Adventure on the wall

Adventure vibes. Reminder. Promise. Truth.

If you want an adventurous life, lean into it. You are the driver.

Being blind for eight months is not an adventure.

Well, it is an adventure.

But blindness has cons and pros.

For starters, i never knew (and still don’t) if this is temporary or permanent.

Sleep is medicinal

The day is won in the morning. The morning is won the night before. Sleep has a starring role in victory. As does planning, using your prioritized priorities.

Master the art of sleeping well. Why? Because the alternative may be torture.

Stayed up late to watch Iowa and UConn battle for the NCAA Women’s championship game berth.

Been a long time since i slept until 7:45 AM.

But i did it.

Why?

Motivation.

For what?

For the potential to undo the blindness in the left eye.

Driven by the desire to heal the eye from the Cataract surgery 48 hours ago.

By the way, the game lived up to its hype.

As sleepy as i was, it was impossible to nod off.

Today is another great day for another great day.

Cataract followup, body

Photo: Last night. Focused on eight hours each night post surgery especially. It’s always the goal. But now it’s a heightened priority. If you can’t exercise, then focus on rest.

Regaining eye sight after eight months of blindness is extraordinary.

The eye-sight honeymoon is off to a great start.

Grateful.

Remarkably so.

Food is medicine and i’m grateful for always feeling that way.

Pain-free in pre-op, surgery, and post-op.

It’s supposed to be.

But things don’t always go the way the Marketing brochure pitches.

But sometimes they do.

Trying to play it cool

9-second video: Trying to stay cool, calm, and collected.

Life gives random tests we all want to pass, but never want to take. Build your foundation to pass these tests when they come. Bank on them coming when you aren’t ready.

dad

Nearly four months ago, i easily recall how in 30 seconds i surrendered to a possible reality of permanently losing sight in one eye.
