Cancel it all?

Family hiking g in mountains
The two other parents here (besides Cheryl and me) are returning this year. But this year (2023) it’s gonna be late September, not late July. We are bundled up because it can be cold and windy in late July.

Plan for the worst. Hope for the best.

You heard me a month ago say that i thought worst case i’ll permanently lose sight in one eye.

Consequently, i wrote off the rest of the 2023 GNP Summer season. For me this turned a record-setting three-month GNP Summer into a one-month Summer.

Yes, and…

While i cancelled almost all accommodations, i didn’t cancel all of them.

Why?

Hoping for the best.

So here we are.

Eye sight is remarkably better than just a week ago.

Can envision me and Cheryl back on a Montana-bound plane.

Keep moving forward

Common sense, eh? An object in motion, like me, hates to not be in motion.

You need to be a couch potato.

Dr Kumar, Retina Surgeon

Keep moving forward is hard to do when your surgeon says, “Don’t do it!”

Not gonna lie, was more active today in the yard than i’ve been in the past three weeks

Eye surgery update, spirit

To describe the gratitude and joy felt from the sight-breakthrough 72-hours ago…it’s mystic, magical, humbling.

Graceful mindset

i am legally blind in one eye.

dad

Legally blind definition.

Dr. Kumar said things are going according to plan. There is still a decent amount of blood.

The extra blood prompted Dr. Kumar to do an ultrasound to rule out any open wounds.

The great news is the retina is attached and the three retina tear laser repairs are still intact.

Iconic Continental Divide image

unique mountain ridge formation
As the camera pans out, you begin to see how uniquely this one rock feature is an anomaly.

i will never forget the Universe’s generosity in allowing me to lose vision at home, not in Glacier.

dad

What a difference 36 hours makes.

Insignificant in a 60-plus year lifetime.

Critical in potentially saving a life, or at a minimum, not making things worse.

What if going blind would have happened in our Glacier Lodge room?

What if going blind would have happened on a trail?

What if going blind would have happened on a deep-in, remote trail and i was hiking alone?

Insanely grateful for it to happen 36 hours after returning home.
