Eliminating regret can be as small as asking for something you think could be nothing. But if it ‘was’ something and you could have caught it early but didn’t…

i’m pro-level dialed into my health.

i over-focus on the same things i used to under-focus on or ignore.

Google said the floaters are not troublesome at this stage in the recovery.

i have a recent and current history with eye surgeries…

Experienced my eyesight return so well three weeks after the first surgery. Told Cheryl, “My sight without glasses seems better than with glasses, on the repaired left eye.

The surgery recovery unexpectedly turned into classic “once bitten twice shy”. Here’s how…

At the beginning of the forth week post-op eye surgery number one, the retina ruptured while i laid in bed watching Yellowstone.

No warning signs. None. Zero.

But immediate action the next day, a Tuesday (September 12), led to emergency eye surgery number two on Thursday (September 14) . This is the surgery i’m now four weeks post op recovering from.

Today is Friday the 13th. October.

Better safe than sorry is worthless as a theory without application.

30-second video: More rooftop stuff. Note: October 7, not 17th…sometimes stuff is close but inaccurate. 😳

Sunrises never get old.

As progress happens, there’s a super slow return to daily habits. Being up on the roof is a regular perk from an active and present lifestyle. Walking for 60 minutes a day versus 30 minutes a day – so juvenile, yet so welcomed.

Anything that doesn’t feel like a couch-potato prison feels like a ticket to normal.

9-second video: Offers to meet up ‘downtown’ (what I call home/WDW) still arrive. Can’t do most of them. And some of them are no brainers.

John granted permission to take photos of the photos he takes. This is not the first time, it’s the second.

Plan for worst case. Hope for the best.

Still making progress at the end of the third week following the second emergency eye surgery from September 14, 2023.

Still legally blind.

A longer lasting (2 months vs 2 weeks) gas bubble makes the visual clarity a longer game.

Ultimately, motivation is your supreme fuel.

dad

Motivation is never on the average and above average health results radar screen.

Only the outliers leverage it to its highest, healthiest potential.

Andy. Toy Story. Triple R Ranch. Summer House. Breakfast. Golden Oak. Today.

Every day is Super Bowl Sunday at Disney. Transfer that to your health and see what happens.

dad

What would happen if Disney was in charge of your movement, sleep, and nutrition?
