After surviving my inner lids being stabbed by 150 needles, I was beyond stoked to be rewarded with “normal” eyes, something that’s eluded me for years. Finally!

Zeus and his fellow gods and goddesses on Mt. Olympus must really be Greecing the skids for me. It seems every time I’m ordered to spend weeks off my feet, Zeus sends his special spectacle to the rescue!

I’ve always tried to enjoy every phase of my brawl as best I can. I had 2 great days with a very special nurse, Lisa, during this latest stay, and she made my days with her as enjoyable as hospital days can possibly be. She went out and bought me a decaf 2% latte at […]
