walking buddha gets the blues

I found out a few weeks ago that I have diabetes. A bit of a bummer, I must say. But, it's not the end of the world. It is the end of the way I used to live my life. Now, I must be aware of what I put inside of me, pills, food, etc. Plus, I've been diagnosed with neuropathy in my feet and advanced proliferative retinopathy in both eyes.
So, on December 15th of this last year, I had a procedure, called a pars plana vitrectomy done on my left eye. I'm still at home recovering and can kind of see out of the eye again and as soon as I can a little bit better, will be having the procedure done in the right eye.
I won't describe it, as it is a bit gross, I will just say that it is very invasive. If you want learn more, you can probably google it, or even email me and I'd be more than happy to let you know all the details. :)
