Postponin' Ain't Easy

I am feeling like progress is on hold right now ~ I have been inundated with eye health issues (severe dry eye, scratches, haemorrhages, uv damage growth, dropping eyelid) since the Fall and was actually supposed to go for surgery last week BUT they decided it was too risky which has no led me to a new doctor and a corneal specialist who gave me a second opinion.  This was way BETTER news about my eye health.  Long story short looks like I am in pretty good shape minus contact intolerance and headaches from glasses.  This has been a very long process and seems to have so many unknowns which drives me crazy.  Not a fan of the waiting game when it means serious headaches everyday because I am glasses only right now ~ headaches that stem from my -8.25 prescription.  Clear out front, blurry colours in periphery.  My brain isn't happy about it!

I go in for final evaluation in March and if all goes well then will be surgically corrected in April.  Fingers crossed but not holding my breath!  If I can not move ahead with surgery I plan on wearing "dailies" when glasses free and look into some Naturopath ideas on improving eye dryness, etc.  Either way it will all turn out:)  SOOOOO adjusting to training with thick glasses on has been a challenge ~ hate skip rope right now :)  But working at it and feeling good.  With prepping for surgery I have not done my cleanse I wanted too just yet and will wait until final call on surgery in March.

I am excited to say I have been seeing a Naturopath and am very excited for that support in my life.  It is for sure a different kind of care with my Naturopath compared to my regular doctor.  I love the holistic, whole picture take on my health and feel it is exactly what I need right now!  I am pleased with the hope it gives me.  Once I get this eye thing figured out and with Spring on the horizon, it will be so nice to move into a little more serious training.  I am hoping to start running in addition to my classes at Excel.  There are some great new options coming to Excel as well (I am hoping to write a post on them in the next week or so!!).  A change in training is like a fresh breath of air!  Keeping my head up and thinking positive!
