A Necessary Pit Stop

 I've been having trouble over the years, particularly with my vision. I always wrote it off as slowly-declining, and left it at that. I'd get a new prescription with the new glasses and it would be fine. 

Until it wasn't. 

A few years ago the vision in my left eye got worse. I continued to deal with it until it came time to get another new pair of glasses. When I was taking the eye test, my left eye failed, reading -7.5 

I talked to my doc here, tried to book appointments and got nowhere. Finally I went back to California to visit family, and had it looked at in case there was a minor fix. Turns out I have cataracts. The left one needed to come out if I wanted to see through that eye again. I agreed and we did it. 

Long story short; I couldn't see very well for a long time and it caused me significant quality of life issues. I'm glad to have gotten the vision back. 

This will naturally make it a lot more fun to race cars, which I plan on doing this weekend. Lots of new cars to run that have only been tuned. 

Anyhow, thanks for reading. More posts coming.
