Cataract followup, mind

From Swiftcurrent Mountain. From Granite. From The Loop. From St Mary. From Kalispell Airport. Deep in is an understatement.

When i say “deep in” take it to mean few ever get to the place.

dad

“Few get to the place” has layers of meaning.

Physically in this example. But also mentally, spiritually, with a career, with an intentional home life.

If you want to experiment with your own perspective, watch the video (link below) again and contemplate it from all five of life’s big choices.

Video

Overall, feeling very good about Dr. Shumski’s surgery.

Note: If it wasn’t for the lingering possibility, (although slim, it ain’t zero), that the lens implant could collapse into my eye the way a roof might collapse into a house—super rare yet it happens. And my odds of rare, are accentuated because it’s rare indeed to go into cataract surgery with two fresh retina surgeries in the same eye.

Ya feelin’ me?

i am the antithesis of pessimistic.

i know you know this.

Just me talking to me.

Cataract surgery, mind

13-second video: Third eye surgery in nine months in left eye.
Book about eye sight surgery history
A tabletop book in the lounge, great karma. “He changed the world so that we may better see it.”

There’s nothing more important to me than trust. Your first victory is self-trust.

dad

Yesterday’s cataract surgery was routine.

However, due to the trauma from two retina tear repair surgeries in one month to the same eye, there’s an increased risk for me to have a compromised eye structure.

While rare, the possibility exists.

If the eye structure is “too compromised” than the lens implant may not hold. Possibly falling into the eyeball.

In that case, Dr Kumar, the Retina specialist, would need to retrieve it later.

It’s only rock and roll

Rolling Stones album
Their 12th album, released 1974.

It’s only rock and roll but i like it.

Rolling Stones

Prolific writing feels like rock and roll to me.

What?

i like it.

i love writing five daily, differently-themed blog posts.

The next milestone for “playing rock and roll” is 6,000 consecutive days.

It’s not a goal.

Never was. Never will be.

But if i don’t die, 6,000 consecutive days is gonna happen.

And if i die before it happens, then the real goal was realized…

To “play rock and roll until the day that i die.”

Weird math: 6,000 days is 30,000 blog posts. Insane.

i wouldn’t

Why in God’s name would you stop doing something you love to do?

dad

Besides the obvious reasons already shared the past two days, why would i stop?

i wouldn’t.

So i’m not.

April Fools Day, reprise

To thine own self be true.

Shakespeare

Nobody cares.

Which is perfect, actually.

Did you know you can’t comment on any of my blog posts?

Did you know you can’t socially share them either?

Did you know i’ve been “blogging” for some time now?

Did you know i write to myself as the primary audience? And for our son in case i ain’t around later in life?

That’s why today is a fun day to “talk about” it.

Magic is when something unexpectedly surprising and delightful happens. i knew the day to stop blogging might come, but never knew if, or when.

Now i know.

The decision happened fast.

Definitely surprising.

Definitely unexpected.

Too early to tell if it’s delightful.

That’s the fun part of life, the adventure that the future offers.

Make no mistake, since 2009 the thought of stopping surfaced occasionally. Sometimes years between the thoughts. Sometimes weeks.

And most recently, three days ago, two days ago, yesterday, and now today.

Ps. Have been asking what would mornings (or in recent years, afternoons) look like with an extra two hours not devoted to writing five daily, differently-themed blog posts.

Simultaneously, a fair question to ask is how much is enough?

Seriously, 15 years, well over 27,000 blog posts.

By the way, since April Fools Day 2009, my published blog post total is more than 10,000 posts over the “official” world record of 17,212.

Nobody cares.

But, privately, it’s fun to know it’s true.

Today would have been the start of year 16.
