After 6 months of hell, I am getting vitrectomy tomorrow

On 21st June a sudden cloud and jellyfish appeared in my eye, and these 6 months have been the hardest of my life, and that's saying something.

My massive jellyfish in perpetual motion in the right eye has completely obliterated my chances of getting a job, travelling, driving a car, reading a book, going out during daylight, hiking. My shape has also suffered. I used to go 3-4 times per week to the gym and was reasonably active. Now I am the most sedentary I have ever been. Many, many days all I wanted was to be in complete darkness and look at a single point of reference in my laptop watching a TV show or listening to podcasts in bed. My normal energy level has lasted 4-5 hours per day, not more.

At the same time it has given me the gift to show me who is really by my side (some close friends, my girlfriend) and who has invalidated, abused my vulnerability and just dismissed my handicap (fake friends, 'family'), it has pushed me to create side projects to create future wealth for me and have a different foundation for when I get healed. I connected with friends who really wanted to help me. It has shown me the path to freedom.

Freedom of perception from others, of validating my own pains and issues despite what everyone says, freedom to do whatever it takes to survival and connect with my primal self for survival and basic safety and wellbeing. Freedom to never come back to my hometown, where I have discovered that I have almost zero emotional support (my girlfriend lives in a different country, it's LDR so far).

I needed a 'wake up call' like this. It was extreme but necessary. So to the jellyfish and the 'dirty cloud', I am kind of grateful. A lot of pain, but many valuable lessons. I think this whole ordeal has made me more patient and built more 'radical acceptance' inside.

Tomorrow I am getting surgery (vitrectomy 27g), in what seems to be one of the best centers in my country. I am somehow nervous. But hopefully I will say goodbye to the jellyfish and the 'dirty cloud' forever. I can report tomorrow if you want.
