Good to hear you're recovering and motivated - Dad used to say "mind over matter".
After my detached-retina repair & cataract surgery, my close-up depth perception has been kinda wonky.
So I took up scale modeling to kinda force the issue, and it's helped.
Sometimes it's frustrating, but the blood of my stubborn-[censored] forebears is something of a propellant.
Aging isn't always smooth & easy, but it's better than the alternative, right?
