Plan, don’t panic

Google search results page for vision issues
Started Googling “dark circle in eye” at 640am today. iPhone Google search last night was uninspired…just wanted to fall asleep and wake up today feeling better.

Absence makes your heart grow fonder.

Knew the Retina Doc’s office would be answering calls starting at 8:00AM.

Knew our local Eye Doc’s office opens at 9:00 AM.

Knew i’d drive to wherever necessary to get a clinical determination.

Didn’t know how long a walk-in wait would be. Planned for a long wait. Packed snacks and drinks in the car.

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

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”.

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!
