In a nutshell...8 years ago today I visited a RETINA SPECIALIST who pretty much took pictures of my eyes and basically told me that I should NOT be able to see, and would not be able to see for much longer. He didn't tell me how MUCH longer, that would be, nor did he tell me what I could do to save my eyesight.
WORST DOCTOR'S VISIT I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE!!!
I left his office depressed and discouraged. That lasted for about two weeks.
After those two weeks were up, I decided that I was going to LIVE my life and take in as much as I could SEE, WHILE I could see.
And here we are...
Folks sometimes wonder why I take so many pictures, or why I often stop dead in my tracks to gaze at something that most would overlook. My answer is simple...I do those things, because I STILL CAN.
Every day that I open my eyes and can STILL SEE is an incredibly amazing gift that I do NOT take for granted.
So on this day every year, January 29th, I celebrate what I call my "Birthdaversary." It's a combination of the day that truly began to see life around me, and my way of always remembering how precious this gift of sight is.
Now Let the DIALOGUE begin: Is there a medical milestone that you celebrate each year?
If so...Talk to me!
Til next time...
