Setbacks and Obstacles?! Pfffft! I have to apologize for my absence, and not having blogged on my latest updates to my ongoing journey. However, I did have yet another eye surgery, and staring at a screen is not in the pecking order of things that help in recovery. It is also very difficult to do with dry eye disease, which is yet another inflammatory ailment. Both of these together have just made it difficult to have computer time. So, I hope to get things caught up today! As for the surgery, it has been the same as the last 9 times. I got naked, and put on one of those backless robes, and the little socks with the tire tracks on the bottom. Then I was put into one of those extra big/tall beds in which I would later have the surgery. The doctor comes in and tells me her plan. She holds her hand up to heaven in anticipation of this being my last time having to do this! Then I am wheeled into the OR, and was wrapped...
In the back of my mind, I could hear ring announcer Bruce Buffer saying, "It's Time!!!!!" Yep! It is really past time for me to grab this by the horns! I have to lose weight, and I know it will not be an easy journey. More than just losing weight, I want to be healthier. So, I'm really telling this for me, but I hope that it helps someone else in their journey as well. So, laugh with me, or at me! But laugh! ~Stephen Smyly
