Keeping our eye on the Mango!


Keeping our eye on the Mango isn't the easiest thing from Toronto but we will succeed! It's all about the water.  Swimming in the ocean back home in Maui and living our passion.  If surgery is mandatory to achieve this Main Goal (Mango) Janet and I are in.  Now that eye #1 is Ocean Safe it's time for eye#2 to become Ocean worthy too. Fortunately her third eye is safely at the helm and will never need surgery. 

Personally, I think Janet has paid enough Karma dues forward to earn a smooth and expedient recovery ride on this surgery. Let's all keep our fingers and fins crossed and send her eye soothing energy and love and just maybe Buddha will smile and we will be back in the water in a wink! 

However, if the waters get rough like last time with 22 injections in her eye, enduring considerable pain-both physically and psychologically and navigating Toronto in the dead of winter for 9 weeks...we are both strong bad ass swimmers and will make it to shore with a little help from all our friends swimming energetically beside us! 


We discovered 2 essential stores which also might help the upcoming journey. We bought new tinted goggles for Janet and got 3 pool swims in before today's surgery (no more for Janet for a few weeks) plus some enhanced gummies to ease the ride for both of us in the coming days. 

Today's surgery went very well and Janet is sleeping off the anesthesia which is a great start as last time barbarically she had no anesthesia. We are both hoping that with this start the trajectory of recovery will be calm smooth gliding waters to shore and home to Maui soon.

    Patti, you paint as vividly and beautifully with words as you do with watercolors and oils. Thank you for letting us travel alongside you and Janet on the path to two ocean-ready eyes. I’m thankful that the surgery went well with less pain this time around. May the healing go smoothly. Many hugs to you and Janet!
