_________________________

it was like I was telling the nurse before the surgery, the rational part of my brain expected things to be fine. My father, all of his siblings and their mother had the same surgery. Never mind other relatives and acquaintances. I know of one person with any complications and it was "just" an eye infection- no lasting effects. But the anxious part was why my blood pressure and pulse were much higher than normal!

I know some of you may be waiting for an update. Had the cataract surgery in my right eye this morning. Wearing a shield over it right now but the few glimpses I got are encouraging. In the hospital I could read the clock on the wall. I've been nearsighted since 3rd grade so that was wild. I have slept most of the day since I got home.

I go back for the doctor to see how things are going tomorrow.

RE: https://mindly.social/@MarkOnArt/115754626996024602

Small update for those wondering, I have an appointment with a doctor who will hopefully be the one who does the surgery - 27th of this month. 🤞 Still working on building up the funds needed - big thanks to everyone who has supported whether by sharing, commiserating or financially.

Cataract update:

I haven’t posted in a bit because things are in limbo. I’ve had multiple referrals fall through due to insurance and facility coverage issues, so for now I’m waiting on the next referral and don’t have a surgery date yet.

The procedure itself isn’t what worries me. The primary stress is the financial side, with a minimum of about $2,000 out of pocket on top of regular bills.

I know many people are dealing with far more urgent needs, so please know this: spreading the word or simply commiserating is more than enough. If you are able to help, support links are in my Linktree.

If you’d like something tangible, my Linktree also points to where my prints are available, and my Etsy has both prints and digital mobile wallpapers like the samples shown.
Thank you to everyone who’s offered support, in any form. It truly matters.

Yes, it's as frustrating as it sounds. There are places near me that could do the surgery but it turns out to be a string of issues with doctors who don't take my insurance or do but the facility isn't in network. Our healthcare system basically sucks. Or one on Friday that ticks both boxes but has no openings until late 2026 and is two hours away to boot.

2025-12-18T19:55:54Z

A Throwback Thursday photo but a post that is more reflective of the time of year. I let a birthday slide by without really acknowledging it. This year just feels heavy. Dealing with cataracts I hope to get taken care of early next year, new health issues of Mom's, and a lifetime of anxiety I can never quite seem to cope with.

I had a regular checkup with my doctor yesterday. So much anxiety getting there, sitting in the waiting room... Right now the world is so out of focus that even familiar places are anxiety inducing. So I finally had a long conversation with my doctor about anxiety. I'd mentioned it before but shrugged off meds. If any doctor was going to understand where I was coming from it was this one - he was Mom's doctor longer than he was mine. The first thing he said was "you come by it honestly." Third generation legacy member...

I saw what a difference medication made for my Mom, but I've been reluctant to try it myself. I think I have a deep-seated fear of anything that might alter how I think or feel. I've maybe gotten drunk two or three times in my life. I have never used non-prescription drugs. I'm the most boring person that ever was. The idea of losing control even led me to try surgery on my foot without being anesthetized. So my next year of life I try letting go a little and trying a medicated life...

Thanks to someone in Nevada who picked a canvas print. This time of year I’m always curious who’s choosing gifts and who's buying for themselves.

I’ve lost count of the times I went looking for a gift and walked away with one for me and one for them. Just me? 🌈☔💙

PS - I've heard from multiple people who have had similar experiences since sharing mine. Kind of disheartening. I will say I've been fortunate until now to not need specialist care and that the doctor I've used for literal decades takes my insurance. So it's been new territory for me. Single payer healthcare would fix so much dysfunction... never mind the obvious actually covering everyone.

...to home it may be worth waiting. Even as a passenger, I'm tired from the long drives and I would likely have to drag my friend to Atlanta to do any better. To her credit she was willing but I think our sanity is worth getting it done nearby..

The only positive I can see from this is it gives me a little more time to build up the nest egg I need for my out of pocket costs.

I will update as I know more, but in the interim thanks to everyone who has chipped in or spread the word.

...also referred me to another doctor in his same practice for a surgery consult.

No issues with the retina specialist but this week I found out the other referral is not in network, despite having discussed this and the fact he's even now listed in the provider directory. Sigh!

Although I'm not really starting over it feels like it. I managed to get an appt with a doctor nearby next week. I already know they have no surgical appts this year but if I can get it done closer...

Cataract Update:

I’ve been slow to post this because this week was a setback, and honestly discouraging. FYI I’m still working on covering my out-of-pocket for surgery, so if you’re able, my Linktree has ways to help:

Back in October to get a definite diagnosis, I paid out of pocket to see an out-of-network ophthalmologist since I couldn’t find anyone in-network with openings for months. He sent me to a retina specialist...

While it would be great if the needle had moved faster I'll be honest that I always expected it to be a slow pace.

Having had the next appt, I need to write a proper update. It's looking likely the actual surgery will be in the new year which was not what I hoped but will actually give me more time to build up funds.

I've allocated some profits from prints to the total but the Gov't shutdown had its usual depressing effect on sales so I could only do so much while still paying usual bills. But it's still part of the total. 🤞

I had my follow-up with the retina specialist and got the all clear. That was one worry off my plate, so join me in a sigh of relief!

Next week, I see the doctor to discuss timing and details of the surgery. I'm not excited about it, but not dreading it either. Lots of family have been through this, so I know more or less what to expect.
