Trying to get back into detecting

[dirtlooter]

The last 4 years have been pretty rough on me. Had 8 surgeries, mainly on my eye. Had two cornea transplants on the same eye. The first one lasted 8 months with a lot of restrictions such as lifting and bending. An unexpectant accident caused the transplant to leak and the surgeries afterwards failed to fix it and so another was required. The first was doing great but the second has not done so well, so I have blurry vision in that eye. This means that my depth perception is way off as well as my balance. But now I am allowed to bend down to dig some. But other issues have of course given me fits so I have to be careful, such as my crippled foot. I went out and did a little bit of detecting but no digging, was great to actually hear the Nox again. Too many trips and falls left my right hand and arm weaker with less feeling in my fingers. I'm going to have some trouble getting up and down but it is what it is. Ready to dig some holes again and get back to it.
