The Game Of My Life

Clarity and acceptance

The unexamined life is not worth living. — Socrates

This writer underwent life-changing cataract surgery and a lens implantation procedure last Tuesday. It was scary, mixed with a feeling of helplessness. But under the brilliant hands and mind of my classmate, Dr. Dino Fontanilla, I now have 20/20 vision in my right eye. It also brought a lot of insights, and the literal clarity brought figurative realizations about sports and life. Please indulge me.

My right eye was down to 50 percent functionality due to cataracts. My left eye is still at below 80 percent, and I will undergo another procedure for it on the 18th. It’s amazing how clear everything has become.
