what’s gonna happen next.

Bonus note of gratitude: Was asked before the doctor came in to start if i wanted more Valium. Feeling a little too ‘present’, i said a little more would be helpful. They gave me half a dose under my tongue. Which seemed to be perfect in hindsight.

Lead with your smile

Children’s book cover — Dr Kumar’s office manager just published this and gave us a copy.

Random acts of kindness are some of life’s greatest blessings. To the receiver, and, to the giver. Be a giver.
dad

Insight: In giving, you get. Whatever you put out into the world.

For decades now, i strive to only give positive energy.

With a heavy heart and a track record of 110 days of no definitive progress, i knew i would project to Dr Kumar a great big Disney smile when he entered the exam room.

Smiling wasn’t what i was feeling, but it’s a gift i wanted to give.

Get caught up

As years go by, your “i’m gonna do this when i retire” list grows. Enjoying your present blessings may be the only ‘to-do’ that matters.

This Luke Combs song played yesterday and it struck me…Forever, after all.
