Things I found out over the last couple of weeks.

• Friends matter.
• Some friends matter more.
• Sitting upright for 50 minutes in an hour, not being able to see, is REALLY boring.
• Listen to your doctors – they know what they’re talking about.
• Sleeping upright is very difficult.
• Disconnecting is refreshing and frustrating in equal measure.
• Podcasts can get very boring if that’s all you can engage with.
• Not being able to read is disenfranchising.
• Being awake during surgery is very weird.
• Morphine is very more-ish.
• An eye patch in public is a great talking point for kids, especially on public transport.

It’s good to be back.
