Writing about my cataracts is almost over
Well, tomorrow, around 9:00 a.m., I will have a new lens installed in my remaining cataract-infested eye. Like any operation, I'm dreading the operation itself. Still, I will be so happy and relieved to have this whole cataract thing behind me that I won't let the operation worry me, because I can get on with my normal, full-time Nomad lifestyle, which I love. And I think I will love it even more when I can actually see where I'm going.
It's been almost 3 years since a local optometrist told me I had cataracts, and it's taken me this long to actually do something about them. Due to my one-track mind, the only thing I could think of during those last three years was selling the Arctic Fox to get it out of my family's driveway and replacing it with a highly mobile truck camper that better suited my current lifestyle. So I didn't pay much attention to my cataracts. But once I sold the Arctic Fox and a truck camper was sitting in the driveway, then my cataracts became my top priority. Such is the way of the one-track mind.
Once I put on my traveling shoes and hit the road in early November, it will be my 11th year of full timing. I look back on it, and it's hard to believe I've been doing this for that long. People ask me if I get tired of being on the road and not having a "real" home. To which I respond.... HUH? That's what I say all the time because I can't hear people when they're talking normally. But after they repeat it..... A couple of times, I tell them that I still enjoy being on the road and changing locations whenever I feel like it. And I already have a "real" home, it just has wheels under it, which greatly simplifies changing locations whenever I feel like it.
