Hey CC

Health issues are always a bit hard to deal with. My eyesight is beginning to cause me problems along with the negative effects of cancer surgery. Some things have improved, and some have not.

What I have come to understand is that there will be some things I will just have to live with. I think the best relief from the fear and discomfort of the various issues has been the acceptance of what I can and cannot change.

The human body is capable of some pretty amazing things, so recovery is definitely possible. I think it is always valuable to hope for the best and prepare for something less. Losing one's vision is a pretty scarry thought but it is not the end of the world.

Reaching out to let others know what is going on is a really good idea. Many of us will be sending good thoughts your way.
