Post Op Day 1, work

Bloodshot eye after eye surgery
At home, two hours after bandage removal. “Documenting” the recorvery.

Excellence is a mindset.

Good and and very good aren’t good enough. The words we use tell us, and everyone, how high we set our bar.

Eye surgery update, work

Interacting with others is different with vision in just one eye.

If i don’t tell anyone, they’ll never know.

Makes me wonder what others i interact with might be going through or dealing with.

It’s not like i’m (or others are) trying to keep a secret.

It’s just life.

Perfectly imperfect.

Creative mindset

Last night before bed.

Adversity doesn’t develop character, it reveals it.

My personal vibrancy’s strength is proportional to my habit’s strength.

The higher the stakes, the harder it is to survive unexpected blows. This is true for everyone.

Classic example of “build your house out of rock on a rock foundation”. Recall the parable “The Three Little Pigs”.

And so it goes, at work

10-second video: Surreal to be in this present moment.

The future is calling and i must go.

The reality of the eye challenge is that the cause is simply from aging.

Like human hair turning grey, aging eventually sees to it that everyone’s hair turns grey.

This is a new phase of life for me.

A beginner, so to speak.

A rookie.

Uncharted territory.

The future is calling and i must go. (hat tip to John Muir for his, “The mountains are calling and I must go.”

Ps. Hey jeff, happy hiking.

Last night

Track & Field 2023 day 7 competition schedule
Have been enjoying the 2023 Track & Field World Championships for the past week. A great diversion.

Yesterday, and especially last night, the nerves the 2023 Track & Field World Championships athletes must feel the night before they compete.

Note: Dr Kumar said recovery is going exactly as hoped. That said, however, there is blood in the eyeball. Doc said sometimes the surgery can have an “oozy” (rhythms with boozie) recovery.

This means i need to double down on efforts to be a complete ‘couch-potato”.

Ain’t gonna lie, i was outside a lot since surgery.

Why?

No pain in eye makes you forget the absolute radical physical impact to the eyeball.

If you can’t see blood or feel pain, and you are not expecting to have sight for several weeks, everything is okay, right?

Nope!
