In February of 2023 I was diagnosed with rapidly advancing cataracts. This was on top of an existing diagnosis of Ulcerative Colitis that had been giving me challenges non-stop since September of 2019. This is a record of my experience dealing with the cataracts, and some of the other things that happened along the way. Fair warning it won’t always be pretty.
