Two years ago my dad went in for a simple, fifteen minute cataract surgery on his eye. During the surgery the machine broke. Since, my father has gone through several retina reattachment surgeries and cornea transplants, but is still (and will always be) blind in that eye. Because he still has such pain, it is likely that the eye will need to be removed.
Finally, my parents are going forward legally. For a long time they just wanted him to get better, but he isn't going to get better and they've accepted that.
Today, a videographer (is that a real word?) came to interview us all about my father's quality of life before the experience and how this has changed his life.
It was very emotional.
But afterwards, when I would usually eat a piece of peanut butter pie or drink two glasses of wine, I went to the gym and sweat like I have never sweat before and came back feeling MUCH better.
So, today, rather than giving you a picture from my day...
this seems more appropriate!
you're such a great inspiration, anna. really. i <3 you.
ReplyDeleteI heart you too. You are my ROCK.
ReplyDeleteI mean, honestly, you are the person who motivates me and gives me a shoulder to cry on and validates me no matter what.
