Post Op Day 1, body

Moments after the bandage is removed. Unfiltered. Capturing the journey in more detail the second time around.

Movement is a mindset.

Eye regression

19-second video: Wanted to capture, in the moment, precisely what i was experiencing 30 minutes after “the dark, painless burst”.

Never panic, especially when you start to feel panicked.

Wanted to capture, in the moment, precisely what i was experiencing 30 minutes after “the dark, painless burst”.

As we watched Episode 11, of Ted Lasso season three, without any warning, a dark circle appeared in the lower left eye.

No pain. No warning. But definitely a heart-sinking moment.

Note: The video, from tired and uncertain jeff, missed a contextual point: With lights, and eyes open the circle is black. With lights out, and eyes shut, the circle “glows” like an Angler Fish.

Start with six miles

Photo: September 2022…looking forward to getting back within a week from today (mid-September, 2023).

Cherish when things take a sudden turn for the best.

Called Dr. Kumar’s office this morning.

Why?

Dr. Kumar wanted to see me in two weeks and said i could call to come in earlier if my sight got worse.

But…

He didn’t say anything about what to do if things got better, faster.

Things are going better than expected.

So i called.

Moved the two-week appointment ahead by five days.

Why?

Because Dr. Kumar is going to like what he sees when he examines my retina.

Warning – Gas bubble in eye

Green health warning bracelet
Removed this from my wrist, without doctor approval, because i saw the gas bubble disappear.

It’s only impossible until you do it the first time.

This morning’s brief sunrise walk validated my improving vision. Still a bit foggy but hugely better than one week ago.
