For Christmas, I received a handmade gift certificate for eye surgery from my family. My father had worn glasses most of his life, until cataract issues resulted in his vision improving, and he decided he wanted me to have that experience.

After a decent amount of research, visits with a few different doctors and some planning, I settled on getting my eyes done over the March break, as I can ensure that I’ll have someone able to drive me and take care of me during my recovery.

While getting prescriptions related to the surgery, I took the time to get weighed. I’m sitting at 340lbs, down 6lbs from October. I’ve been both lower and higher in recent years, and given the amount of exercise I get over the winter, it’s slightly better than I’d expect.
