Thanks for the update. Listen, life has twists & turns. I’m a cancer survivor of 7 years after going thru 2 months of Radiation. Had to switch insurance companies to get the treatment I wanted. After getting diagnosed it took me 6 months before my first treatment. I’ve had 3 stents put in various arteries. Feel great & look forward to every day. Your cataracts are correctable with the surgery. Hang tough I’m sure your going to be amazed at how much better your shooting gets after the surgery & your vision is so much better.

I hope you are better now. I have battled melanoma twice. Once in my back and removed all lymph nodes under my arm, chemo and radiation. then once on my arm caught real early no treatment . Thanks for all you do! You’ve taught me so much. You will continue to be in my prayers!! Keep slinging my friend.

I also paid $150 to have the lens prescription done with ultrasound when they measures for lens diameter. Better than the old fashioned way for sure. It is some hard choices. . I hope it works out well for you. I had one eye done at the Eye Institute in Ottawa and the other one done at a clinic in Ottawa. Lots of eye drops after

I paid for that too. It costs 320 for both eyes here. I could have had it covered my Medicare but it was a e month wait. The lense choice I have because of astigmatism will cost 1000 per eye. If I get the free one I will need to get glasses for far and close.

Brother, Been there with the melanoma. Was twelve years ago and still being watched closely but clean throughout. I live in the US and feel for you having to wait so long for Dr. Visits and lab results, we are blessed that we don't have to deal with that here yet. My wife called her skin Dr as I had never been to one and told him I had a suspicious spot. He saw me the same day after hours. The next night he called with lab results and told me I better meet him in the office the next morning for surgery. I can't imagine how it would have turned out if I had to wait like you. Just the the stress of not knowing for so long a time has got to be bad for you. Hope the surgery goes well and your sight returns to teenage type vision! Great shooting as always. My top two bands are also sniper sling yellow and simple shot black. I tried sniper sling black but my two issues were longevity and it seemed to fail without warning. Most bands you see tears or holes form but the sniper black seemed to just snap when they were done? Anyway, hang in there and at some point in the future you'll be able to look back and see this was just a season of life... Not the new norm. I love slingshot videos and reviews, especially yours, but take care of you. We will be waiting when this season of hardship has passed and your ready to put out content again. You'll know your ready when they are fun again ☺️
@ATOMark
@ATOMark 2 года назад
I am ready to put out content. I actually need to for my sanity. Those months waiting for the results feels like it aged me. The stress is still there it seems but nature is my medicine. I am most comfortable when I am amongst the trees and bear poop. Lol my body is healing now I need to reset my mind and doing what I most enjoy is needed. Making videos is on the list. I wish that was the health service we had in Canada. Could have made the whole deal easier to deal with.

@@ATOMark Yes prompt health care is a blessing when it's a sooner is better than later situation. I'm concerned the vaccine mandate that's getting ready to come down here in the states will slow health care here. Many are vowing to refuse to take it. I actually tested positive for covid last Thursday and have had just mostly sinus infection type symptoms but feeling better everyday. I took the vax and think it's probably the reason my case hasn't been too bad but I'd rather it not be mandated. I think people should be free to choose.

On my other channel I did a "show me your steak" tag video. The purpose was to promote men's mental health and create awareness. It took me about 4-5 tries to film it because I wanted to make it honest and from the heart. I found that video, the process of it made me break through some barriers and learn a lot about myself. From that point on these kind of talks became easier and freeing. It is easy to dwell on things good and bad but life is like the seasons they change and nothing good or bad lasts for ever...... but sometimes you can speed up a bad season by being honest about it and letting it out. My reasons for keeping it hush hush was purely selfish. Having a huge family I really didn't want to talk about it every day. It was not going to be productive in reducing my stress levels and getting healthy. Some people are angry that I didn't tell them, but that comes from a selfish place of their own. Try drop those walls brother those who won't stand by you or judge you during the hard times have no place around you during the good. It is tuff and I still get anxious when I decide to let something out but I try to flip it , change my mind set to curiosity. How will they react, respond or feel about the situation. I have found it really works for me and it gets easier every time.

I'll take all the help I can old friend. I am in no rush to lose the weight. I figure cut the processed foods and make healthy choices and exercise more and the weight will take care of its self. 240 lbs man that is incredible. Congrats. Thanks for stopping in brother.

That s robin is just amazing You're a really good shot a lot of it is down to form clean realise you're repetition watching Im no expert but sometimes Seeing the target awesome is great but sort of overrated, if you can make You're foresight or fork corner crisp in focus and the target slightly blury shooting with both eyes open for really good snap shooting, this is mainly pistol thought, I gota say I find myself closing an eye having fun with the torque Great shooting though brother
@ATOMark

@@ifv2089 this is what i try to do. Yhe problem is I can't get my fork to focus any more. So alot of what I am shooting now is guess work. I am starting to try keeping both eyes open and it helps a little but if I get any glare on my eye from the sun forget it I just put the catty away.

@@ATOMark yea thats going to make it hard to send it, Could settle on a frying pan as a target or move target closer, but not the same magic deffo. Both eyes open you could get really good at guessing lol, all else fails Archery is completely adaptive. I knew of an eod guy who was a basically torso with a head n blind he did archery on recovery course wearing a harness and a mouth pull cord realise as well as buzzers etc never looked back. But I Hope surgery fix it mate Good see you still loving it The frames they are making today mind blown ! Maybe try adapt a true glow dot or fiber for the fork tip 👍

I’m sorry to hear about the issues that you are dealing with but I’m glad you caught it earlier and had it taken care of before the cancer spread. Cataract surgery is fast and painless for the most part. My mom had it done last year and now she sees better than I do. She very seldom wears her glasses anymore. Takecare of yourself brother 👊
@ATOMark
@ATOMark 2 года назад
I'm on the mend and thats all that matters. My mother had it done aswell. It is just a costly operation. I am looking at about 1000 an eye minimum. We will see how it all turns out. Just have to save my pennies. I'm not worried about the pain. I have worked in the steel industry for 20 years. Cuts and fractures are common place in this industry. I could get the free option but I would still need glasses. Seems like a waste to me. I would rather pay a little extra and not need glasses at all. For now it is back to shooting and videos to the best of my capability until I get my eyes fixed
