Sight for Sore Eyes

   Wuddup Gang?!

        Let me start off by saying I hope y'all are having a good week! I'm sorry I missed the post last week but there was too much going on. First of all, I mentioned a couple of posts ago that I was thinking about getting my Motorcycle license...well I obtained that last friday. That being said, I've never even driven a motorcycle so I did the responsible thing and registered for the Training Course. It's a "no brainer" really as it's not worth risking your life not being fully prepared for obstacles that could be placed in your path. I'm taking the course in a couple weeks from now which also means I'm also currently shopping for a starter bike!

         Something y'all don't know about me is that I am virtually blind in my left eye. It was about 7 years ago when my vision went and I tell you I was honestly too paranoid to go get my eyes looked at. I figured that if it was a tumour or something I'd rather not know. Well looking back at it now that was a terrible frame of mind. I mean it could have been something I could have fixed if I had of caught it early or if it was a tumour I could have seen it early and had it removed or treated. When I was with the doctor he asked me why it took me so long to come and have it looked at and truthfully I didn't really have an answer...I was flat out embarrassed. Luckily for me, my problem was not Glaucoma or a tumour (as was suspected) but in fact a case of Toxoplasmosis. Doc said that I more than likely picked it up from having cats as pets when I was a kid. In most cases the organism that gets into your eye occupies an area along the edge and deteriorates the tissue it inhabits and then falls dormant. In my case, the target was the centre of my eye leaving me unable to see any kind of detail. With the edge of the eye I can still see shapes and colours but that's about it...you could hold up fingers right in front of my face and I'd have no idea. It's also unfortunate that it's permanent and there's no way to fix it but hey, it could have been a whole lot worse and I'm thankful that's all it was.

           Anyway on a positive note, I've been putting in work learning to play this guitar and my boys have been playing some solid ball lately. My company's name is on the back of those jerseys so it's about time they turn it around! Just kidding fellas.

           Oh, almost forgot... Happy Canada Day (July 1st) to all my Canadians out there and Happy 4th of July to all my Americans! Y'all be safe over the next 10 days but don't let that stop you from goin' hard!!! All the best and I'll catch you on the flip side...or next thursday.
