Small Steps....Springtime Runs

So now I know what I need to do to overcome all of these eye problems. I need to SLOWLY get back to my running. I cannot exert myself too much before I have surgery or I risk worsening the iritis, and in turn making my cataract problem worse.

So slowly I am doing short runs, as I did today. I will start registering my runs starting tomorrow as part of my pre-marathon training.

Fixing Cataracts--Good News!

I got some great news from my opthamologist. And also I got some bad news. Anyway, my condition, irisitis has created cataracts in both of eyes. And I need to have surgery on both of them. Now my right eye, is the worst. I've lost 60% of my vision in that eye. The other one will have to be fixed after the right eye.

So I will make a recovery! Unfortunately this will NOT correct my vision. I will be nearsighted as before. But at least I will be seeing clearly again.

Something Meaningful

The letter speaks for itself. I appreciate everything end ESPECIALLY receiving "the
Surfer's Bible". I have already read quite a bit of it!

Anyway, thanks. That was an incredibly meaningfull thing for me....more than you know. And btw, HAPPY BIRTHDAY

New Bouts of Pain... the Problem Spreads

Well, I've now taken several days off from running...because I am having new pain. Now both eyes are affected. I was warned of doing two things: becoming "upset" and doing heavy exercise.

anyway, I have again increaed steroid dosage in both eyes. I hope to run in the AM if I feel better. In the meantime it was a beautiful spring day. Too bad the sunlight killed me.

A Day of Rest--and Contemplation

On Sunday I turned back on the Lakesurf forums. I got phone calls requestiing it, so I thought it would be a way to stop the phone calls. But once I put it up, this kid from Cleveland had established a "group" in yahoo. He linked to it from every category in my forums. Practically every post in it was in some way lambasting me or the site I have.

These people are.....from Cleveland, for God's sake. What did they call that place, "the mistake by the Lake" ?? Anyway, the whole day I was peppered by crappy content on the forums, that turned on the day before. I guess the whole point of it is, I can't stand most of those people. I never could. The only person I could relatively say that I liked was a 'leader' of that scene, someone with some sense of descency,. But when it was all said and done, he gave me the, "see you in the water" crap, the old veiled threat bullshit.


So if Lakesurf succeds or fails, it REALLY, TRULY does not matter to me. I've VOLUNTARILY turned it off now three times. Frankly, I'd love to chuck it all and get out of here....but that might have to wait a bit.

My eyes responded to increased dosage of the steroids today. I was able to do more work on my site and so some more studies of the forex market. The US dollar had little movement today, but oil prices rebounded a bit.

I did not exercise, I used the day to recover and heal.
